Your question is based on your misreading of my earlier post.
I said that in the 1950's black families were as stable ... or a bit more so ... as white families. I didn't say they were as affluent.
Go back and find that post ... and if you read it carefully ... I'm sure you'll agree that that's what I said.
In any case ... all individuals ... regardless of race ... who eschewed government welfare programs ... and relied on their own work and talent ... have done far, far, far better than those who bought into the fool's gold of the welfare state. You agree with that, don't you?
I can't explain why everyone does the dopey things that they do ... if I could I'd be able to explain Courtney Love to you.
And ... yes ... Wee-Wee Willie finally signed the Republicans' welfare reform legislation ... after vetoing it twice ... because Dick Morris told him that his chances for reelection were dead if he didn't.
He did the right thing for the wrong reason ... but nonetheless ... it's the results that count ... and he deserves some of the credit for the success of welfare reform.
