The situation is far more complex than noted here. The concept of "free stuff" is not shared by a large portion of black America.
A major measure of what is involved is tied to an emotional game that is played by the left, and the right's refusal to counter the lies told by the left within the black community.
Historically, all knowledge, all wisdom, all education, all truth in the black community was given from the pulpit. We have been brought up to believe our pastors, for they are annointed by God to bring us truth.
With that knowledge, charlatans like Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan and Al Sharpton, and others take advantage of black America, and use their percieved positions to "tell" the "true" story of what the "eeeeevil" Republicans are doing.
As long as we continue to allow the Jackson-Sharpton cabal to tell their version of our truths unchallenged (and assisted by the mainstream media), we continue to remain cast as "the bad guys" among black America.
I'm admittedly simplifying this quite a bit, but that, ultimately, is the bottom line.
