No one says it better than Thomas Sowell – “The current problems facing blacks in America owe more to the Great Society than to slavery.” (emphasis in bold added)

His contention is that the Legacy of Liberalism has done more to devastate blacks since the mid-1960’s than the legacy of Slavery before, and he offers this data to prove it:

• Pre-1960’s rapid rate of poverty decline slowed after the War on Poverty began;
• Pre-1960’s, most black children were raised in 2-parent families, but 30+ years later the majority of black children were being raised in single parent families;
• Pre-1960’s murder rate among blacks was 1/2 of what it became 20 years later, “…after a legacy of liberal law enforcement policies.”
