Ustwo, let's not leave out the 16 million impoverished White people in America.
And compassion isn't a Democratic conspiracy; it's a real thing, so don't be afraid of it. I'm not saying you should throw money at any problem, but I do expect effective community and social programs in place to help alleviate the problems of poverty. And if welfare is one of these tools, then so be it. Make it work. There are many other factors affecting the increasingly difficult plight of the impoverished. You can't attribute the whole thing to the introduction of the welfare state.
And while I understand that poverty greatly affects the Black and Hispanic communities, I don't understand your KKK comparison.
