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.

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. “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.”
