Democrats Hate Black People

In any city in America where the population exceeds 100,000 we’ve all noticed one thing. That is there is the good side of town and the bad side of town. Now, no one wants to say it, except me, but just who lives in the bad side of town? The side where there’s always news of a gang shooting, a large drug bust, muggings and so forth. And, when I say who I really mean, “what” race? This isn’t higher math, and before you whip out the racism card hear me out. But, speaking of higher math let’s examine some prescient statistics. In 1960 a black man had a 3% chance of going to prison during his lifetime. Today one in four black men will see the insides of the ole Stony Lonesome, the Graybar Hotel. In 1960 the illegitimacy rate among black women was 30%. Today it is approaching 80%. In 1960 whites were 8 times more likely to commit murder. Today that number is reversed.

If you look at the statistical trends you will notice the incline in percentages began trending upward in 1965. That year is important because it follows the year, “1964” wherein America began its unending war on poverty. Funny, we’ve been fighting this war for 44 years, democrats usually like to start a war and pull out just in time to lose it. Pulling out early must be a primordial genetic defect suffered only by liberal democrats, “think blue dress”.

Ronald Reagan said, “If you subsidize something you will get more of it”. For far too long we have been subsidizing poverty and destroying the black community. The unintended, “maybe yes, maybe no” consequences of paying black women/girls to pop out kid after kid with no father in the home and increase the numbers left of the decimal point on their welfare checks for doing so has decimated our inner cities, Thank-you democrats.

It was Benjamin Franklin who said, “Poverty should not be made comfortable, people should be run from it”. Abraham Lincoln said, “You should not build your house by taking planks from another’s”.

I’m just saying, it seems to me we have gotten things backwards and instead of punishing failure and rewarding success we’ve begun doing the opposite. I blame democrats for this class warfare. They target success as if winners and losers are picked. This might surprise you; recent statistics bear out what I’ve thought for a long time, less than one percent of the, “wealthy” inherited their wealth. For those in the class without their Mickey Mouse calculators, a quick tabulation informs us that 99% of the, “wealthy” earned their riches the old fashioned way. They went out into this country as entrepreneurs, inventors, innovators, investors and kicked ass. They took chances, they worked hard and they achieved the American dream. But, no one gave it to them. And then they get punished by confiscatory tax burdens. 10% of wage earners in this country pay 90% of our tax revenues. There are too many people riding in the wagon and not enough pulling it.

Look, here’s what I’m saying; as long as we keep rewarding failure and punishing success we’ll have more of one and less of another.
