I have never understood how a group of individuals can NOT see that they are being systematically played for patsies.
They are told to vote for those that have their interests at heart, only to never understand why their lot in life never improves.
The individual needs to examine carefully, the situation as it is. He or she may find they are the root cause of their own misery.
Yep. They keep voting for their own oppression.
It's self-destructive. The Democrats have successfully implemented a racially-targeted and tragic waste of human potential for the specific purpose of keeping a government-dependent voter base. Even though everyone knows this... Blacks keep voting for that to be done to them. SMH
Everyone is taking note of the facts...Look at what has changed for poorer folks over the years from the same democratic party..Nothing,absolutely nothing...They tell everyone what their going to do for them and then do nothing. It's time for a change,something has to change and in my book. I'm voting a straight republican ticket this year.. It's about time to walk a new path. Maybe things will change, maybe not but more of the same is unacceptable.
I agree. It's unacceptable. Even uglier, it's very clear from an educational and therefore socioeconomic perspective that Blacks and Hispanics are being specifically targeted by Democrats to remain the Dem-voting poor underclass. Racism at its worst.
Just because these men in the video are black doesn't mean that what they say is the gospel with regards to knowing WHY their cities are in bad shape.
It's not liberal policies specifically that hurt these cities or these people...it's corrupt politicians, a culture of violence, and broken homes. Liberal policies help these people put food on the table. Obviously not all people that live in the inner-city needs this assistance...maybe these men don't. However there are A LOT of people that do. These Liberal policies help put a roof over a lot of peoples heads. Liberal policies help them get into colleges to break the cycle of poverty. Conservative politicians have basically ignored the inner cities for decades. I feel that I personally have a lot in common with poor, inner-cities, blacks because I grew up in a VERY impoverished area in central Appalachia that is likewise ignored. The first house that I lived in as a chlid (born in 1986) didn't have indoor plumbing. We didn't have indoor plumbing until we moved into town in 1990. I'm the first member of my family that went to college. I'm the first member of my family that didn't go straight to the coal mines. I'm the first member of my family that doesn't have a history with drug abuse. ALL of that was helped by policies advocated by LIBERALS that helped my mother put a roof over our heads, put food on the table, and community grants that helped her go to night school to become an RN.
So...these men can run their mouth about how they dislike the policies advocated by liberals, but I can run mine too. The policies advocated by our representatives helped my region. It all goes back to the character of the politician. If you have a corrupt representative....you can expect bad results.

That last statement is pure BS. Look at the extreme differences in 12th grade public school students' basic proficiency percentages by race in my prior post: //www.city-data.com/forum/37062343-post31.html
Liberals' insistence on keeping Blacks disproportionately undereducated, and therefore poor, is what causes the need for public assistance for food and housing, your first two examples. How do you not get that?

The policies advocated by liberals have assisted African Americans in gaining college admission. Why do you think you guys complain so much about Affirmative Action? On top of that the more INDIRECT assistance is what really helps. What do you think is the most integral part of a student's upbringing? I'll answer it for you......STABILITY AT HOME. Conservatives have essentially advocated cutting off the only lifeline a lot of these people have. Without stability at home....the results would be even lower than they already are.
How do liberals "Insist" on keeping blacks disproportionately poor and undereducated? Is this a school vouchers debate? If so, it is a bogus debate. I'm going to assume that you're going to try to argue that private-schools have better results. They also have the ability to select whomever they'd like. Public schools MUST take all children regardless of disability or background which skews their results. Vouchers will take money away from already under-funded public schools. Teachers in my hometown high-school had to use their own money to buy supplies. Mismanagement at the state DOE level isn't tantamount to "liberals wanting to keep blacks poor." On top of that...the majority of the inner-cities managed by Democratic mayors are housed in states with Conservative governors that place education near the bottom when it comes to priorities.
We should also look at the states with the BEST/WORSE education systems. Guess what states those are? I'll give you a hint.....They're mostly liberal.
1. Massachusetts
2. Maryland
3. New Jersey (despite it being a liberal state...I'll call it red because of Christie).
4. New Hampshire
5. Vermont
6. Minnesota
7. Florida
8. Pennsylvania
9. Washington
10. Colorado
As you see....LIBERAL states ran by LIBERAL governors have shown the highest success rates in educating students.
The WORST state are overwhelmingly managed by the GOP.
1. Mississippi
2. Louisiana
3. New Mexico
4. West Virginia
5. Alabama
6. Alaska
7. South Carolina
8. South Dakota
9. Michigan
10. Oklahoma
really? how so?
Conservatives are not creating social programs that keep black people dependent on government for the rest of their lives.

For starters equating the parties as equal is a false equivalency.
Second, the Democratic Party post 1964 is not the cause of the Black Community's problems. The problems are structural based off residual effects from slavery, Jim Crow, and Housing Discrimination, made worse by 30 years of Reaganomics.
Underlined are pre-1964 issues.
Thank Democrats for institutional racism.
