Democrat Welfare Has Harmed Blacks

Reams of data have shown how the Johnson administration’s 1964 introduction of new welfare programs, many specifically designed to address black poverty, decimated marriage in the black community. While marriage rates have declined among all ethnicities, black families have been by far the hardest hit.  Today, nearly half of black men and women have never married by age forty—the highest percentage of any ethnic group by a full 19 points. Because of that, almost 70 percent of black children are born to single mothers, and nearly 40 percent of women who get abortions are black, even though African Americans are only 12 percent of the population.  Yet more than half of Americans who receive food assistance (SNAP), income supplements (TANF), and rental subsidies are black.

Rewarding Illegal Immigration?

If we incentivize illegal immigration by rewarding those who ignore our laws and fail to ensure that those to whom we grant citizenship understand and respect the founding ideals that made this nation great, the United States will soon look little different from the countries these immigrants are fleeing. We will no longer have anything good to share.

America’s Founding

Yes, we did produce a near perfect republic. But will they keep it? Or will they, in the enjoyment of plenty, lose the memory of freedom?

Diversity

Can you cite one speck of hard evidence of the benefits of “diversity” that we have heard gushed about for years? Evidence of its harm can be seen—written in blood—from Iraq to India, from Serbia to Sudan, from Fiji to the Philippines. It is scary how easily so many people can be brainwashed by sheer repetition of a word.

Apologizing for Slavery?

Among the most absurd apologies have been apologies for slavery by politicians. For one thing, slavery is not something you can apologize for, any more than you can apologize for murder. …

Slavery is too serious for an apology and somebody else being a slaveowner is not something for you to apologize for. When somebody who has never owned a slave apologizes for slavery to somebody who has never been a slave, then what began as mushy thinking has degenerated into theatrical absurdity—or, worse yet, politics.

Slavery has existed all over the planet for thousands of years, with black, white, yellow and other races being both slaves and enslavers. Does that mean that everybody ought to apologize to everybody else for what their ancestors did? Or are the only people who are supposed to feel guilty the ones who have money that others want to talk them out of?
