I spent last weekend in Detroit. A great American city with a rich heritage, this place appears to be sinking to rock bottom.
As you drive along toward the metro area, you see boarded up storefronts, dead shells of fast food joints, dilapidated buildings, and poor black People hanging out on the streets selling drugs and sex.
The miserable and despicable lifestyle of these People is proudly sponsored in full by the United States government.
Uncle Sam loves the welfare system because it is simply a slave system. But, on paper, it looks much better to whites, so it receives support.
When Uncle Sam saw what black People could do when they organized during the civil rights movement, he felt threatened, and reacted with a diabolical reverse-psychology plan.
The administrations of John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson of the 1960s blew up the welfare system that came from the New Deal, and welfare has been going haywire ever since.
The U.S. Government saw welfare as a perfect opportunity to sedate poor black People and keep them where it wants them - in a state of slavery. Sadly, this program was well-received by black People, as most sought to gather some sort of reparations, and perhaps rightfully so.
Here's my question:

Here's my question:
What did the civil rights movement do for poor black People, if 50 years later, they are still poor? Any dignity restored through that movement was lost with the acceptance of welfare.
Uncle Sam knows it is too hard for uneducated poor People to get out of a system that keeps them afloat in an otherwise no-win situation.
For example, if you are poor, you probably don't own a car. Therefore, you go to the corner store to buy goods. But, small convenient stores sell products at more than triple the price of regular grocery store goods. This attempts to remove a poor person's ability to save money, thus keeping them impoverished.
Here's another one: When poor People buy cheap food at McDonald's, they are sure to end up with diabetes and other health problems. That's just perfect, because now they'll be dependent on a medicaid card, and disability.
You know, when you see old pictures of black People in the 1940s and 50s, you see brothers standing outside black-owned businesses in Harlem, in clean streets, with self-respect, fine cars, nice clothes. They were on their way, until Uncle Sam intervened, doling out free money.
Well, it's NOT free money.
First of all, the government doesn't HAVE any money. It has to rob the People to support welfare, making us ALL a lot poorer.
Second of all, it's NOT free to the People on welfare. It costs them their freedom. It costs them their right to pursue happiness, thus, costing them their liberty, their life.
The government does everything it can to keep poor People poor. And they do so under the guise of helping poor People out of their situations, under the guise of welfare.
The day we refuse all offers from the Government is the only day we truly actualize our own welfare.
