Re: Why Do Blacks Still Buy The Government Plantation Lie?

Everyone is aware of the external forces present in politics.

Star Parker was was trying to reach a segment of the population. She stated the problem well. All you had to do was read it:

"The problem is broader and deeper. Blacks still by and large see government dependence as the remedy rather than the disease, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. They still choose to listen to left wing black political leadership and media who have careers in keeping it all going.

Consider that it was welfare state government policies that caused this economic collapse to begin with. And that it was community activist groups claiming to represent the interests of minorities who lobbied for these policies.

According to a new study by American Enterprise Institute scholar Edward Pinto, a former Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer at Fannie Mae, this is exactly what happened.

The recession was caused, according to Pinto, by the collapse of housing and mortgage markets. Markets imploded because of the proliferation of risky unconventional mortgages which spread as result of government dictates to promote “affordable housing.”

It was community activist groups such as National People’s Action and ACORN – yes the old stomping buddies of our president – that lobbied for taxpayer backed lending behemoths, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, to relax lending standards. "

The article wasn't about Bush, oil, the middle east. Regardless of who is funding, or pulling the strings, this was about getting this segment to understand that their salvation doesn't hinge on playing the governments reservation BS, but rather rejecting the same like she, and the rest have done in this last election. Had they done that, the senate control would have changed also, and we could have corrected the problems caused by the people in charge.
