Calling liberalism's effect on black communities "horrific," the longtime call screener for Rush Limbaugh says that for most of black people, the good old days were the days before desegregation.
James Golden, better known by fans of the Rush Limbaugh radio show as "Bo Snerdley," the show's call screener and occasional "Official Obama Criticizer."

He told
The Daily Caller that as the first black president, Barack Obama has actually made race relations in America worse.
Black families consisted of two-parent households at the time, and predominantly black universities were turning out doctors and lawyers on merit, he said, "not through affirmative action" and "when the No. 1 cause of death for [young] black people wasn't homicide."
Golden wonders why
Dr. Kermit Gosnell, the Philadelphia abortionist who was accused of killing black women and babies, was allowed to get away with his actions for so long, and no one from the black community wants to tell the story.
Black music has fallen from the heights of Duke Ellington and Stevie Wonder to "misogynistic and violent gansta rappers," said Golden, who is black.
"We don’t care about values," he said. "Anybody who talks about black values is the enemy."
"Al Sharpton and his bunch should be ashamed of themselves," he told the Caller, saying such "race hustlers" as Sharpton have "let the issue of black life degenerate into a politically opportunistic issue."
He advised black people to stop relying on Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and others to solve their problems.
"There are no Republicans in your neighborhoods," Golden said, addressing the black community. "The problem is the people in your neighborhood. Obama’s not coming to help you in your neighborhood unless you live in Martha’s Vineyard or have a golf course."
But Golden also had advice for conservatives. They should not react to Sharpton and Jackson when injustices occur against black people, he said. Instead, they should get to know people in black neighborhoods so they can get firsthand knowledge when incidents such as the Trayvon Martin or Michael Brown shootings occur.
Golden said he has always been conservative, but didn't always vote that way. The same is true with most black people he said.
The presidency of Ronald Reagan turned him around, he said, when he saw a man he genuinely liked being attacked for who he was.
