From TNR's Timothy Noah's article, some highlights:
- The Republican party's small-government philosophy has limited federal interference with discriminatory practices at the state and local level, and with racial bigotry generally.
- The Republican majority on the Supreme Court will likely soon abolish affirmative action altogether.
- The Republican party's tax policies favor rich "job creators," who tend disproportionately to be white, and its opposition to the welfare state--initially to cash transfers, then to non-cash assistance like food stamps, and finally even to unemployment benefits--tends to harm lower-income people, who tend disproportionately to be black.
- The Republican party's criminal justice policies have put an appallingly high proportion of black men in jail, often for petty drug offenses.
- Republicans tend to favor the death penalty, which leads to execution of a disproportionate number of blacks.
Thats sad man.
ReplyDeleteYou are blaming the GOP for the results of 50 years of Democrat policies. You vote for poverty and dependence in every election and wonder why blacks arent doing better.
Blacks are suffering in Chicago, Detroit, Miami, and Philly. Inner city poverty and crime is disproportionately black.
Who runs those towns? Democrats.
Every thing you complain about is a problem in Democrat controlled areas.
Wake up man. You have fallen right into victim mentality Democrats depend on to get your vote.
Freedom is the answer.
Democrats never promise anything but more dependency.
Remember, the places in this country that blacks are suffering worst, have been run by Democrats for decades if not longer.
