There are plenty of white people on the welfare system, too, in the same trap.  But somehow, it only seems to manifest itself into a culture of violence in cities controlled by Democrats with large black populations, like Chicago, Detroit, Camden, St. Louis, Los Angeles, Cleveland, Baltimore, Philadelphia.  Why is that?

Here in the Denver area where I've lived most of my life, we have relatively few race issues, despite significant black and Hispanic communities.  Must be the altitude.

Back in the early 80's, I was sales manager for a solar company, and on two differenct occassions, I hired black men who had come to my house as door-to-door salesmen, had good attitudes and personality.  I gave them my card and asked them to come see me.  Both did, both got hired, and both - at separate times - moved into a high end condo I'd moved to - rent free - until they got a few commissions under their belt.  Got to know them pretty well.
