A thought-provoking piece written by a black man stating the obvious for the conservative and the shocking and outlandish to the Liberal. Giving someone welfare makes them dependent? I had no idea!
"....It's time we admitted that three decades of destitution programs, welfare bailouts and affirmative action have hobbled - not helped- America's black underclass. Driving through New York's murky neighborhoods, I thought long and hard about what causes a man to foul his own nest. What encourages him to deface the neighborhood where he lives? What motivates him to throw garbage from his window, or urinate in the elevator in which his children must ride?"
Entire two-page piece.
