It's time for Black's to walk off the Democratic plantation. I see more and more Blacks stop being Democrats.
1940's and 1950's poverty rates was higher for Black's then today but incarceration and Crime rates were lower. High Crime is not because of Poverty and from High Racism in 40's and 50's. The War on Drugs is blamed for Incarceration Rates but Blacks make up 37.6% of State Prison population and State Prisons houses more than 80% of all Prisoners. Even if you remove all Drugs Offenders in Federal and State, prison population will still be around 37.4%. It's Violent Offenses and Property Crime that drives high Black Incarceration rates not Drugs.
The harsh penalties for Crack Cocaine in the 1980's was supported by most Congressional Black Caucus because many Black leaders said it was destroying Black communities and they wanted longer prison sentences. It was Black legislatures that pushed for tougher drug laws, this is something that is conveniently left out when they want to Blame Drug Sentencing on racist Whites.
The crime and incarceration rates spiked in the 1970's and 1980's in Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Cleveland were in places under Black Mayors, Black Police Chiefs, Black Council Members, and Black School Superintendents. Some of the most violent cities are run by Blacks and yet somehow its White peoples fault and their racism in the system.
It's not genetics and racism thats holding Black's back. It's the culture that holding them back. The culture of anti education and praising crime. And most Blacks even in the most violent cities are not criminals, it's only a small minority of teens and young adults thats committing most of the crime. Many Blacks in the inner cities actually respect what cops do that put their lives in jeopardy to protect Blacks so they wont have to sleep in bath tubs at night so they wont be hit by stray bullets in a neighborhood shooting.
