Some Interesting Observations

The average black person is a Democrat. He reveres the Democratic party as the one that will enact policies beneficial to him as a black person -- as the party that will take care of him. But here are a couple of astute observations from a black man, Dr. Thomas Sowell, who sees beyond the party line:

"A higher percentage of Republicans than Democrats voted in Congress for both the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965."

"A larger proportion of blacks rose out of poverty in the 20 years before 1960 than in the 20 years afterward [after LBJ's war on poverty policies were enacted]."
