Progressive Libeals Promise Everything for Blacks : Generations of Failure to Deliver

The black community can see that bright light of hope

coming from the new guy that says 'why not me, I can

help. Vote for me'

It really started back with democrats demanding blacks remain enslaved and vote for them or bad things will happen to them. The worst of this was the Clan that was the enforcement arm of the democrats. 

But bad as that was, and it was horrendous, the real and most complete and lasting destruction of the black community was the welfare system started by democrats and FDR. 

It virtually destroyed the black family and for all intents and purposes doomed the black community to vote for just survival, that is vote for more welfare, easy money and the destruction of the individual freedom to chose. This wasn't by accident, this was by design.

A voter base with no where else to turn. So no matter how concerned  the black community became about their condition, it fell on the deaf ears of their benefactors, progressive democrats. Promises made year after year and never fulfilled has now come full circle. The black community, or so it seems, has decided that maybe they will take a chance on the new guy in Washington.

But only time will tell if generations blacks that have depended on democrat promises will be able to shade that boot of enslavement on their collective necks and turn to the bright light of hope of ''take a chance on me. What the hell have you got to lose?''

How Liberals Have Given Blacks Little for Their Loyalty

Walter E. Williams / @WE_Williams / January 23, 2019

In 1976, Gerald Ford won 15 percent of the black vote. That’s the most of any recent Republican presidential candidate. In most elections, blacks give Democrats over 90 percent of their votes. It’s not unreasonable to ask what have blacks gained from such unquestioning loyalty to the Democratic Party.

After all, the absolute worst public safety conditions and other urban amenities for blacks are in cities that have been controlled by Democrats for decades. Let’s look at it.

What cities are the deadliest for blacks? The Trace, an independent nonprofit news organization, answers that question.

Using 2017 data from the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting program, The Trace listed the 20 major U.S. cities with the highest homicide rates—factoring in both the number of people murdered in cities and their populations. Chicago, with 589 murders in 2018—one murder every 15 hours–is often called the nation’s murder capital. But that’s dead wrong.

In 2017, St. Louis had the nation’s highest murder rate, at 66.1 homicides per 100,000 residents. Baltimore came in second, with 55.8 murders per 100,000 people. Detroit was third, with 39.8 murders per 100,000 people.

Other cities with high murder rates included New Orleans; Kansas City, Missouri; Cleveland; Memphis, Tennessee; and Newark, New Jersey.

With 24.1 murders per 100,000 residents, Chicago ranked ninth in the nation. It was followed by Cincinnati and Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C., was 17th.

Now here’s the kicker. Of the 20 most dangerous major cities, all but one had a Democratic mayor. In many of these cities, the Democratic Party has ruled for a half-century or more. Only Tulsa, Oklahoma, with 17.3 murders per 100,000 residents, had a Republican mayor.

Who knows what conclusion can be drawn from the finding that the most murderous cities have been controlled by Democrats—and often black Democrats?

I am not suggesting that Democratic control causes murder and mayhem. What I am saying is that murder, mayhem, and other violent crime are not reduced by the election of black or white Democrats to run our cities.

That means one cannot dismiss out of hand a question then-candidate Donald Trump asked black Americans in a 2016 campaign speech in Michigan: “What do you have to lose by trying something new like Trump? … What the hell do you have to lose?”

Violent crime is not the only problem for blacks in our major cities. Because of high crime, poor schools, and a less pleasant environment, cities are losing their economic base and their most productive people in droves.

When World War II ended, Washington, D.C.’s population was about 900,000; today it’s about 694,000.

In 1950, Baltimore’s population was almost 950,000; today it’s around 612,000.

Detroit’s 1950 population was close to 1.85 million; today it’s down to 673,000.

Camden, New Jersey’s 1950 population was nearly 125,000; today it has fallen to 75,000.

St. Louis’ 1950 population was more than 856,000; today it’s less than 309,000.

A similar story of population decline can be found in most of our formerly large and prosperous cities. In some cities, the population decline since 1950 is well over 50 percent. In addition to Detroit and St. Louis, those would include Cleveland and Pittsburgh.

During the 1960s and ’70s, academic liberals, civil rights advocates, and others blamed the exodus on racism—”white flight” to the suburbs to avoid blacks. However, since the ’70s, blacks have been fleeing some cities at higher rates than whites.

The five cities whose suburbs have the fastest-growing black populations are Miami, Dallas, Washington, Houston, and Atlanta. It turns out—and reasonably so—that blacks, like whites, want better and safer schools for their kids and don’t like to be mugged or have their property vandalized. And just like the case with white people, if they have the means, black people can’t wait to leave troubled cities.

Bobby Hesley—a Catholic speaker, writer, and conservative political commentator—writes, “Black people are finally starting to wake up and unplug themselves from the Liberal Matrix that has ruled their reality for over a half a century.”

I say good! It’s unwise to be a one-party people in a two-party system.
