As nodick said, look at the ratios.. When you adjust for population, black people collect welfare and commit crimes at a much higher rate.
I've lived in Ohio and NYC.. I've seen both sides, and my subjective experience has to call bs on what you wrote. Politicians go out of their way to play appologist to black people.. The only thing where I think the government purposely tries to hurt black population is through the war on drugs.
That's silly, even for you. What difference does the "rate" mean when it all comes down to money? If welfare ended today... more white people would be affected. There is no war on drugs, man. It's a huge govt boondogle, a bridge to nowhere or whatever else you'd like to call it.
Aside from Bill Clinton, blacks have never really voted
for anyone. Blacks generally vote against someone. Polititians know this and pay lip service to blacks so they don't get all uppity and actually vote. They pulled a brilliant move in advancing Obama because some black people are actually stupid enough to believe he represents them. They're just as stupid as those who thought Hillary represented them. Most Americans aren't of the economic status where who is president actually affects their lfe to any extent. This election will probably have a pretty big black turnout if Obama gets the nomination. Even though their financial lives won't actually change there are a lot of olf-timers who would love to see a black president in their lifetime.
