Sure there were some good intentions behind the "War on Poverty", but as with most government programs, it did more harm than good. In retaliative terms the American Black Family was doing pretty well before Screwed things up in his efforts to buy their votes for the next 100 years.
Perhaps the most damaging effect welfare was the destruction of the Black nuclear family. For many of the early poverty programs, there was no way to collect the benefits if a husband and wife remained married. Social Workers would come around, and if there was evidence of a man living in the house, the benefits were yanked. So our government effectively paid black to break up their families.
After destroying the family, the bureaucrats also destroyed the incentive to work had and improve their position in life. If they made too much money, they lost all their benefits. The bureaucrats taught blacks how to make their living by living off the government. Now it's common for children to follow in the footsteps of their parents, especially as it related to trade, and these parents taught there kids the only way they know how to make a living....off the government....
