Liberalism versus Blacks

[cwo_ghwebb]

There is no question that liberals do an impressive job of expressing concern for blacks. But do the intentions expressed in their words match the actual consequences of their deeds?

San Francisco is a classic example of a city unexcelled in its liberalism. But the black population of San Francisco today is less than half of what it was back in 1970, even though the city’s total population has grown.

Severe restrictions on building housing in San Francisco have driven rents and home prices so high that blacks and other people with low or moderate incomes have been driven out of the city. The same thing has happened in a number of other California communities dominated by liberals.

Professor Sowell points out the difference in outcomes when policies are developed by emotion rather than fact.

In either case, you liberal/socialist/democrats don't give a damn about minorities. If you did you'd be finding more ways to teach them how to fish rather than just GIVING them a fish.

I was being facetious.

There are plenty of welfare programs that "teach a man to fish" -- people who don't want to take responsibility don't take advantage. That's the fault of the person who doesn't want to become a productive member of society.
