BINGO.
In big cities, where large numbers of blacks live, Democrats almost always are in charge, and have been for a generation. Are these cities better off than they were 30 years ago, or worse?
That alone should be enough to reject much of liberalism with great confidence. Yet the people in these cities wake up in the morning, open their doors, look around, and vote for more of the same. So do people like Spence. If I lived in Bridgeport, I'd assume that
anything would be better than what's currently running the show, which is liberalism.
I want to be a life coach for these people. Here's what I would tell every single one of them..."if you want to know what the problem is, look in the mirror. If you want to know what the solution is, look in the bible". (there are other solutions, of course, such as responsibility and hard work and empathy for your neighbors, but IMHO the bible establishes those things very well)
Liberals take the exact opposite approach. Blacks, having been anointed with "victim" status by liberals, are therefore told that nothing they do is ever their fault. The problem always lies with someone else, preferably a white man in a Brooks Brothers suit. And the solution is more gubmint. Because that has worked SO WELL in cities like Hartford and Bridgeport (in CT), where pure liberalism has run un-checked for 30 years. And by every conceivable measure, it has been a miserable failure. But you won't see Spence admit that. Liberals will tell you that cities are worse off, because they haven't gone far enough down the liberal path...because as we all know, the best way to get out of a hole is to keep diggng, right?
I don't get why people don't respond to actual, real-life, empirical evidence.
