>but when you're root belief is a black man can't make it on his own without a politician's help, you can paint yourself into a corner pretty easy.

Except that's not the belief as all. The belief is that circumstances that have built up over the last 500 years, or 25 generations, have made it much less likely for a black man to succeed than a white man.

It's so much easier to feel like you've won a debate when you make up your opponent's argument for him.
