The reason for this question is that every election, that comes up, Democrats pull out the same ole playbook and pull the exact same strings in order to get their base fired up and energized to come out and vote. Yes, Republicans do essentially the same thing pulling the same strings in order to hopefully get themselves an optimistic outcome. For the Democrats, they play heavily to minorities and labor unions but my question is just how have the Democrats improved things for minorities and labor unions in the last 50 years or so?
Democrats are always promising the world to Black Americans, promising to "keep them out of chains" or telling them that Republicans are going to put them back into chains. Either way, they (minorities) are fed the same dish/line that says only the Democrats are looking out for their interest so my question is what have Democrats done to improve a lot of the average Black American? One only has to look at many, if not all, of the major US cities that are heavily populated by minority communities and are usually governed by Democrats and one will see extreme poverty and a greater reliance upon government assistance than other areas of the Nation. These people are reliant and slaves to the government and those benefits and while the chains are figurative these people are never the less in servitude to the Government who gives them their benefits.
Under Donald Trump, Black employment has skyrocketed to unprecedented highs and Black and Hispanic unemployment are at historic lows. Republicans are said to be favoring big Business over the common man but Republicans state that they want to bring everyone up and give everyone a chance to succeed by a reduction in regulations and providing more jobs for people that want or need them.
My question, then, is with Democrats outward statements that they are concentrating on benefiting the ordinary man, the "working man" and minorities then where are the signs of things getting better? What has the Democrats done to benefit the minority population and those they claim to be helping? Please don't cite Civil Rights as a Democratic achievement because Civil Rights victories came about under Lyndon Johnson and at the objection of his own parties politicians. It was the Republicans who enabled Civil Right's legislation and victories to happen. I'm sure there are some achievements but I'm trying to think of some now and can't. So I'm asking for my own education and benefit. I don't consider Food Stamps, Welfare, and Government Support to be a positive thing but an unfortunate negative thing that essentially puts people in servitude and rewards a lack of incentive and achievement.
