Some of my people who have been staunch supporters of the Democrats for over 30 years, need to open their eyes to the fact that their support has done nothing for the Black Community. Some folks are still in the same boat because they have been accepting handouts too long. We have got to get behind the party that has the faith in us that we have our ability to be self- sufficient. And it is not the Democrats. The Democrats don't believe in we Black people.
I always cringe when I hear this. I don't really know what that means. I know there is a Chinese community in San Francisco, and I know some "poor communities" (redneck towns in the Hill Country), but I don't see a whole lot of "black community," especially in the images of looting.
Community implies neighbors and knowing them and caring for them. Community does not mean "your property is now communal because nobody is looking!"
In my case, (my statistically insignificant sample of me!) the only black people I know and hang out with are in my socio-economic level (or above me.) And they don't "cavort" with any black community that they ever speak of any more than I hang out with german-americans because they have blue eyes and bad tempers like me.
Non of this really means anything, just making an observation that I made once when I was pummeled by some NoCal libs when I said "the only black people I know in Texas are richer than me." They responded that they knew black people and that they volunteered many hours driving to Oakland to work in "the black community" and that I as an angry white man knew nothing about "the black community."
I thought that was ironic, and it still makes me think "the black community" is a ridiculous (if not belittling) concept.
It is precisely this "support" which has, over the years; extracted the father from the family unit, and worst of all, deprived recipients of their dignity and their faith in their own abilities.
