The ramifications of political policy
A lot of what the current regime is doing is creating a recipient class that pays no taxes but instead, receives money and food from the Federal Government. The Democrats who do this are essentially buying a bloc of votes with their largess.
Needless to say, the recipients are labeled as 'poor' as if they were 'rich', there would be zero justification for these programs.
This creates a rift between the donors and the recipients and when a large percentage of those who choose to be recipients are black, racial tensions are present.
From Milwaukee station
WTMJ:
Witnesses describe mobs, some people claim racially-charged attacks
Witnesses tell Newsradio 620 WTMJ and TODAY'S TMJ4 of a mob of young people attacking innocent fair-goers at the end of the opening night of State Fair, with some callers claiming a racially-charged scene.
Milwaukee Police confirmed there were assaults outside the fair.
Witnesses' accounts claim everything from dozens to hundreds of young black people beating white people as they left State Fair Thursday night.
Authorities have not given official estimates of the number of people involved in the attacks.
"It looked like they were just going after white guys, white people," said Norb Roffers of Wind Lake in an interview with Newsradio 620 WTMJ. He left the State Fair Entrance near the corner of South 84th Street and West Schlinger Avenue in West Allis.
There was a rap concert that evening but (from the
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel):
The violence is similar to what occurred in Milwaukee's Riverwest neighborhood over the July 4 holiday, when about 60 young people beat and robbed a smaller group that had been watching fireworks from Kilbourn Reservoir Park. The injured people were white; the attackers were African-American, witnesses said. Another group looted a convenience store.
Thursday night's Main Stage performer was rapper MC Hammer, but a number of people who attended the concert said the show wasn't to blame for the disturbances at the fair. One woman said the crowd watching Hammer was mostly white and adult, and any children there seemed to be with parents.
Another woman said the concert was "very laid-back and had no craziness that we witnessed at all. The craziness was in the midway."
I am reminded of
that great quote from President Lyndon Johnson regarding his new "Great Society" and the ramp-up of the Federal handouts: "That should get the niggers voting Democrat for the next 200 years."
