They don’t include a link to the poll. I’m guessing that the poll actually had 4 or 5 responses: Favorable, slightly favorable, slightly unfavorable, unfavorable. Something like that. Rasmussen polls favorability in that manner...I’d have to go over there to see exactly how he does it, but that’s in the ballpark.
I agree, however, that blacks in this country are not treated equally. I think we seriously injure any community by making government handouts available to those who have the capacity to work for their own living and establish their own independence.
The very best thing that could be done for the any race in America is to establish strict workfare for the unemployed and even for most of the disabled. We can complain about old programs like the CCC, but they did a lot of infra-structure work on smaller roads and bridges that was going undone.

Agree completely! The problem is the inevitable problem of those who would compare it to slavery.
Having know people that worked in the CCC, it seems that it gave them a way to accept government assistance with dignity. That’s something that was important to that generation, but doesn’t seem to be so today.
Pride in “scamming the system” seems to have replaced that.
