It’s not that they didn’t realize what the effect was going to be, it’s that they didn’t care about anything but votes and retaining power for decades to come.

Sad that the same people who have been harmed so deeply by these policies are the same ones whose schools have for generations failed them to the point that they no longer realize or care how they became re-enslaved.

They did it ADVERTENTLY, NOT inadvertently.

Inadvertently? Surely, you can’t be series.

My aunt, who had been in the state legislature and was very left-wing, had a black maid (and companion) who told my aunt long before LBJ that “aid for unwed mothers” was destroying the institution of marriage in her community. An thoughtful Democrat, Pat Moynihan, saw this.

This article is crap. First he regurgitates well-worn history, then he trashes Trump and gets his programs entirely wrong, including the stats he quoted. Trump did more for black Americans than any other president since Lincoln by bringing jobs and enterprise zones to empower (chiefly) black men, who voted 30% for Trump. It was a major step forward.

The article also doesn’t point out that the rise of abortion and the Pill occurred at the same time as the Great Society, destroying the culture of family of everyone, with blacks hardest hit.

Hear hear. Conservatives want a nation of hunters. Liberals want to chase away all the game and offer one fiercely guarded teat.
