Black Community News News and Commentary for Christians
Although the election has passed, Star Parker’s words of wisdom on religious principles and a strong nation are relevant in any season. President-elect Donald Trump will occupy the White House.

Star Parker said on Straight Arrow News that our founders believed in religious freedom, but they also believed in timeless religious principles. She quoted President George Washington and Booker T. Washington, an educator and civil rights pioneer, both of whom espoused core truths.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 ushered in an era of big government and welfare-state socialism based on the assumption that black Americans weren’t prepared or incapable of being free. The assumption created new problems in black communities — especially for families.
“And since the introduction of these programs, single-parent homes and out-of-marriage births have skyrocketed,” Star said. “Seeking to bring the failed welfare state socialism of the broken parts of our country to the healthy parts of our country — rather than to bring the capitalism of those healthy parts of our country to the broken areas — progressives seem to celebrate government dependency and, therefore, inequality.”
