If you say something loud enough and often enough eventually people will believe it, no matter if it's actually true. The prevailing thought is that liberals help minorities, and conservatives don't. This couldn't be further from the truth. In the 1930's FDR enacted a minimum wage law. They didn't raise the minimum wage at all in the 40's so it basically didn't exist. In 1949 black teenage unemployment was only 9%. Today it is 43%. Are people more racist today than in 1949? The answer is obviously no so we must turn back to the minimum wage law. What coincides with un-employment? Government dependence namely welfare. Welfare dependence is even extended into the public school system. Schools with lower test scores get the money, so why would they teach their kids? It's taking the schools check away. Really what a positive liberal contributions to minorities?
