"You seem to be conveniently ignoring the fact that by far most welfare recipients are poor whites living in the south. It seems most political beliefs on the right are just flimsy covers for racism. It has always existed but has gotten worse since Obama became president."

Racism worse than before? But who promotes most of the racism today through their racist remarks from the white house podium through this lawless regime? From the top down, racism has constantly been promoted where racism does not exist. Lets look at your "non racist" platforms supported by demoncrats.

How many times do demoncrats use planned birth control and abortion as a re election tool? This is a staple of the demoncrat party. In every political race they rely on their party platform of Abortions and birth control. The most radical racist party ever is the demoncrat party. Why was planned parenthood founded? To rid the nation of blacks. And you who support the dems are so self righteous. Read what Margret Samger, the demoncrat heroine had to say. And you who stand with these yell racist racist racist? Margret Sanger Sweetheart of the Left

You love to yell racist, but only the most racist of all would support the demoncrap party. No?? Read on. If you were truly non racist wouldn't you stand up against these things? You stand to uphold abortion, yet abortion was designed to phase out the black man in America and it is still the very same Margret Sanger genocide plan this very day, both encouraged and supported by dems. So who truly are the racists, not through speech of course, but rather through their deed and support for the great killing machine. Yes, so supportive of the black man (wink wink) while the killing machine rolls merrily along ridding the nation of them.

Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in America. 78% of their clinics are in minority communities. Blacks make up 12% of the population, but 35% of the abortions in America. Are we being targeted? Isn't that genocide? We are the only minority in America that is on the decline in population. If the current trend continues, by 2038 the black vote will be insignificant. Did you know that the founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, was a devout racist who created the Negro Project designed to sterilize unknowing black women and others she deemed as undesirables of society? The founder of Planned Parenthood said, "Colored people are like human weeds and are to be exterminated." Is her vision being fulfilled today?

"Several years ago, when 17,000 aborted babies were found in a dumpster outside a pathology laboratory in Los, Angeles, California, some 12-15,000 were observed to be black."
--Erma Clardy Craven (deceased)
Social Worker and Civil Rights Leader

On average, 1,876 black babies are aborted every day in the United States. This incidence of abortion has resulted in a tremendous loss of life. It has been estimated that since 1973 Black women have had about 16 million abortions. Michael Novak had calculated "Since the number of current living Blacks (in the U.S.) is 36 million, the missing 16 million represents an enormous loss, for without abortion, America's Black community would now number 52 million persons. It would be 36 percent larger than it is. Abortion has swept through the Black community like a scythe, cutting down every fourth member."

In 2012, there were more black babies killed by abortion (31,328) in New York City than were born there (24,758), and the black children killed comprised 42.4% of the total number of abortions in the Big Apple, according to a report by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

Nothing in American claims more lives than abortion, with some 1.2 million children being killed each year.

And the African-American community bears a disproportionate number of these abortions. Although blacks make up 13% of the US population, black women have some 36% of the abortions. A Black baby is 5 times more likely to be killed in the womb than a White Baby.

Some 1,784 African-American children are killed by abortion each day.

Abortion in the African-American community has killed more than has AIDS, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and violent crime combined.

For every two African American women that get pregnant one will choose to abort.

Some 3,446 Blacks were lynched in the U.S. between 1882 and 1968, That number is surpassed in less than 3 days by abortion.

Every week more African-Americans are killed by abortion than all people killed in the Viet Nam war

Since 1973, abortion has wiped out over 25% of the African-American population.

Sanger featured in Life magazine, 1937, "Margaret Sanger celebrates Birth Control Victory."

The goal of eugenicists is "to prevent the multiplication of bad stocks," wrote Dr. Ernst Rudin in the April 1933 Birth Control Review (of which Sanger was editor). Another article exhorted Americans to "restrict the propagation of those physically, mentally and socially inadequate."

Not enough? How about all this historical demoncrat support for the black man. Is this also part of the self righteous indignation that the dems have when someone kills a habitual criminal.

Thee Racist History of the Democratic Party http://historynewsnetwork.org/article/3554

Wayne Perryman, an inner city minister in Seattle and the author of Unfounded Loyalty, in an editorial circulating on the Internet (Feb. 2004):

Most people are either a Democrat by design, or a Democrat by deception. That is either they were well aware the racist history of the Democrat Party and still chose to be Democrat, or they were deceived into thinking that the Democratic Party is a party that sincerely cared about Black people.

History reveals that every piece of racist legislation that was ever passed and every racist terrorist attack that was ever inflicted on African Americans, was initiated by the members of the Democratic Party. From the formation of the Democratic Party in 1792 to the Civil Rights movement of 1960's, Congressional records show the Democrat Party passed no specific laws to help Blacks, every law that they introduced into Congress was designed to hurt blacks in 1894 Repeal Act. The chronicles of history shows that during the past 160 years the Democratic Party legislated Jim Crows laws, Black Codes and a multitude of other laws at the state and federal level to deny African Americans their rights as citizens.

History reveals that the Republican Party was formed in 1854 to abolish slavery and challenge other racist legislative acts initiated by the Democratic Party.

Some called it the Civil War, others called it the War Between the States, but to the African Americans at that time, it was the War Between the Democrats and the Republicans over slavery. The Democrats gave their lives to expand it, Republican gave their lives to ban it.

During the Senate debates on the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871, it was revealed that members of the Democratic Party formed many terrorist organizations like the Ku Klux Klan to murder and intimidate African Americans voters. The Ku Klux Klan Act was a bill introduced by a Republican Congress to stop Klan Activities. Senate debates revealed that the Klan was the terrorist arm of the Democratic Party.

History reveals that Democrats lynched, burned, mutilated and murdered thousands of blacks and completely destroyed entire towns and communities occupied by middle class Blacks, including Rosewood, Florida, the Greenwood District in Tulsa Oklahoma, and Wilmington, North Carolina to name a few.

After the Civil War, Democrats murdered several hundred black elected officials (in the South) to regain control of the southern government. All of the elected officials up to 1935 were Republicans. As of 2004, the Democrat Party (the oldest political party in America) has never elected a black man to the United States Senate, the Republicans have elected three.

History reveals that it was Thaddeus Stevens, a Radical Republican that introduced legislation to give African Americans the so-called 40 acres and a mule and Democrats overwhelmingly voted against the bill. Today many white Democrats are opposed to paying African Americans trillions of dollars in Reparation Pay, money that should be paid by the Democratic Party.

History reveals that it was Abolitionists and Radical Republicans such as Henry L. Morehouse and General Oliver Howard that started many of the traditional Black colleges, while Democrats fought to keep them closed. Many of our traditional Black colleges are named after white Republicans.

Congressional records show it was Democrats that strongly opposed the passage of the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments. These three Amendments were introduced by Republicans to abolish slavery, give citizenship to all African Americans born in the United States and, give Blacks the right to vote.

Congressional records show that Democrats were opposed to passing the following laws that were introduced by Republicans to achieve civil rights for African Americans:

Civil Rights Act 1866
Reconstruction Act of 1867
Freedman Bureau Extension Act of 1866
Enforcement Act of 1870
Force Act of 1871
Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871
Civil Rights Act of 1875
Civil Rights Act of 1957
Civil Rights Act of 1960

And during the 60's many Democrats fought hard to defeat the

1964 Civil Rights Act
1965 Voting Rights Acts
1972 Equal Employment Opportunity Act

Court records shows that it was the Democrats that supported the Dred Scott Decision. The decision classified Blacks and property rather than people. It was also the racist Jim Crow practices initiated by Democrats that brought about the two landmark cases of Plessy v Ferguson and Brown v. The Board of Education.

At the turn of the century (1900), Southern Democrats continued to oppress African Americans by placing thousands in hard-core prison labor camps. According to most historians, the prison camps were far worst than slavery. The prisoners were required to work from 10-14 hours a day, six to seven days a week in temperatures that exceeded 100 degrees and in temperatures that fell well below zero. The camps provided free labor for building railroads, mining coal-mines and for draining snake and alligator invested swamps and rivers. Blacks were transported from one project to another in rolling cages similar to the ones used to transfer circus animals. One fourth of the prison populations were children ages 6 to 18. Young Cy Williams age 12, was sentenced to 20 years for stealing a horse that he was too small to ride. Eight-year old Will Evans was sentenced to 2 years of hard labor for taking some change from a store counter and six-year old Mary Gay was sentenced to 30 days for taking a hat. While authorities sent whites to jail for the same offenses, they sent blacks to the prison camps with much longer sentences. Thousands died from malaria, frost bites, heat strokes, shackle poisoning, others were buried alive in collapsing mines, or blown to pieces in tunnel explosions, and still others drowned in swamps or were beaten and shot to death. Every southern black citizen was a potential prisoner for any alleged small offense, including violating evening curfews. Through the prison camp system, southern owners of railroads, mines and farms had an unlimited source of free labor. The black prisoners played a major role the South's economic development. Bryan Stevenson of the Equal Justice Initiative, said, in his opinion, "the prison camps were a new form of slavery, but far more inhumane."

History reveals that it was three white persons that opposed the Democrat's racist practices who started the NAACP.

Dr. Martin Luther King, several Civil Rights leaders and many historians reported that during the first two years of his administration, President John F. Kennedy ignored Dr. King's request for Civil Rights. The chronicles of history reveal that it was only after television coverage of riots and several demonstrations did President Kennedy feel a need to introduce the 1963 Civil Rights Act. At that time, experts believe the nation was headed toward a major race war.

History reveals that it was Democratic Attorney General, Robert Kennedy that approved the secret wire taps on Dr, Martin Luther King Jr., and it was Democratic President Lyndon Johnson that referred to Dr. King as " that nigger preacher." Senator Byrd referred to Dr. King as a "trouble maker" who causes trouble and then runs like a "coward," when trouble breaks out.

Over the strong objections of racist Republican Senator Jessie Helms, Republican President Ronald Reagan, signed into law, a bill to make Dr. Martin Luther King's birthday a national holiday. Several Republican Senators convinced President Reagan this was the right thing to do.

Congressional records show after signing the 1972 Equal Employment Opportunity Act and issuing Executive Order 11478, Richard Nixon, a Republican, that started what we know as Affirmative Action.

On December 15, 1994, federal Judge David V. Kenyon issued a court order to the Clinton Administration in the Case of Fairchild v Robert Reich Secretary of Labor (#CV92-5765 Kn). The order demanded that Secretary Reich and the Clinton Administration force 100 west coast shipping to develop an Affirmative Action plan to stop discrimination against, African Americans, Hispanics, Female and Disabled Workers. Female employees were being sexually harrassed, Hispanic were being denied promotions and training, Disable Workers were being laid off, and African Americans were being force to work in an environment where they had job classification called " Nigger Jobs." Clinton left office six years later and never complied with the court order. The companies still do not have an Affirmative Action Plan.

President Clinton sent 20, 000 troops to protect the white citizens of Europe's Bosnia, but sent no troops to Africa's Rwanda to protect the black citizens there. Consequently over 800,000 Africans were massacre

During the 2003 Democratic Primary debates, the Rev. Al Sharpton, said the Democrat take the black vote for granted and treat African American like a mistress. They [Democrats} will take us to the dance, but they don't want to take us home to meet mama."


On December 3, 2002, President Clinton spoke to Democratic Leadership Council in New York regarding the future of the Democratic Party and how they could retake the White House. At no time did he address Civil Rights issues for blacks or doing things to improve the conditions of African Americans. His only reference to Civil Rights was Civil Rights for Gays. His only reference to improving communities was his recommendation to revisit the Marshall Plan to re-build communities in other countries. His entire speech was aired on C-Span.

After exclusively giving the Democrats their votes for the past 25 years, the average African American cannot point to one piece of civil rights legislation sponsored solely by the Democratic Party that was specifically designed to eradicate the unique problems that African Americans face today. Congressional records show that all previous legislation (since 1964) had strong bi-partisan support, even though some Democrats debated and voted against these laws.

After reviewing all of the evidence, many believe America would have never experienced racism to the degree that it has, had not the Democrats promoted it through:

Racist Legislation
Terrorist Organizations
Negative Media Communications
Bias Education
Relentless Intimidation
And Flawed Adjudication.

The racism established and promoted by members of the Democratic Party affected and infected the entire nation from 1856 with the Dred Scott decision, to the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education case. But they never offered or issued an apology.

Today both parties must remember their past. The Democrats must remember the terrible things they did to Blacks and apologize and the Republicans must remember the terrific things they did for Blacks and re-commit to complete the work that their predecessors started and died for.

You seem to be conveniently ignoring the fact that by far most welfare recipients are poor whites living in the south. It seems most political beliefs on the right are just flimsy covers for racism. It has always existed but has gotten worse since Obama became president.

I'm sorry for not understanding your comment before I responded the first time. It looked like you were accusing me of racism for pointing out where the black community began its slide into fractured families.

--------------

Even now, the left is making excuses for common thugs, covering them with lies and false narratives. They are treating black thugs differently than any other race of thugs. That is the very definition of racism, in case you didn't know it.

I simply pointed out a provable fact on a linear time-line. Yes, the "Great Society" also ruined many white lives...it ruined EVERY life that became a slave of the State. My point was that, if you really did care about the black community, you could easily see where it began with the crumbing of the family unit to become balkanized gangs in high-crime areas.

Since racists view every issue in terms of race, I'll address that concern. It has taken longer for the same effect in white communities because there were more opportunities for a good education and a good paying job, but that is no excuse for criminal behavior. It was mostly black people who had their homes and businesses destroyed in the race riots we've had in the last 20 years.

We've now had 50 years of the "Great Society" and guess what? Liberalism has failed.

Education is worse than ever, schools are dangerous places for children, entire neighborhoods are crack houses, and we have a higher degree of people in prison than any other nation. The divorce rate is over 50% and children born without both parents is now hovering in the 75% area in black communities (for those who think only in terms of race, it's over 50% in white communities last I checked). The liberal answer to the destruction of the family unit that brought on all this devastation? Destroy it further by legitimizing a "marriage" than can not produce a family naturally.

The "Great Society" of liberalism hasn't worked at all...but the only way to fix it would be to first admit that fact. Not a chance from the liberals, no, they are dug in and doubled-down. The evidence is in but completely ignored, or in most cases, blamed on a Republican as if this is strictly a political issue.

The results of that approach is that only keeps getting worse, with no end in sight.

On the conservative side, the resentment of people who work hard to earn a middle-class income only to be robbed by the Feds to support illegal immigrants and the failed "Great Society" is causing more racism (FROM BOTH SIDES) than it ever reduced.

riiight, because WELFARE is the only difference between now and 50 yrs ago. as if THAT's the only thing to point to for a rising crime rate, higher divorce rates, etc. :roll:

every one of those things you mention that are in decline for the black community.....guess what? you can say the same for the white community as well.

and you can say the same for middle class blacks, AND middle class whites who've never been on welfare.



I realize that statistics might require a bit of research for facts, but if you were interested in knowing the truth, you could trace the decline of the family (yes all races) to the Great Society....but it's effect in the black community has been absolutely devastating to black families.



And the destruction of the family unit is at the forefront of the Statists in power now.


you're only looking at one part of the equation. looking at stats is all well and good but a more accurate plan of analysis involves a little more....

statistics have to be looked at , INTERPRETED, and then an opinion is formed based on those stats.

simply looking at what's happened in the 50 yr interim and laying that all at LBJ's, and democrats doors is YOUR interpretation of how things have come to be where they are.

as long as your goal is looking for a scapegoat, and to lay everything off on the dems, then of course you'll blame LBJ for all of it. my point is....there are plenty of other determining factors as well.

I propose a law that makes it mandatory, that a minimum of 2 people cook cheese sandwiches. The possible salvation of lives and property will be huge. You were lucky, I also feel there should be back-round checks before any one is allowed to cook. I see all this food poisoning stuff going on.

Just for general knowledge... In my opinion... Driving a car with a flat tire will reduce the reliability of the vehicle and should only be adjusted by a govt certified technician with a full back-round check with a minimum of 2 years of schooling and able to prove they are qualified with certification.

Inconvenient as it may be, the facts are available for anyone who really wants to know them. True to fashion, and quite predictably, the response is ridicule instead.

But it is still a FACT that can be visibly observed on a linear timeline that the social and family life of the black community has been destroyed by the Great Society.

LBJ's Great Society (and his liberal supporters) treat black people as if they are unable to sustain themselves without being provided for like a farm animal. The arrogant racism of this approach has finally come home to roost and they are unwilling to admit even the slightest fault of this idiotic campaign to assuage their own sense of guilt.

------

Among the many painful ironies in the current racial turmoil is that communities scattered across the country were disrupted by riots and looting because of the demonstrable lie that Michael Brown was shot in the back by a white policeman in Missouri -- but there was not nearly as much turmoil created by the demonstrable fact that a fleeing black man was shot dead by a white policeman in South Carolina.

Totally ignored was the fact that a black policeman in Alabama fatally shot an unarmed white teenager, and was cleared of any charges, at about the same time that a white policeman was cleared of charges in the fatal shooting of Michael Brown.

In a world where the truth means so little, and headstrong preconceptions seem to be all that matter, what hope is there for rational words or rational behavior, much less mutual understanding across racial lines?

When the recorded fatal shooting of a fleeing man in South Carolina brought instant condemnation by whites and blacks alike, and by the most conservative as well as the most liberal commentators, that moment of mutual understanding was very fleeting, as if mutual understanding were something to be avoided, as a threat to a vision of "us against them" that was more popular.

That vision is nowhere more clearly expressed than in attempts to automatically depict whatever social problems exist in ghetto communities as being caused by the sins or negligence of whites, whether racism in general or a "legacy of slavery" in particular. Like most emotionally powerful visions, it is seldom, if ever, subjected to the test of evidence.

The "legacy of slavery" argument is not just an excuse for inexcusable behavior in the ghettos. In a larger sense, it is an evasion of responsibility for the disastrous consequences of the prevailing social vision of our times, and the political policies based on that vision, over the past half century.

Anyone who is serious about evidence need only compare black communities as they evolved in the first 100 years after slavery with black communities as they evolved in the first 50 years after the explosive growth of the welfare state, beginning in the 1960s.

You would be hard-pressed to find as many ghetto riots prior to the 1960s as we have seen just in the past year, much less in the 50 years since a wave of such riots swept across the country in 1965.

We are told that such riots are a result of black poverty and white racism. But in fact -- for those who still have some respect for facts -- black poverty was far worse, and white racism was far worse, prior to 1960. But violent crime within black ghettos was far less.

Murder rates among black males were going down -- repeat, DOWN -- during the much lamented 1950s, while it went up after the much celebrated 1960s, reaching levels more than double what they had been before. Most black children were raised in two-parent families prior to the 1960s. But today the great majority of black children are raised in one-parent families.

Such trends are not unique to blacks, nor even to the United States. The welfare state has led to remarkably similar trends among the white underclass in England over the same period. Just read "Life at the Bottom," by Theodore Dalrymple, a British physician who worked in a hospital in a white slum neighborhood.

You cannot take any people, of any color, and exempt them from the requirements of civilization -- including work, behavioral standards, personal responsibility and all the other basic things that the clever intelligentsia disdain -- without ruinous consequences to them and to society at large.


Non-judgmental subsidies of counterproductive lifestyles are treating people as if they were livestock, to be fed and tended by others in a welfare state -- and yet expecting them to develop as human beings have developed when facing the challenges of life themselves.

One key fact that keeps getting ignored is that the poverty rate among black married couples has been in single digits every year since 1994. Behavior matters and facts matter, more than the prevailing social visions or political empires built on those visions.

Dayne - the VN war didn't suck resources away from needed social program for blacks. It sucked money of working people's pockets and blood out of their families.

There is NO such thing as 'needed social programs' for people who live in a republic under a constitution that does not allow theft from one to benefit another.

But legal or not LBJ started the ball rolling with as ever, lots of help from the phony conservatives in the Republican party - that series of "needed social programs to help blacks" had destroyed black families and created a permanent underclass - while funneling 5 trillion bucks through the politician's fingers by 2008.

With Zero - the organized theft has kicked into high gear and both wings of the uni-party are snuffling and grunting happily at the trough.

That is what your 'needed social programs' buy you. Fat, disgusting and bloated hogs in nice suits - pretending to be leaders.
