OZ would be likely to apply to predominately black urban centers because the vast majority of our poorest, most rundown, most horrible areas in this nation “happen” to be black.
Can you point me to many “white suburban zones” that have the same concentration of economic and social pathologies as the typical poor urban center, which happens to be black?
You seem to be bewailing the fact that Democrat plantation politics have enslaved mostly blacks, but whites, not so much.
I’ve posted to others subsequently, so won’t repeat here, but will ask you to read through the rest of the thread if you’re interested. I’d be glad to respond to your comments. I’ve explained that OZ of course would benefit blacks because blacks are the worst off (thanks, Democrat plantation owners). But ANY locale can apply to be an OZ and, if it meets the criteria, be designated as such.
I just don’t see making Mr. Cain’s proposals into a racist act when, clearly, objectively, if for whatever reason you want to tailor a tax policy to address poverty in America, there is no way to do that without it disproportionately affecting black Americans, because black Americans are the ones who have been disproportionately ensared by Democrat-created generational poverty.
Mr. Cain is not a racist. Neither is his tax plan.
” I just don’t see making Mr. Cain’s proposals into a racist ....”
Cain said his Enterprise Zone plan , with rates possibly as low as 333 ,
was specifically to help
“ Black Americans “ and
“ African Americans “ living in inner cities.

He never said anything bout helping poor white Americans living in Appalachia.
Or Native Americans living in extreme poverty
on the reservations.
Jonathan Karl reported last Monday on World News
that Cain
was going to use a lower tax rate for inner city blacks
as a way to get votes.
” In another unconventional move for a Republican,
Cain’s aides tell me he’s going to make a direct appeal
for African American votes,
unveiling a plan later
this week to help inner city poor.
A plan , I am told , that will include tax rates even lower
than 9 9 9. “
More white Americans live in poverty in rural areas than blacks do in the inner cities.

Aid to those living in poverty should be color blind.
