Blacks have been under the the false belief that Democrats are the ones that have "opened" opportunities for them. All they did was enslave them in a different vein. This time merely loyal voters that they can count on to get them elected. Some indeed are starting to realize what they have really done for them, throw them scraps and crumbs. That they are still always the hardest hit when the economy goes south, and the last to recover (somewhat) when it rebounds. In fact a lot of them are keenly aware that Barack has done nothing for them.
They realize that living on the plantation, know as the Democrat Party, has been the single biggest contributor for the demise of the black family. That taking responsibility away from black men to raise their children, has left millions of them with no guiding male role model to emulate. Crime became their only means of survival, and their crime against their own people more prevalent. Then once they are caught and convicted of their crimes, blacks are being incarcerated at much higher levels.
This again was the result of the Democrat Party, because they rewarded the single black mother with more government assistance. So the way for single mothers to get more money was to have more babies. So many that children are not really that important to them, so now children have no mothers or fathers to look to as role models.
It's a cruel system - all the more so considering the black family made it intact through slavery and Jim Crow. Quite an accomplishment... Black marriage rates in the 40's were as high or higher than white rates. Thanks for your comment - interesting.
