Is it really worth it for the favoritism and handouts to be held in such contempt? Gavin Newsom has let slip the liberal elite’s condescending attitude toward blacks.
Via Daily Wire:
During a Sunday night appearance promoting his forthcoming memoir, “Young Man in a Hurry,” Newsom told Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens that he wasn’t trying to appear superior.
“I’m like you. I’m not better than you,” Newsom said. “I’m a 960 SAT guy.”
Here’s what Newsom meant by “I’m like you”:
According to 2024 College Board data, the average SAT score for black test takers is 907, compared with 1083 for white students.
That’s why academic admissions are largely based on race rather than aptitude. Newsom owes his own success to connections:
Newsom has built his political brand on elite credentials and progressive moral posturing, yet his own biography is steeped in institutional advantage. He graduated from Santa Clara University in 1989, having received a letter of recommendation from then-Gov. Jerry Brown, who had appointed Newsom’s father to a California appellate judgeship.
His connection to the ultrarich Getty family enabled his political career. For details, read Fool’s Gold by Susan Crabtree and Jedd McFatter.
Appallingly, if he is on the ballot in 2028, 90% of blacks will vote for him.

Newsom is in the wrong business, all right. He should be selling used cars.
His gaffe recalls the famous Joe Biden quote, “Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.” Kathy Hochul’s proclamation that black kids in the Bronx don’t know what the word “computer” means also comes to mind. Then there is the famous line by the Father of the Welfare State, Lyndon Johnson.
