So sad. While I disagree with the Trump cult, constantly repeating that we need a plantation, paid for by the left in exchange for votes in order to "succeed" is unbelievably tragic.

Black communities were doing substantially better back in the decades before welfare and victimization culture than they are today. This ranges from about the 20s to the 70s. Black graduation at all levels (including Ivy League) and employment was off-the-charts higher. Today, the blame is all "legacy of slavery", but in reality is the legacy of welfare, Al Sharpton style victimization, and centralization of education. If it really was the legacy of slavery, things wouldn't have been so much better in the 20s-70s for blacks economically. Legacy of slavery style racism gets the blame, when the real culprit is SJW style racism. Thomas Sowell is the main economists who discusses this stuff.
