Why Hillary Clinton Doesn’t Deserve the Black Vote

[tmonster]

If the city, state, and fed government don't have ample tax revenue how do you expect these programs to exist?

ok, let's first establish how much revenue you think it would take to, let's say prevent the inner cities of the 90's from

reaching the point of noreturn.

and establish some modicum of prosperity and let's say you also give us some logical or maybe even historical basis for your number

It's not just about drugs, its about violence, homelessness, the erosion of tax base, blighted neighborhoods and the list goes on.

this is so vague, disconnected and misinformed, it's essentially a cacophony of the talking points the tv done taught you
I feel bad for you
so let me help
it's Primarily and initially about housing
it's about institutional racist decisions AND LAWS/ORDINANCES enacted and ignored (in the latter I refer to the FHA) to keep blacks segregated and out of home ownership, decent neighborhoods and instead funnel them into concentration camps y'all call projects and ghettos. plain and simple; this was orchestrated fully by the gov and local interests, throughout the 60's and 70's. The inner city was created and blacks were forced into them.

If you don't have any experience with the state of things how can you judge them?
If I lived in suburbia or and affluent area how can appreciate how bad things were for the life of city people in this period? I honestly don't think someone can.

nonsense, There is plenty of good information about the civil rights movements of the last 50 years that a Martian could land here today and, with proper review, have good grip on these matters.

I frankly don't think an organic change would have resulted in the turnaround in affected communities that we currently have today. In NYC alone in the past the majority of neighborhoods were essentially slums.

this could achieve the level of circular reasoning. if- you would include the history of slums and African Americans

Timeline: Black America’s surprising 40-year support for the Drug War

There was a real problem in the inner cities and black leaders were some of the loudest proponents

Bernie was in Congress when these policies were drawn up, do we have a record of his votes?

Of course, it can be said that it’s unfair to criticize the Clintons for punishing black people so harshly, given that many black people were on board with the “get tough” movement too. It is absolutely true that black communities back then were in a state of crisis, and that many black activists and politicians were desperate to get violent offenders off the streets. What is often missed, however, is that most of those black activists and politicians weren’t asking only for toughness. They were also demanding investment in their schools, better housing, jobs programs for young people, economic-stimulus packages, drug treatment on demand, and better access to healthcare. In the end, they wound up with police and prisons. To say that this was what black people wanted is misleading at best

He voted for the crime bill in 1994. But against the welfare reform, bank deregulation bill and the war in Iraq.
