I think this is the right time for more states rights based government. Federal government is way too big for its britches. I'm convinced the nabe where I live would be an absolute ghetto where it not for the old Southern black grannies and grandpas caring for unwanted babies,etc. I'd say when the white people moved out and they were racial steering the poor blacks here (Long Island was probably more segregated than some parts of the old South!), it could have been worse.
You'll never see a democrat talk about abortion or gay rights to a black audience EVER.
