Pimps Whores and Welfare Brats: From Welfare Cheat to Conservative Messenger
Born-again black conservative Parker puts her political faith on the line in no uncertain terms. Liberal Democrats are pimps, she says, who use black political leaders as whores to seduce black voters into supporting welfare and other policies that have produced a passel of welfare brats (black and white)--permanent dependents on government handouts. Before she presents this analysis, she tells her own fascinating story of descent, after four abortions, into welfare-dependent, unwed motherhood and of rising out of it, thanks to a Christian conversion experience, to become the successful editor-publisher of a community service magazine. That enterprise was destroyed by the 1992 Los Angeles riots, in which most of her advertisers' businesses perished. She then launched the Coalition on Urban Affairs, which advocates conservative social policies. With Benet's help, she makes a fast-reading, colorful, entertaining book of her story and opinions. With an introduction and probable on-the-air promotion by Rush Limbaugh, Parker's may become the most popular black conservative testimonial ever.Ray Olson
