It is horrible. So many Black lives are destroyed or wasted because of the prolonged family breakdown. The Blacks that see the light and struggle to assimilate in general American culture are mocked and berated by low ife Black leader dirt bags starting with Obama. This horror will continue until Obama and his Black racist ilk are defeated politically and the Black community realizes it is going nowhere at dangerous high speed.
My heart breaks when I envision the great and grand contributions of the famed,54th Black Regiment, Massachusetts or the famed, heroic Tuskegee Airmen to the WWII air defense activity and compare them to the image of “Obama’s” son, Black Gangsta,Trayvon Martin!!! Sad!!! For the freedom bell to ring for America’s Black folks, Obama must go down to massive defeat, come November, 2012. And...he will!!! Thank God Almighty!!!
If someone came by and offered me a thousand dollars a month to let my grass grow a foot high - I would be tempted. Then if another group came along and lectured me about high grass drawing snakes into the area - and possibly making it dangerous for small children I would consider that too. As would you. Both of us would likely cut our grass and 'do the right thing'. But the incentive would still be there.
That's what welfare did to the black family. If the payout had been higher - the same would have happened in larger numbers to white young people too. By the time teens were old enough to realize it was a trap, there were too many kids, too many snakes, grass too high - and everyone was dependent. Broken families - lost fathers - black and white - a horror. These were gifts from liberals who wanted to feel good about themselves and how magnanimous they were. They didn't consider the damage perverse incentives would inflict on black families or poor white families..
Liberals never took the time to look at the unintended consequences of their desire to feel good about themselves. You're right, JLAGRAYFOX about the famed,54th Black Regiment, Massachusetts and the famed, heroic Tuskegee Airmen to the WWII... They were fathers and husbands and heroes. Responsible members of a real community. Now we have Jesse - and Black Panthers - and criminals lite. A community that thinks every two bit gang banger is Nelson Mandela. I have no idea how this mess can be made better.
