So answer my question on what the Repubs have done when they had total control?

They should really listen to Bill Cosby.
You do know that welfare wasn't created just for black folks right? It was created as a result of the Great Depression.

That is common falsehood. All prop taxes meant for local schools (app 80%) go to the county to be distributed back to the schools. Schools in "rich" areas get no more money per student from the county than the schools in "poor" areas.

Money is not the problem, self accountability is.

Why Do Democrats Treat Blacks So Bad?

It's a loaded bullshet question..Why do parents spank their kids? Why does anybody go to Church? Why do idiots wear teabags? Why are republicans for more government? You shouldn't ask a question when you've already formulated your answer. It's foolish. OP was looking for an argument and he got it.

Its not a loaded question. And I for one would like an answer. Just look at New Orleans during Katrina. That is what democrat ideals do..keep everyone on welfare and your election victory is assured.

Capatalism in its current state has played a major role in keeping a certain sector of our population in poverty that is not based on race. Race is typically injected by people who are trying not to be perceived as racist but are. Katrina hit New Orleans and the face of poverty became the blacks who lived in the 9th ward who were left to die by our Republican President. If it would've hit Appallachia with the same non-reponse, would that have been a "Republican's treating whites poorly situation"? Playing race in this is simply an underhanded, poorly conceived racial dig by a racist OP.
