Look what happened to
the black family after the government tried to help them.

You fall into the conservative mistake of assuming that anybody who is
an advocate for acknowledging the differences between minorities and
white (or lighter-colored skin) is automatically advocating some kind
of welfare.

I do not think you can package a group of social programs and call it
good. I equally do not believe that you can ignore or not admit there
is a problem and call it good ("pull yourself up by your bootstraps" as
you appear to be advocating).

Our current 3 year welfare limit seems to be reasonable.


I can't believe you would continue to promote these already tried and failed
social nightmares. Every kid who grew up in an AFDC
assisted household probably will never know the damage your failed
social policies did to him, his father, and his chance at the the
American dream.

I would advocate classes on diversity at the middle school or high
school level. But I know that you would probably be dead-set against
that too, so let's not even start that argument.

Since the problem is in the home and family...I don't see what good diversity
education in the schools will do.
