I noticed this week a sudden increase in anti-Trump memes on the Facebook timelines of family members, their friends and associates who while not pointing fingers in any particular direction question the sanity and intelligence of non-Progressive Black Americans and since the presidential election season has heated up, those Black Americans who support Donald Trump.

Yes, posted are pro-Hillary, pro-woman, Barack Obama is king (or higher) and “what are they thinking” memes by man who were born decades after Lyndon Johnson’s war on poverty and were too young to have experienced the Bill Clinton era.

While it is their prerogative, far too many are mature enough to remember the scandals, high taxes, Bill Clinton’s impeachment, Hillary’s war on women, the outsourcing of American jobs, three strikes you’re out and Clinton’s signature achievement, the 1994 Crime Bill which ensnared their loved ones.

Moreover, to their discredit, none who are Hillary Clinton supporters will speak of it which led me to wonder as I watched R. W. Bray’s passionate speech (video below), when it was last that Black Clinton supporters thought or spoke of Frederick Douglass, George Washington Carver, William Lloyd Garrison or Senator Edward W. Brooke III.

Have they ever mentioned the names of these famous Americans to their children and grandchildren who not learning about them in school will never know of them otherwise.

Black America has lost its way. America has lost its way.

R. W. Bray, Black Engagement Director at Republican Party of Texas, spoke at a Donald Trump rally the last week of August and lays it out but how many are listening.

We ought to be convicted that we’ve allowed the narrative of Republicanism to be rewritten. Like possums, we’ve rolled over and we’ve played dead, hoping and begging that the dangers of liberalism will pass us by….Like laughing hyenas, we’ve run away from responsibility of communities that have been drenched in poverty and inequality, all because we’ve been too afraid to be courageous. R. W. Bray, Austin Texas

“This is the party of Abraham Lincoln, and we will not be divided.”

Insanity! $22 Trillion Spent on the War on Poverty

“We shall not rest until that war is won…” That of course would mean that Lyndon Johnson whose war on poverty is a colossal disaster must be doing back flips in his grave “from the courthouse to the White House.”

Fox News Insider

Greg Gutfeld pointed out on “The Five” today that the U.S. census counts a family as poor, but excludes any income or benefits they receive from the government, thus ensuring that those programs will grow while poverty statistics remain unchanged.

“It’s not a war on poverty, it’s a zombie that you can’t kill,” he said. “Stop throwing money at it. This is crazy.”

 

According to the U.S. Census Bureau 14.5% of the population in the USA (45.3 million Americans) were living at or below the poverty level in 2013. In addition, the number of children living in poverty decreased by 1.4 million, to 14.7 million.

New York Times

This was not a statistically significant change from the estimate for 2012, the bureau said in its annual report on income and poverty….

Census officials said that income inequality did not change in a statistically significant way from 2012 to 2013. However, they said, inequality has increased substantially in the last two decades, and the most common measure of household income inequality, known as the Gini index, is up 4.9 percent since 1993….

ONE SIDE OF THE COIN, MOVING THE GOALPOST

About the U. S. Census Bureau’s report on poverty, Greg Gutfeld is dead on point. Poverty, as defined in today’s America is far different from the definition of poverty, fifty years ago because our bureaucrats are continually moving the goalpost.

The War on Poverty Has Been a Colossal Flop by The Daily Signal

Since its beginning, U.S. taxpayers have spent $22 trillion on Johnson’s War on Poverty (in constant 2012 dollars). Adjusting for inflation, that’s three times more than was spent on all military wars since the American Revolution.

The federal government currently runs more than 80 means-tested welfare programs. These programs provide cash, food, housing and medical care to low-income Americans. Federal and state spending on these programs last year was $943 billion. (These figures do not include Social Security, Medicare, or Unemployment Insurance.)

…Census counts a family as poor if its income falls below specified thresholds. But in counting family “income,” Census ignores nearly the entire $943 billion welfare state….

Failed Liberal Progressive Social Programs Bankrupting America The United States of America has had a AAA credit rating since 1917. That rating survived WWI, the Great Depression, World War II, The Korean War, Vietnam, Jimmy Carter, 9-11, and those “unfunded” wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. It however could not survive less than one term of the current President’s misguided “Social” Policies.
