| Who Is to Blame for Black Poverty? |
| 2020-12-21 |
| BLUF: [American Thinker] The evidence seems to show that Black people themselves appear to not want to be helped. One definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again while expecting different results. So, are Black voters in these areas insane? They keep voting for the likes of Sheila Jackson Lee, Maxine Waters, and Kweisi Mfume, but expect these serial grifters to suddenly start working for them. In my eyes, that puts the blame squarely on both parties, the politicians and the voters who keep sending them back to their offices. Is it because the way things stand now, those voters are cozily wrapped up in their blanket of victimhood? Is it so comfy in there receiving their government subsistence handouts that they can’t be bothered to get out and do something about it? Is the alternative to this abusive, co-dependent relationship — personal responsibility, hard work, and entrepreneurialism — just too difficult to face? My prediction for all of these cities that I’ve mentioned, and any other Democrat-run major cities around the country, is that if a Biden/Harris ticket sets up shop in the White House, in four years’ time those cities will look much the same as they do now, except with four more years’ worth of decay, addiction, and violent crime. But those citizens can comfort themselves that they still have someone else to blame for their problems. |

| #5 Destroy (polluting) heavy industry that doesn't require an advanced degree ...and... Instant Poverty! No Jobs equals No Money equals Poverty. Complicated, isn't it? |

| #2 Im pretty sure LBJ opened the free lunch counter but they made it a restaurant 24/7. The path since then has been an unbroken chain of stupid choices made based on a need to pretend they aren’t white, dont want to act like whites, and don’t need to behave by the same standards. Frankly now that none of that has turned out well they are just down to gangster threats and corrupt city colonies.selling phony voters. I don’t see a path back to unity anytime soon. |

| #1 After 60 years of the Great Society programs and trillions of dollars? Those who won't help themselves. The poor are neither inherently angels nor devils. They are what they make of themselves. It's call human free will. Something the socialist reject and thus all their failures. |
