At the end of the Civil War, when farmers and their families began moving into the cities to work in the big factories that were sprouting up all across America, we had to decide: Do we do nothing and allow captains of industry and robber barons to run roughshod over the economy and workers by competing to see who can pay the lowest wages at the worst working conditions? Or do we try to make the system work by setting up basic rules for the market, instituting the first public schools, busting up monopolies, letting workers organize into unions? We chose to act, and we rose together.
Uh, now we didn't, BO. The dems were still killing blacks. But then your dems paid reparations in the form of welfare and kept the blacks down. Suppressed them. Oppressed them. Tell the truth, BO.

Oh, but what would you know about that, BO. You were raised by white folk.
