Black In
America- A CNN Investigation-Airing July 23rd &24th The
Black Man, Wednesday, July 23, 9 p.m. (two hours) Perhaps
the most misreported group in America today, black men are often
stereotypically depicted in the media as convicts, gang members
and absentee fathers. Told through the personal stories of
graduates of the 1968 class of Little Rock Central High School,
their sons and grandsons, for The Black Man, Soledad O?Brien
seeks to determine whether life is better for black men now than
it was 40 years ago. She reports on the disparities between
blacks and whites in educational, career and economic
achievement and factors leading to the devastating rates of
black male incarceration. Contributing expert analysis are
Harvard economist Dr. Roland Fryer, Princeton professor Dr.
Devah Pager, journalist/social commentator Ellis Cose; and
Georgetown University professor Dr. Michael Eric Dyson; and
others. O?Brien reports on successes and dissects myths to
explore the state of black men in America today.

The
Democrats
cooked up the great society, welfare, food
stamps, and all other manner of government
goodies because they said they wanted to
help people. What was the result of that
help? The Democrats did something that they
hadn't managed to do when they enslaved
black Americans, persecuted them with Jim
Crow laws, or terrorized them with the Ku
Klux Klan: they managed to nearly destroy
the black family. According to Walter
Williams.
In 1940, the illegitimacy rate among blacks
was 19 percent, in 1960, 22 percent, and
today, it's 70 percent. Some argue that the
state of the black family is the result of
the legacy of slavery, discrimination and
poverty. That has to be nonsense. A study of
1880 family structure in Philadelphia shows
that three-quarters of black families were
nuclear families, comprised of two parents
and children. In New York City in 1925, 85
percent of kin-related black households had
two parents. In fact, according to Herbert
Gutman in The Black Family in Slavery and
Freedom: 1750-1925, Five in six children
under the age of 6 lived with both parents.
The
story is no different when it comes to education.
Many black children are stuck in disastrous, failing
schools. That's why it's no surprise that a majority
of black Americans support school vouchers, just
like the Republican Party. But, the Democratic
Party, at the behest of the teachers unions, has
worked ceaselessly to keep black children trapped in
mediocre schools by killing voucher programs..
Look at black neighborhoods that are
overrun with crime. In some of the worst
neighborhoods, you have drug dealers on the corners,
thugs breaking into houses, and people afraid to let
their children play in their yards. The Republican
solution to this is to get the criminals off the
streets so that they can't harm innocent people. The
Democratic solution is to treat the cops like bad
guys, the criminals like victims, and to try to put
the gang bangers and psychos back on the streets.
Newsflash: black criminals mostly live in black
neighborhoods and prey on black Americans. Every
time a black criminal is put back into society,
chances are that he's going to primarily victimize
other black Americans.
Speaking of victimization, how many black
Americans have lost their jobs to illegal immigrants
or have money taken out of their pockets because
illegal's who aren't even supposed to be in
this country are depressing their wages? Yet, who's
sticking up for the Americans losing their jobs to
illegal's? Republicans. And who wants to leave
the border open to millions of workers from South of
the border who'll be taking jobs from American
workers, including black Americans? The Democrats.
Of course, we can't forget about
abortion. Like most black Americans, the Republican
Party is staunchly opposed to abortion. But,
Democrats don't see it that way and don't kid
yourself, part of the reason why Democrats are so
rabidly pro-abortion is because they believe it
helps lower the number of black Americans. Today,
they won't come out and say that, but Margaret
Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, was never
so circumspect about her motives. From La Shawn
Barber, "more controversial is Sanger's Negro
Project," devised in 1939. The eugenicist set out to
implicate black ministers and doctors in her efforts
to spread her message of contraception,
sterilization, and abortion in the black community.
The most successful educational approach to the
Negro is through a religious appeal. We do not want
the word to get out that we want to exterminate the
Negro population, and the minister is the man who
can straighten out that idea if it occurs to any of
their more rebellious members, "she wrote".
Democrats have convinced more black women to kill
their own babies via abortion than they ever managed
to string up back when they hid their faces under
sheets.
