The only problem is I do not think this will blow over in a few months. Special interest groups will use this to expand social welfare programs. Programs that have miserably failed the black community. I went to elementary school in Bedford Stuy Brooklyn back in the 60s. The class was racially mixed — but what we all had in common was a family. Almost everyone in my class had a mother and father. And we started the day with the pledge of allegiance and a prayer. Social programs over the last 50 years has all but incentivized poor families to rely on the state, and fathers are no longer a presence in the home. Also while I do not have the stats on this, I would hazard a guess and say that God is not present in a lot of homes either. In the words of Alexander Solzhenitsyn lamenting the demise of his homeland Russia. . .”men have forgotten God, that is why this has happened . . .”
