I mean, his son defended the Amistad mutineers. He was probably pretty progressive for his time.

Exactly. Crime rates and out-of-wedlock births were the same as other races.

The Great Society took over and it's been a shite show ever since.

Life for black people in the U.S. will improve DRAMATICALLY if they stop having kids with no father in the home.

Those handouts are part of the problem. Welfare was never meant to be a permanent source of income.

Them handouts are what created a lot of the problems we have with low income individuals in the USA.

The old fable "we pay poor people so they don't rob us" turned out to be fake news.

You know, people always say this here but it seems that she is representing the wishes of her constituents pretty well

This logic doesn't apply to hilariously gerrymandered districts like Lee's. She's doing exactly what her constituents want.

Aren't they getting enough already? Do we need to list the benefits they're getting? Why the hell don't they try to compete? The Vietnamese and Cambodians came over in the mid 70s and have blown right by the blacks in success.

The best thing she could do for black people is to stop representing them. She has done dick to actually make any of her constituents lives better.

African American is impossible to define without a DNA test. Then, practically no one is 100% Sub Saharan. At the end of the day, there are a ton of “whites” who would benefit from this and that would be funny as hell to watch. The country club would never be the same.

I would 100% back a bill where the US Govt pay reparations', with of course inflation and standard interest rates added in to any all slaves. Of course you can only collect if you were a slave back then and still alive. No inheritance on this one baws.
