All I can say is it is about time no matter what the reason is.


Blacks, Elderly to Government: Stop Helping Us
Is skepticism toward government programs growing in a key liberal demographic? The Washington Post reports on new research finding that African Americans have become more hostile to government programs—even those they benefit from. Here’s the gist of the findings, contained in a report presented at the Brookings Institution:

Blacks are still far more supportive of governmental redistribution than the population as a whole. The elderly used to be as supportive, but now they are more likely to be opposed. What’s more, opposition is growing among these groups to the kinds of redistributive policies that benefit them in particular. Blacks have become more opposed to the idea that the government should help members of racial minorities. The elderly are increasingly adamant that the government should not provide health insurance — despite their fondness for Medicare, a federal program […]

Whatever the reason, when asked specifically whether the government should do more to help blacks and members of other minorities, blacks have become more likely to say that it should not.

It’s not clear exactly why the attitudes are shifting this way.

This is interesting...take away just a few percentage pts. of the black community away from the Left and elections would be a whole lot different. :ohmy: ...now, watch The Community's "crabs in a bucket" syndrome come into play to strike down dissidents... :ohmy: :ohmy:
