Alas, Baltimore
American Thinker ^ | Greg Richards

Posted on 05/01/2015 8:05:57 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

If the government provides the livelihood in the welfare community, and here we are talking about the black part of that community, it displaces the breadwinner; even more it displaces the role of the breadwinner. It takes away the role of men in the family and thus in the community.

Taking away someone’s role, someone’s mission, in life is the ugliest thing you can do to that person, to those people. You make that person, those people unnecessary. They are not needed. That is what the Democratic Party did to men in the black community. The black family survived 250 years of slavery and 100 years of segregation. But it was destroyed by 50 years of liberalism, of Democratic Party policies.

Where does President Obama stand in this? Obama basically has no relationship with the black experience in America. That is why he thinks Al Sharpton is an authoritative voice. Obama is a third world socialist. By picking Sharpton as his advisor on race, he is associating himself and his policies with Welfare America, not Enterprise America.

Sharpton does not represent, he doesn’t even really know about, Enterprise America – making and selling; saving and investing; getting and spending; studying and learning. What are those to him? He creates chaos out of untruths and gets paid for the publicity. That is what Obama has embraced as “race relations.” No good is ever going to come of it. The more successful it is, the more of a dead end it is.

Prior to 1965, about 25% of blacks were born out of wedlock. After 50 years of LBJ’s “Great Societys it’s now about 72%.

Prior to 1965, about 25% of blacks were born out of wedlock. After 50 years of LBJ’s “Great Societys it’s now about 72%.

And prior to 1965, many of those born out of wedlock had parents who married soon after their birth and raised them. I'm not sure where to find statistics, but I've read one of the notable black conservatives (I forget whether it was Sowell or Williams) who documented the norm for black families in the "Jim Crow era" was an out of wedlock birth, marriage, and subsequent children born to the married couple. Now black mothers in poor neighborhoods throw the fathers out (and not even just those who do this to get SNAP benefits, my wife has a student in the doctoral program where she teaches who was gainfully employed before entering the program and is now on a fellowship stipend, who has a child and "Don't want no man around.")

And the President is a democrat...

Can we assume the City State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby is a democrat?

The ‘Queen of Sheba’ mayor is a democrat.

The whole Baltimore city council is democrat.

The police are democrats...

The police Union’s run by democrats.

Al Sharpton’s democrat.

The Baltimore Sun’s a democrat newspaper...

The DOJ investigating this is run by democrats.

The dead criminal was a democrat.

Rioters and looters in Baltimore are democrats...

Last time Baltimore had a Republican mayor was 1967...

We don’t have a dog in this fight.

I say we go after the Mayor, like they did Giuliani after Amadou Diallo.

2 of the most true quotes from the article:

“The black family survived 250 years of slavery and 100 years of segregation. But it was destroyed by 50 years of liberalism”

“Are there enough police in Baltimore? Who knows? What we do know is that there are not enough fathers. Democratic policy for the inner cities means families without fathers, boys without men to show them how to grow up.”

Amen! You can’t keep people as if they were pets, and expect them to maintain their dignity. When kids see that everything they have comes from somebody other than their parents, they have to look at the parent(s) and ask what exactly their purpose is.

Even well-meaning charities that provide Christmas gifts to kids should try to make it look like the parents provided the gifts.

LBJ’s $25 Trillion on The Great Welfare Socialism has not only been a massive failure economically but culturally too by destroying the inner city father and replacing with a slave dependency relationship on Leftwing Big Government.

Not only that - it subsidizes people that can’t afford to take care of themselves (they are on the dole) to have kids that they obviously cannot afford to take care of. And those kids are most likely going to be in the same boat - so the problem grows exponentially with each generation.

And the liberals consider this to be “compassionate”

Maybe - or it could be intentional. It sure does grow their voter base, even if it will eventually bankrupt the country.

Baltimore is working just the way the “progressive” Dhimmicrap politicians want it to.
