5. “…one tragic consequence of [the Great Society] strategy was that the government used child poverty to crush individualism and pride among inner-city blacks. …when Congress mandated food stamps, welfare “recruiters”…went into the cities to convince poor people to enroll.
..at the end of the day, their welfare state–based though it may have been on love, concern, and niceness–resulted in more damage to the black family… Today black children are less likely to be raised by two parents than they were during the era of slavery." Liberal Fascism, pp. 346, 347
6. [Aid to Families with Dependent Children's--AFDC] “no-father policy…left inner-city black boys with no male role models. After a few years [in] one of “the projects”…a young man could literally look in any direction and not see an intact black family. Stepping up as role models, the gang leaders…inducted thousands of impressionable young males into drug running, gun battles, and often death. No amount of jobs programs would fill the void produced by the Great Society’s perverted incentives that presumed as unnecessary the role of the father.” A Patriot’s History of the United States, pp. 689
Who is responsible???
Democrats….Liberals….Progressives….who may have had good intentions at the start.
Communists…..who had other motives.
And the suckers who still support the Democrats.
The truly pathetic part of this story is that the majority of the supposedly oppressed contine to cling to the party of their oppressors instead of the party responsible for their freedom.
