OH BK...thanks for that....I would love to be able to put my thoughts into words as he does.

I would have just added the strict political aspect, although I think he used government close to the same way.

Early in my life, when I was active in politics, I can assure you....and I am sure it is worse now....minorities were voting blocks and nothing more. Those who professed to help were actually just trying to insure their vote.
This is not partisan...both parties....but votes, not help. Surely some got help from the government, but what Friedman points out....it is not helping...it hinders.

Thanks so much and good to "see" you again !

Just to add.....if you REALLY wanted to help minorities, you would not do it with government and politics.\ and today I am frustrated and negative because it has become such a political mantra and in my opinion, most of minorities are now simply being used.
