My brother and I had discussed this very thing the other night, about how black culture in the US in concert with socialistic programs has created the common conditions that those same people complain about. He was telling me about a elderly customer, a black man, who went through school entirely before everything was desegregated etc, and this guy did very well, and so did his classmates. The families were together, the teachers all cared tremendously, and it was "beaten" into them (probably literally in some cases) that no one was going to give them anything that they had to go out and work harder or harder. And these guys did and were all very successful.
Enter Sanders, Sharpton, etc/et al, and now we have Gangster dindu culture and government officials complaining about government housing.
