The same black man with a different name has existed for thirty years to no effect. Clarence Thomas, Herman Cain, and so on.
It’s way to easy to be lazy AND hate AND be taken care of by those you hate.
Where’s the catalyst for change?
The imminent threat of loss of housing, food and money. Phase all those things out over five years and offer job training. After that, you’re on your own.

The Congressional Black Caucus said that poverty and civil unrest are tied.

There are poor Asians, Hispanics and whites but we don't see them burning down cities and making complete fools of themselves.

We should also talk about how urban poverty, crime, etc. are nothing new.

And we should talk about President Johnson and the War On Poverty. Government attempts to deal with all of the problems in the inner city are nothing new.

To suggest that there are problems in Baltimore today, because after 50 years , we just haven’t spent quite enough money on government programs strains believability. We should go on offense on this, and talk about the Democrat war on poverty, and assess its goals, its successes, it failures, and its overall costs. Let’s have that debate, if the liberals are up for it. We can’t let them get away with one liners such as how the GOP is cutting government programs as the singular reason for a complex pathology of problems in our cities.
