That phrase was written by speech writer Michael Gerson for use by President George W. Bush in one of his speeches. It refers to the fact that the left approach when it comes to minorities – especially in the black community – is based on the notion that they are unable to achieve success in a white-dominated American society. That attitude is being proselytized by politicians, academics and radical groups like ANTIFA and BLM.
A good example is the canard that Republicans are suppressing the vote by passing laws that make voting more difficult when, in fact, they are making voting easier when making voter fraud harder. (The voting law in Georgia, makes voting easier than the voting laws in Delaware – Biden's home state, but Georgia is being accused, even by Joe Biden, of using the dreaded “Jim Crow” voting laws of yore).
