Blind Conceit: Politics, Policy and Racial Polarization: Moving Forward to Save America

In â€œBlind Conceit,â€ Parker lays out how the progressive liberal agenda, often touted as being helpful to the African-American community, has been nothing short of destructive through its â€œWar on Religion, which weakened our public institutions and opened the door to a culture of corruption,â€ its â€œWar on Marriage, which weakened women and opened the door to a culture of meaninglessness,â€ and its â€œWar on Poverty, which weakened the family and opened the door to a culture of entitlements,â€ writes Parker. Seven years of first-hand experience in the grip of welfare dependency gave Parker the understanding and insight to the failure of the system. After helping craft federal Welfare Reform legislation in the mid-90s, she founded the Center for Urban Renewal and Education (CURE) to bring new ideas to policy discussions on how to transition America's poor from government dependency through market-based solutions. Star has a bachelor's degree in marketing and international business from Woodbury University and has received numerous awards and commendations for her work on public policy issues. â€œThe liberal progressive social justice lie of the left gripped Americaâ€™s poor and minority communities some 50 years ago and locked three generations into economic stagnation and dependency on a welfare state,â€ explains Parker. â€œAnd today, progressive liberalism is financially choking our entire society.â€ Parker regularly consults with both federal and state legislators on market- based strategies to fight poverty; she has spoken on more than 190 colleges and universities about anti-poverty initiatives; has authored several books; and is a nationally syndicated columnist with Creators.
