And among that 41%, we know that their level of education will on average be lower than those born in traditional two-parent homes. We also know that our prisons are largely comprised of people with lower education levels and from single parent homes. It's almost like someone has set the wheels in motion to create a permanent underclass.
The fact that "these communities" exist 50 years after the civil rights movement shows me that SOMEONE or some entity (democrat party) wants them there. These "communities" were not a part of MLK's vision.
And it's obviously not all just racial either. African Americans were just easy targets for the dems because they were mostly congregated together in one place and tremendously poor after years of discrimination and segregation. They have done a remarkable job of exploiting them while keeping them corralled, agitated and chasing red herrings (hands up, don't shoot never happened....there are studies that show police are actually less likely to use deadly force on African Americans).
Remember that Hillary was trying the same thing with the miners in Appalachia. That she would be there with government programs to help them get on their feet when their jobs were gone (much like the war on poverty was supposed to do). I bet they were already buying the buses they were going to use to shuttle these people back and forth to the polling places to get their purchased vote.
The playing field is about as level as it is ever going to get in America. Money is what buys you influence, justice and power in this country, and it is largely colorblind. Do you think the sons of Juan Williams or the daughters of Obama confront the same things people in poverty (both black and white) experience every day?
Beware of white people screaming racism and pointing fingers. Their intent may be exactly the opposite of what they say.
