Black Community News News and Commentary for Christians
This weekend, columnist and radio show host Larry Elder made some hard-hitting comments on Twitter. Commenting on an interview Dr. Ben Carson had with Roland Martin, Elder tweeted:
Dr. Ben Carson asks,"'Where are liberals' when black conservatives are harassed?"
Doc, whom do you think is DOING the harassing?

Elder asks questions that reflect the problem with 90 percent of black Americans voting Democrats in office.
Black Obamanoids defend the rise in black joblessness from 12% to 12.4%– by calling Allen West, Ben Carson, Clarence Thomas "Uncle Toms."

Black joblessness up from 12% to 12.4%. As a 95% voting bloc, blacks certainly have a knack for tipping their executioner.

I’ve always said, and will continue to say, that black Americans’ biggest concern isn’t “racism” or bias; it’s family instability. Children who live with their married parents are better off physically, financially, and emotionally, regardless of race.
Urban America cannot be fixed with flood of gov't $. Community needs a flood of responsible fathers–rendered irrelevant by welfare state.

Elder: Presence of white racism or absence of black fathers–which is bigger danger to black USA?
Kweisi Mfume: Absence of black fathers.

A better approach to problems among blacks, whether the subject is unemployment, academic underachievement, or inconvenient crime statistics, is to address the fact that three-quarters of black children are born to homes with no father. If blacks deal with this problem and move toward solving it, racial disparities, while they likely won’t disappear, will narrow. But of course, pointing fingers at others is profitable and garners headlines.
