Democrats’ Policies: Help the Poor and Minorities, or Just Make Them More Dependent On the Government?
by Jack Hellner American Thinker
After a purported 404 years of racism in the United States (The 1619 Project), the median net worth of whites is estimated to be around $188,000, while the median net worth of blacks is around $24,000. Leftists propose giving blacks millions to make up the discrepancy.
Maybe blacks would have done better if Democrats didn’t have anti-poverty programs like the Great Society that encouraged the break-up of the family and relegated generations to continued poverty. Single parenthood is the greatest indicator of who will end up in poverty.
Maybe blacks would be richer if Democrats, including Obama and Biden, hadn’t continually blocked the poor and minorities from getting opportunities to go to better schools.
