GOOD INTENTIONS? We say "intentional outcome." You decide on why (failing) public schools, and the war on poverty has actually harmed blacks...

Part 1

Walter Williams' PBS documentary Good Intentions based on his book, The State Against Blacks (1982). The documentary was very controversial at the time it was released and led to many animosities and even threats of murder.

In Good Intentions, Dr. Williams examines the failure of the war on poverty and the devastating effect of well meaning government policies on blacks asserting that the state harms people in the U.S. more than it helps them. He shows how government anti-poverty programs have often locked people into poverty making the points that:

Being forced to attend 3rd rate public schools leave students unprepared for working life.

Minimum wages prevent young people from obtaining jobs at an early age.

Licensing and labor laws have had the effect of restricting entrance of blacks into the skilled trades and unions.

The welfare system creates perverse incentives for the poor to make bad choices they otherwise would not.

Dr. Williams presents solutions to these problems: Part 2 and 3 below.





The left has always knew this was an excellent way to keep poor people in their place and a great way to secure their vote. Just look who these academic elitist liberals look up to; Mao, Alinsky, Che, Marx, Cloward and Piven etc...

The party of real racism (democrats) has been given a free pass on their racist past (and present) because they have actually succeeded in "dumbing down" not only the poor, but the public in general, including people from every class. They have also got away with falsely labeling the republican party for being racists without any evidence, using the help of the media and public education to do it! Quite impressive...

That's not racism? We think it is...

The KKK still votes democrat to this day because they could never compete with the democrat party when it comes to doing so much damage to one race. If you have any doubts, just look at todays current black unemployment, incarceration rates, drug use, teen pregnancy, poverty rates and the cities of Detroit, Chicago and Philadelphia for starters.
