Uncle Sam has developed a sophisticated poverty plantation, operated by a federal government, overseen by bureaucrats, protected by media elite, and financed by the taxpayers. The only difference between this plantation and the slave plantations of the antebellum South is perception. If anyone works their way off of the plantation and denounces it, they are called uppity or sellout or even Uncle Tom. Instead of a physical beating, defectors are ostracized in the public forum. ~Star Parker Parker was born to mostly absent parents and raised in a nonreligious home; she says she was raised by the secular Im okay, youre okay doctrine that says people should be allowed to make their own rules and shouldnt judge other peoples lives. She lived in Japan for three years and returned to the U.S., moving to East St. Louis, Illinois, at twelve, at which point she says she just joined right in with the anger and tension among blacks in the area. I bought into the lie that there was nothing in America for me except institutional racism and glass ceilings that would keep me from getting promoted, she said. She said that after one arrest for shoplifting, her white high school guidance counselor told her not to worry about it, because I was a victim of racism, lashing out at society. After attending church at the behest of her friends, she became a Christian and her life turned around. She enrolled in Woodbury University and graduated with a degree in marketing. She began advocating for conservative social and political causes. She founded CURE in 1995, and took it on full-time after being laid off from her job as a host on Los Angeles radio station KABC after it was purchased by Disney.
