Liberal policies gutted Black America. Now they say we need more abortion.

By Tom Quiner

Liberalism has failed the African-American race.

A Quiner’s Diner reader suggests in her response to a recent post that we need abortion so taxpayers don’t have to pick up the tab for the kids of African-Americans, whom she fears would become “wards of the state:”

“That said, have any conservatives thought seriously about how the millions of pregnancies of primarily poor, single black mothers — pregnancies unanticipated and unwanted due predominantly to economic circumstances would be handled by society? These 50 million plus children would be wards of the state, would they not? If we are so strongly against a social safety net, how can we reconcile these two points of view?”

Note how liberals automatically assume that African-Americans are a bunch of losers. They’re not, but liberal social policies in the U.S. gutted their families.

Take education. Black kids are faring worse, a lot worse, than white kids.

The average seventh to eighth grade white kid tests better than a black  twelfth-grader. This is certainly a multi-faceted problem. But there’s no doubt that, on average, black kids attend inferior schools than white kids. Conservatives encourage  programs such as school-choice and vouchers to liberate black kids from their ghetto schools, but liberal politicians block these initiatives.

Liberals’ solution? Money.

They pour money into select urban schools without a proportionate return on investment. For example, Washington D.C. has the dubious distinction of being toward the bottom of the rung in academic achievement for their students, even though they spend more than any other, some $29,000 per student per year.

Take security. Seven to nine-thousand blacks are murdered every year. Despite a lot of talk about racist prison sentences and hate crime, 94% of blacks are murdered by other blacks. A young black man is much safer being sent to war than growing up on the urban streets of America.

What happened?

Simply put, welfare. Liberal elites erected a network of programs that profoundly changed Black America. Some programs worked well; some didn’t. But ultimately, the multi-trillion dollar Great Society Programs replaced Black fathers with a welfare check, to the detriment of Black children.

In the early sixties, three out of four Black kids lived with their married mom and dad.

Today, it’s only one out of three.

The systematic destruction of the Black family has led to an explosion of social pathology amongst our Black brothers and sisters.

It gets even worse when you look at birth rates. Some 53% of black babies are aborted, which has lowered the Black birth rate below replacement level. The Black community in America is slowly dying, one abortion at a time.

Today, Blacks enjoy more political clout than at any time in our history. We have 44 African-Americans serving in Congress. We have an African-American president. And yet with their growing political clout, they continue to overwhelmingly support the Democratic Party which promotes the very policies that have been so deleterious to America’s Black community.

President Obama garnered some 95% of the Black vote despite the fact that he promotes human abortion as a way of controlling unwanted human beings; he fights school choice and vouchers tooth and nail, miring Black kids in underachieving schools; and he supports and expands welfare programs that breed dependence and stagnation.

The political philosophy of Barack Obama and his fellow liberal elites has been poison to Black America.

No, the key to saving the African-American race is certainly not more abortion.

What they need is more family.

African-American kids simply need a mom and a dad bringing them up. Great Society programs subsidized illegitimacy. Whenever you subsidize anything, you get more of it.

Perhaps it’s time to rethink things.
