LBJ’s keep-them-on-that-plantation programs may have been available for everyone when I was a teen-but by the time idealistic little me had a degree in social work and a job at MHMR in 1973, they were not just given to those with a certain income-your ethnicity and race was a huge factor-caseworkers like me were directed to give bennies to Black single moms first, period.
After them came Hispanic/Latino single mothers, and Anglo moms were at the end of the line. We were also told to especially encourage the Black women to blow off working and take the welfare payments-not so much Latinos or Anglos-they were encouraged to go to work and even offered training at one of the local vocational schools.

Check out the crime stats in African nations. Can we blame that on a white man? Please tell me we can.
So, I’ll ask you; if the crime stats and presumably all other stats indicating pathology in the black community cannot be blamed on blacks, are you saying that all races are perfectly equal in all things at all times? What, exactly, is your point.
