My only disagreement with that: The Left's views are not soft bigotry. That is hard bigotry.

It is not that they have low expectations. They believe blacks are incapable of doing something that every thinking individual can do. Only clinical morons can't get IDs. The Left thinks blacks are, as a group, clinical morons, who cannot do basic things without the help of government. I don't know what is soft about that. That is hard bigotry as far as I am concerned.
