You make a fair point, Jim. But I still think the plantation analogy is a good one.
Yes, there are advantages for blacks when the Democrats are in power. But handouts are only short-term solutions. Handouts don’t build anything long-term.
Trump (but not the GOPe) wanted to change all that. Trump wanted to bring industry back to America. That would have meant thousands of good jobs in the inner cities.
To apply an old saying:
Democrats want to give black folks a fish.
Trump wants to teach black folks how to fish.
It is a real tragedy that most blacks cannot see this.
African-Americans carry deep within them the psychological scars of slavery/Jim Crow. These scars are passed on through the generations.
Democrats control all the levers of society which enable them to tap into and enflame this internal terror and lack of trust.
