What is particularly sad to see in this country is how some citizens have through history worked diligently to deprive themselves the joy and wealth of Black talent, intelligence, courage, and endurance -- all gifts which enrich the quality of life for everyone. What horrible ignorance is it that creates such unforgivable waste?

The irony of the redistribution of wealth is that the unpaid labor of the enslaved built the white wealth. This was repeated when Reagan used the welfare queen example of fraud by an individual as an excuse to cut taxes for businesses, break unions and raid pension funds. IMHO, GOP manifest destiny that the powerful accumulate wealth by corruption and inequality. Meritocracy built a powerful Federal Government. Reagan used an example of wealth fraud to paint all beneficiaries as unworthy.
