These programs that you speak of are precisely what keep black people down. Why would a black kid in downtown Chicago learn to make himself useful when he's learned that he can just rely on government programs for the rest of his life. Im not making the claim that digging yourself out of poverty in America is easy, or that it's just a "cultural problem." I think that there are a multitude of things the government does to reinforce the never ending poverty cycle in these communities, and they'd be much better off with less government. One super obvious example is the war on drugs. It's pretty obvious that having a dad who sells weed or uses crack is much better than having your dad put away for life and never really having a dad at all.

It’s almost like the concepts and beliefs that led to slavery, Jim Crow and the black codes never really went away and just took on new forms.
