- In 1964 President Johnson enacted a series of laws and policies called, “The Great Society,” which was supposed to end poverty, but which, in reality, ended the stable Black family. Unmarried women were, in essence, paid to have children, but they had to stay single. Today 77% of Black children grow up in a household without their father.
- Though Johnson pushed for and signed the 1964 Civil Rights bill into law, it was Republicans who voted it through Congress.
- Many white Democrats in the South became Republican in the 1970s, not because they were racists, but because they were evangelical Christians who could not support the abortion position of the Democrat Party.
“Today, the Democrats are economically enslaving Blacks and have turned inner city communities into modern plantations of welfare and economic dependence.” (Allen West)
