Yeah, congressional white guys put the proposed 13th-15th Amendments out for ratification.
White men across the states ratified them.
Tim Scott speaks from personal experience. He was raised in SC by a divorced black mother who worked long hours to support her family.
Obama was raised by his white-leftist mother and grandparents. His grandmother was VP of a bank. He went to a private school in Hawaii.
Like many other leftists, Obama grew up with privilege. He looks down on other people as helpless.
Racism doesn’t cause poverty. It’s bad. It exists. But it does not cause poverty in this day and age. Poverty is bad and exists, but racism is not the cause of it. Jim Crow is dead and gone. Affirmative action has been around for decades. Red-lining is now illegal. There isn’t even a correlation between poverty and racism anymore. There are poor whites and poor blacks. The welfare state has a lot to answer for the poverty of both, including without limitation absent fathers, dependency, dysfunctional mothers, and also failed schools. But enough already with this antiquated paradigm.
Get rid of the federal welfare state, since it was the cause of (or at least exacerbated) Black poverty by declaring war on Black fathers and the Black Nuclear Family. Great Society has probably been the single greatest failure of a program(s) in the history of the nation.
