Of course they have not made things worseYou missed the premise of the thread, Nutjobber. No surprise because you're really dense.Let's see....What have Democrats done for blacks?
Affirmative action
Education programs
Jobs programs in urban areas
Small business programs
Childcare services
Welfare and other safety net programs
What have Republicans done for blacks?
More prisons
All of those things have resulted in life that is WORSE for blacks, not better. If Democrats had done NOTHING blacks would be better off. Poverty in the black community was about 80% in 1940. By 1960 is was about 40%. By 1980 it was about 37%. Blacks were better off without those programs.
All these programs have provided opportunities and a safety net for minority families
Even conservative icon Ben Carson benefitted from these programs
