Excuse me, more whites collect welfare and food stamps than blacks.
Yeah, that's because there are five times as many whites as there are blacks. Percentage wise, it is higher among black Americans than whites.
Welfare did not put black at the bottom of the economic chain, it is discrimination.
Discrimination was the reason 50 years ago. Today it is the welfare state and the inner city gangster mentality.
Hand out? Blacks gave 200 years of free labor, any hand out they get is pay back for what their ancestors were cheated out of. Black slaves had nothing to pass down to their families,etc. Whites did and on the backs of black slave labor which they benefited from and still is. We can never compensate blacks.
This is not an excuse in the 21st century. Blacks have been given every opportunity to move upwards within society: affirmative action programs, scholarships, etc. It is their own subculture that is keeping them impoverished.
Democrat, Clinton, reformed welfare so what is the other exucse for blacks favoring democrats.
Clinton signed off on welfare reform after once vetoing it and then having his hand forced by a very conservative Congress.
What grew the welfare system is GOP sending jobs overseas and putting millions out of work forcing them on welfare.
The Republican Party has not sent a single job overseas. Companies send jobs overseas and they do it because of the policies of both Republican and Democratic politicians.
What will bring equality to america is when those who are created equal is treated equal.
I agree, so you tell your fellow "Native Americans" to get their lazy, drunk asses off of the Indian reservations and start contributing to society instead of sucking off of the welfare state.
Until then, we wil always have the poor and disadvantaged.
Regardless, there will always be the poor and disadvantaged because of human behavior.
Black are disadvantaged from childhood by the white system of things.
And poor white kids are also disadvantaged from birth. Nobody is born into the same set of circumstances, but the only person to blame for not bettering yourself is you.
I can see you are one of the "good ol boys."
We've all known for quite some time what a senile kook you are, so it's quite ironic for you to be insulting somebody else.
