Holy shit. A left winger has actually seen the black poverty situation today actually started with FDR and the democrats back during the new deal years. It's almost like they didn't want blacks out of slavery they just needed a new set of chains for them.Racist whites at all levels of government wrote unconstitutional laws that guaranteed state-sponsored racial discrimination against all Americans born without a pale complexion.The left likes to spin the death of Eric Garner as an example of racism and police abuse in America. But the fact is this, liberal policies created the conditions in which Garner died.
New York is run by liberals. Liberals have raised taxes on cigarettes so astronomically high that they unwittingly created a black market for them. Eric Garner was selling cigarettes via the black market and New York wasn't getting their cut via the taxes that were supposed to be paid. Liberal politicians want the New York police to arrest those illicitly trafficking in non-taxed (non-stamped) cigarettes. Hence, the police caught Garner and, in the struggle to subdue him, Garner died.
Liberals want more government, more taxation and more police to enforce their will. Then, when something goes south, liberals blame the police, racism or whitey. Got it?
"From the first segregated public housing projects of President Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal, to the 1949 Housing Act that encouraged white movement to the suburbs, to unconstitutional racial zoning ordinances enacted by city governments...the American city is the direct result of unconstitutional, state-sanctioned racial discrimination.

Poverty killed Eric Garner, and much of the inter generational neglect Garner was born into is baked into the US economic system.
