"For several decades now many blacks have been receiving welfare checks and other government aid [in New Orleans]. Initially, it was done in the name of compassion and to compensate them for the unfairness and discrimination they had been subjected to by white society. That was understandable. However, we have now learned a hard lesson and that is: If you give people unending handouts they will grow dependent on those handouts and a high percentage will quit trying to provide for - or better - themselves. " The above statement is a bitter pill for many Blacks to swallow. I have long believed that we should not get any special handouts, and that in many cases (though not all), welfare can be a detriment. Couple that with the fact that 70 percent of all black babies born in America are to unwed mothers and you have a recipe for poverty, a failure to become educated and high rates of criminal activity. One phrase for ya: the breakdown of the family unit.
