Blacks have been getting a "hand up" in America for a half century.

It doesn't work.


The hand up called affirmative action has placed blacks in key positions with civil service, military, post office, and any other jobs that hire minorities, women, blacks first..regardless of qualification.

These minorities are doing the hiring now. Chickens have come home to roost.



What's been happening is not what I'd call a "hand up." School vouchers might be a hand up. Affirmative action is nothing but a chain to a stake on the plantation that cost us all more. A strategy that destroys the influence of the Jacksons and the Sharptons of the world---and the credibility they somehow maintain among urban blacks, is key, IMO.


Don't be the darkness.

America will perish while those who should be standing guard are satisfying their lusts.
