Also in poorer neighborhoods the tax base is lower, so schools and so forth are of lower quality...so without education how can the people succeed...it's a death spiral.
What about in Washington DC where they spend more per child on education than any other area? What is the reason those kids are failing?
No. These folks do not have the intellectual capacity or ability to graduate from high school in numbers that would exceed much more than 50%. Money will not solve this problem.
Blacks have been voting for Democrats at high percentages (up to 90%) for at the least the last 40 years, but they have seen little improvement in their communities ( in some cases total deterioration) . In cities like Oakland, CA for example, (run by democrats) you have some of the highest high school dropout rates and crime rates in the country.
My question is, do Democrats actually care about the demographic that consistently votes for them?
Are they doing this on purpose? Because it really seems so. To go 40 years voting for a party and have little to show for it would probably make me question my voting patterns.

When the Democrats created the Great Society in the 1960's they destroyed the effort begun my so many educated blacks to elevate themselves into upper and middle class society. Instead we gave them a welfare system to which they could depend on and not themselves. The democrats keep the black community where they are so they will always have a voting block when they need it. I hope one day they will wake up and see it for what it really is. They should really listen to Bill Cosby.

Blacks may vote for Democrats over Repubs in large numbers but the Demos do not always win. Tell us all how much things inproved under 6 years of total Repub control, we would love to hear about all the major changes.

It is not the responsibility of government to force is citizens to get off their butts and make their way in life. It’s a lesson the democrats simply can't seem to learn.

It wasn't bad enough that you failed up the Africa thread, now you proudly tote around your intellectual slothfulness in yet another!
The dems have knowingly and without result posed as protectors and defenders of black-Americans. While trading lip service for votes their policys actually roadblock black progress (school choice etc). They have blacks just where they want them. Taking their votes while keeping
them in their place. Historically the democrat has been the enemy of
black progress. Nothing has changed.
