Welfare programs, perhaps counter-intuitively, have institutionalized poverty among black Americans. 

The root cause of crime and poverty in black communities is the lack of fathers and the preponderance of single motherhood.

As long as African Americans see themselves as victims, they can’t flourish.

In 2009, 73% of black children were born to single mothers. In the 1940s, that number was only around 14%.

Politically incorrect fact: Blacks comprise 13% of the population, but commit 52% of homicides.

In 2013, the poverty rate among blacks overall was 36%, but only 8% among black married couples. 

One reason for high rates of single motherhood among blacks is the preponderance of welfare programs.

An extensive 2016 Harvard study found that there is no racial bias against blacks in police shootings.

Fatal police shootings of white and Hispanic men occur proportionally three times as often as fatal shootings of black men.

For every one black male killed by police, 40 black men are murdered by other black men.

Perceived racism is holding back blacks much more than actual racism.   

Trillions of dollars and decades of welfare programs have made virtually no impact on the black poverty rate.
