Larry Elder is beating a crowded field of politicians at their own game, emerging as an unlikely Republican frontrunner in California’s upcoming recall election.
To Elder, it’s all evidence that “blacks are more racist than whites” and that “white condescension is more damaging than white racism,” as he wrote in his 2001 book, “The Ten Things You Can’t Say in America.”
But, Navarrette said, as Elder’s star grew, he increasingly spoke to white conservatives, who are thrilled to hear a Black man tell them things like absentee fathers are to blame for crime, systematic racism is a “lie” and the minimum wage should be $0. “The good news is he is a great communicator,” Navarrette said. “The bad news is in the process of communicating, he sometimes forgets he’s no longer hosting a radio show.”Elder’s up-by-the-bootstraps life story is the foundation of his iconoclastic worldview.
But after law school, when Elder went to confront his father late one night at the cafe he ran, they talked for eight hours, and Elder’s anger melted away. that Elder in 2015 brandished a gun while he was high on marijuana during an argument while they were dating. Elder hasn’t been charged with any crimes.
