Liberal platform for dealing with black poverty...destroy the black culture by (1) providing financial incentives for black children to have more black children, and celebrating the fact that the nuclear family is an anachronism. Mock any attempts that conservatives make to change this behavior. (2) make blacks addicted to welfare, killing the intrinsic drive to be self-sufficient. Give them just enough welfare to postpone death, but not nearly enough to move up the economic ladder. Make blacks terrified that any elected Republican will kick them off welfare (it was OK for Bill Clinton to do that, but if a conservative does it, it's racist and lacks compassion (3) tell blacks that nothing they do is ever their fault, that it's all because of the white man, preferably a white man wearing a suit. In this way, liberals can feel as if they are helping, yet still not have to worry that blacks will be in line with them on the ferry to Marthas Vineyard.
Conservative platform for dealing with black poverty...stop the cycle of kids having kids. If someone has the ability to work, give them the tools they need to climb out of poverty on their own. If someone cannot work, take care of them the best we can. Teach them to be responsible and accountable and self-reliant.
The liberal way has been such a smashing success, i can see why you claim that my side lacks compassion, for suggesting that we try something else.
How much damage are you willing to let liberal ideology do to the black community, before admitting that we need to try a different approach?
I don't get it. I look at our cities, which are abject failures, and I say to myself "whatever policies have been implemented here, are clearly not working". I don't get how one could possibly arrive at a different conclusion, maybe Eben or Paul S can enlighten me.
