<p>I didn’t mean to profile you or claim you were black. You misunderstood me. Sorry if I may have contributed to that.</p>
<p>Anyway, I know the Democrats haven’t been as strong on public welfare as their stated ideals would lead one to believe, but they do try(Well, 1/4 to 1/2 of them do, lol). In regards to your assertion that blacks will have to pull themselves out of poverty, I just don’t know how that can be done. There’s no historical precedent for any impoverished group in a larger and more affluent society rising to coequal status all by themselves. Let’s face it, minorities need help.</p>
<p>But as weak-willed as Democrats have been in the past 10-30 years, I think that they or some other left-wing party(Because let’s face it, right-wingers are not too concerned about the plight of the poor) will succeed in blacks and other minorities to coequal status. Perhaps I’m being too optimistic, but that’s just what I believe.</p>
