He was indeed absolutely correct. And guess what? That's the Democrats' fault, yet again. By design. They took a people who were starting to overcome the disadvantages of slavery and  were pulling themselves up.  Then in the mid-sixties: BOOM! BOOM! Welfare, to keep them dependent. The Immigration Act, to bring in massive numbers of low-skilled people to compete against them in the marketplace. Back in the old days, black people came from two-parent homes. Now look.  The situation has been completely reversed, with most black children coming from single-parent homes.  You even have leftist teachers telling blacks that reading is overrated.  The Dems have successfully kept black people as slaves -- or pets -- to this very day. It will be glorious when the facts hit the fan in the US black population. Edited for grammar.
