I come from a mixed-race family. The black family was strong in the 1960s before the welfare state and most black Americans then were Christians. Today, there are more practicing Muslims among black Americans than practicing Christians. Why? Because Islam orders one to be violent in dozens of verses and that appeals to a person who is angry at everyone else. When black America abandoned God, it shouldn't surprise that things went downhill fast. In two generations most abandoned Jesus Christ and without that guidance from above, they ended up in trouble. The welfare state allowed women to abandon their husbands and in a couple of generations we had kids who had never known any sort of authority and thus had no self-discipline. They were set up to fail. But still, despite what could be considered a new form of slavery to the Democrats for in welfare and tens of thousands of programs to buy their votes, they still vote Democrat. The very people who for decades oppressed them— from Southern Slavery to the Redshirts to the longest filibuster in Senate history against the 1964 Civil Rights Act— and they still not only vote for them, they make excuses for them when they lie, cheat, steal, etc. It's like a codependency. Nothing is every their fault or their party's fault, and so they keep going further and further into the hole.
That comment reminds me of the “The Message to Black Christians” by the current Republican nominee for Virginia Lieutenant Governor, E.W. Jackson. Here’s his message (video)...
