The welfare state broke up the black family. (violent crime, economic, percentage)

[Roaddog]

The Black broke up their families, values are not handed out by the government.

A huge number of Hispanics have started businesses the last 20 years that may have been started by Blacks years ago.

I'm around construction sites weekly. You hardly ever see a black person (and very few whites).

If you wanna know what messed up the black family, why not ask actual black people? Is that so hard?

Of course, some of you would have to KNOW black people in the first place.

So nevermind! SMH

The reason illegals are doing the jobs "Americans just won't do" is because many Americans, including blacks, are subsidized by Uncle Sam to sit around and do nothing.

I don't know anyone who lived during the Roman Empire, but I could write a pretty strong paper telling you many reasons which led to their fall and ultimate demise. Many of which would have been flat out denied by the Romans if I were to somehow be able to time travel and reason with them about it.

I don't know why this should be any different.

To get rid of the welfare society you have to provide an alternative. For many here complaining about the welfare society you will not support the very things we must do to end it. (yes I am generalizing here which I do not like to do).

We have to quit sending thousands and thousands of jobs overseas. There has to be jobs.

There are many who want a decent job but they simply are not available.

We have to stop the welfare programs to those who already have theirs first.

And yes we have to stop the steady stream of people, documented and undocumented that take so many jobs.

I bet if you control for the baby daddy's income, those lines would be closer together. Women do not marry men who cannot earn enough to adequately support a family.

And no the Great Society did not cause high out of wedlock birthrates. It's not a black problem, it's a poverty problem.

1. There appears to be a lot of "obsession" about black this and black that--interesting how the subject of responsibility is the only one that irks you.

2. Illegitimacy is the surest route to poverty.
