When you take a group of people and purposely keep them impoverished and uneducated and feed each generation bullshit rhetoric about how oppressed they are, that is the result.
The left has targeted minorities for decades. They started with a plan to use the freed slaves and they are still at it.
Why do poor minorities support the Dem party? It really doesn't make sense unless some people are brainwashed. Liberals push the notion that minorities are unable to contribute to society in any meaningful manner. They believe that minorities are here to be taken care of with government programs. If minorities want to succeed, liberals tell them that they cannot do anything without the assistance of government programs that tilt the playing field in their favor. It's all about lowering standards by giving them the edge with affirmative action and lowering the bar. Liberals simply do not believe that minorities can survive on their own ability.
When minorities reject nanny government and succeed the same way non-minorities do, the liberals are quick to attack and hold the achievers up as exceptions to the rule. They preach that the only way minorities succeed without nanny government is by betraying their race and becoming a puppet to the wealthy. In other words, they don't believe it is possible for any minority to succeed without someone else allowing them to or helping them. That is why Ben Carson, Herman Cain, Thomas Sowell and other successful minorities are viciously attacked by the left. They paint them as traitors and it's to prevent other minorities from getting any big ideas about leaving the liberal plantation. The nerve of some to prove that they are free Americans with equal opportunities is unforgivable to liberals. They don't know their place and the party that voted against freeing the slaves and later against equal rights will have none of it. From the start, they fought against minorities being equal and chasing the American dream. They sought to keep them down and dependent on government. It's well documented that when they lost the effort to keep them down, they quickly devised a plan to use the newly freed slaves to their advantage. Today, they have re-written history to erase their sinful past and now claim that they have always been the party of equal rights.
They didn't believe minorities were equal then and they don't believe it now. Why else would they constantly encourage people to be idle and turn to government for every need? It's sad that so many believe it. So many of our youth, particularly minorities from poor neighborhoods, are uneducated, have no role models, often turn to gangs and drugs and believe that they have no hope without liberal politicians coming to their rescue. They blame their lot in life on the wealthy, though none can explain why. The notion is that the wealthy somehow gobbled up the pie and left none for anyone else. Minorities don't try because they've been convinced that no one will allow them to succeed because the world is so full of racists that they have no chance of making it on their own.
The intelligent people who know that the secret is simply staying in school, working hard and staying out of trouble will result in more pies being made. The left teaches that wealth is finite. Today's far left liberal Democrat party would become irrelevant if people learned that they've been lied to and that anyone can create wealth. The left's policies have encouraged kids to drop out of school and have babies to qualify for welfare. The minority families especially have been broken down and this has gone on for decades. Government assumed the role of father years ago, yet is nothing but a deadbeat dad. However, their power to steal from the tax payers to keep the idle fed has earned enough trust that people continue to vote for them. Of course, it's the constant promise of more welfare that keeps them going. For years, we've heard that the liberals will go after the wealthy and make them pay. Of course, it hasn't happened and never will. The freebies do increase, but it's the middle class that gets soaked to pay for the big promises.
They ramp up efforts each passing year to keep the status quo. Fanning the flames of race and class warfare are the favored methods of keeping people riled and angry. They separate people into groups, then pit each group against the other. Divide and conquer.
With the race card wearing thin, they've come up with a new tactic. White privilege is now the new talking point. Even those who don't have a racist bone in their body must still be held accountable for past wrongs simply because they were born white. The left says you are advantaged, genetically better, if you are born white. It's another clue as to how they really view minorities. If you are born black, you are just not as good as someone born white. And because you're not as good by virtue of your race, the whites should feel guilty about that. Instead of being honest about the fact that we are all truly equal and it's a matter of making good choices, they prefer to tell minorities that they truly are inferior and, therefore, there is no use in trying to keep up with the whites. Instead, the whites owe them since they are lucky enough to be naturally better. It's the healthy ones in the litters charged with taking care of the sickly runts. That is how liberals see things. The saddest part is that this view has become so institutionalized that too many take it as fact. When children are taught from the start that they will never be treated equally or fairly because they weren't lucky enough to have light skin, they grow up believing that they have no chance. They give up before they even try and are doomed to a life of dependency under the cruel hand of liberal government.
True benevolence is encouraging everyone to fly, not keeping them in a cage with the promise of making the prison bigger and better. Intelligent people know that. Indoctrinated people fear true freedom.
