CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY APRIL 5, 2019
THE REVEREND IN NAME ONLY AL SHARPTON CHAIRED A MEETING OF BLACK LEADERS AND OTHERS EARLIER THIS WEEK IN NEW YORK. ATTENDING WERE SEVERAL PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES – LOWER TIER I WOULD CALL THEM. EACH TRIED TO OUT PROMISE THE OTHER ON WHAT THEY WOULD DO TO HELP BLACK PEOPLE.
ONE PROPOSED $1000 A MONTH FOR LIFE FOR EVERYONE. EACH TRIED TO OUT-LIBERAL THE OTHER. NONE SUGGESTED THAT SCHOOL CHOICE MIGHT BE THE BEST OPPORTUNITY FOR AFRICAN-AMERICAN CHILDREN TRAPPED IN FAILING GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS. THE TEACHERS UNIONS WOULDN’T STAND FOR THAT. NO ONE TALKED ABOUT BUILDING UP BLACK FAMILIES, OR GAVE CREDIT TO PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR PRISON REFORM.
THE USUAL SCRIPT WAS FOLLOWED: VOTER SUPPRESSION (WHICH IS A FICTION), ATTACK PRESIDENT TRUMP; YOU GET THE PICTURE. ONE QUESTION: WE HAD EIGHT YEARS OF BILL CLINTON AND EIGHT YEARS OF BARACK OBAMA. WHY DIDN’T THEY IMPROVE THE LIVES OF BLACK PEOPLE?
DEMOCRATS NEED AN UNDERCLASS DEPENDENT ON THEM TO GET THEIR VOTES AND VOTES, NOT IMPROVED CONDITIONS. IF MORE AFRICAN-AMERICANS BECAME INDEPENDENT OF GOVERNMENT THEY MIGHT BE LESS DEPENDENT ON DEMOCRATS. AND THE LEFT CAN’T HAVE THAT. I’M CAL THOMAS
