What has the Democratic Party's "help" over the last 40 years achieved for black Americans? The Democratic Party's line is that black Americans need their "help" to get by in a racist world. Here's an alternate theory: Buying into the Democratic Party's philosophy and accepting "help" has been one of the biggest reasons that black Americans lag behind white Americans. Black males are 6 times as likely to be in prison as white males and black Americans make up 49% of the homicide victims in America. 71.6% of all black Americans are born out of wedlock and black Americans are almost twice as likely to drop out of high school as white Americans, both of which help explain why the black poverty rate is almost 2 1/2 times the white poverty rate.

The author is absolutely correct the above problems are all linked directly to Jonson’s war on poverty.

Johnson’s war on poverty required that those women receiving ADC not have a father living in the home.

You get more of what you pay for. So what do expect when you pay for fatherless households? More fatherless households.

Fatherless household are a direct cause of all of the other problems. And the length and breadth of these problems increase with each succeeding generation.

The real problem with getting Blacks out of this crippling cycle is human nature.

People stay where they are comfortable. It is human nature. Where are people comfortable? Generally where they grew up.

So here we are about 4 generations in to the War On Poverty and every day another batche of kids are born in to the ADC program and another batch of young girls graduate from being a child of the ADC program to being a Female Head of House Hold receiving ADC benefits for her fatherless child. Female Head of House Hold will also be recruited to be a loyal Democrat voter so that can vote her self interest.

It is a hard nut to crack. How do we break in to the comfort zone of this demographic? How do we convince these people that it is in their self interest to wean themselves from the government teat get off the dole and work for their own self interest when their family has lived this way for generations?

Ultimately it is easier for their own community to convince them that they need to change. Hearing these words from an outsider is less convincing. Leaders in their own community will have to convince them that there is a way out and that life is better in the free world.
