Why can’t politicians bring a positive message to Blacks about striving to be all they can be in a society committed to equal opportunity as a result of the country’s founding principles and their fulfilment through the struggles of the past, i.e., Civil War, Civil Rights movement, etc.?
An excellent question and, of course, we both know the answer; if actual positive economic progress were made in the black communities they would flee the ghettos and move their families to where it's prosperous and SAFE.
Unfortunately for democrats these folks would also start voting Republican in order to better their lives.
This is something the democrats can't allow to happen, so they speak down to them with empty promises and false platitudes.
Let's hope these folks wake-up!
