you get the feeling libs dont know who is president; or what year it is.
i'm pretty sure Poverty was higher under Presidents that came before Reagan; unless you want to say things were better for Black Americans before the civil rights era?
libs are idiots who lie to themselves
I get the correct feeling that you don't know how to read a graph correctly, there were at three Presidents BEFORE Reagan where the poverty rate was lower than his. The rate rose after he took office. The other FACT is that Reagan's was higher than Obama's, so that makes your original assertion wrong.
So you DO agree that the Civil Rights Era and the associated programs DID help a lot of Blacks out of poverty.
Before you call "Libs" idiots, take a look in the mirror.
This graph shows that the poverty rate started falling in 1959, long before LBJ announced his 'War On Poverty' lie.
It also shows that the rate had leveled off around 15% within a few months of his announcement but before any real initiatives were undertaken. Only an idiot would believe that a president can speak a few words and, like an incantation, make something this massive happen overnight.
But, you're a dimocrap. I have learned to never underestimate the stupidity of dimocraps.
