The Left hates...

Bizarre Dave Spart-speak comment on http://www.boingboing.net/2009/11/16/teaching-refugees-ho.html
The problem with this type of model is that it assumes that globalization is good. What are the socio-cultural implications. It's pretty clear that these type of organizations advocate a new form of racial subordination by creating a savior complex for "Western" society. Leila is from LA she did not grow up in these communities nor will she ever be able to understand all the cultural nuances of "uplifting" them. When is Leila going to empower the individuals she employs to be able to do the work that she does? The true measure of success will be when these women no longer need Leila.
