Forced busing to end segregation in schools destroyed those neighborhoods, too. It disconnected families from one of the main social pillars of the community, and with their kids bused 20 miles away to a school they didn’t know, those families didn’t connect with the new school either. Meanwhile, the already cash-strapped inner city school had to foot the bill for the education and transportation of their kids elsewhere. So the first thing they cut was the extra-curricular programs that bind families to the community and give the kids something positive to do.
Combine that with the acid of single-mother welfare moms, and you wipe out a whole community. Good job, democrats. You made the blacks more dependent than when they were slaves. At least when they were slaves they longed to be free. Now they don’t know what freedom is.
Credit LBJ, but he had lots of help!
