(You can blow your mind with facts and statistics here, with the Population Reference Bureau’s bulletin covering US economic and social trends between 2000 and 2010: http://www.prb.org/pdf10/65.1unitedstates.pdf)<br /><br />As for the progress blacks made after World War II, the great (black) economic historian Thomas Sowell is excellent on this in such books as “Conflict of Visions” and “Vision of the Anointed” – he grew up in Harlem during the post-war era of progress, and became a Marxist, and was an academic economist when he realised that everything the Democrats were doing to improve black lives was in fact destroying them: his books are stuffed with scary statistics. Charles Murray’s 1984 book, “Losing Ground: American Social Policy 1950-1980” was a real eye-opener, as it showed that the more money you spent on welfare for the poor, the worse their lives became, economically and socially.<br /><br />Black voting habits are covered at Factcheck.org: http://www.factcheck.org/2008/04/blacks-and-the-democratic-party/<br /><br />The National Black Republican Association is interesting on black voting: there’s been a long argument over whether martin Luther King Jnr was a Republican!!! (his dad certainly was). Obviously, the linked article is heavily weighted against the Democrats, but it’s fascinating nevertheless: http://images.nbra.info/docs/library/NationalBlackRepublicanAssociation2009/NBRA%20Civil%20Rights%20Newsletter%202Feb11.pdf<br /><br />As for Hispanics, I haven’t paid much attention – but they’re generally nearer black economic and social levels than whites or orientals (who tend to come out on top whatever’s being measured!).Scott Gronmarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15118026157459333174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2215553202978284468.post-61218713801183296292012-02-02T09:54:15.051+00:002012-02-02T09:54:15.051+00:00Interesting stuff, Scott.

What about Hispanics, how are they faring?tropicalrobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13907714141889699499noreply@blogger.com
