Letters: It’s the Democrats to blame for all of it

Systematic racism takes place in crumbling liberal cities run by Democrats for decades. Affordable housing is put in inner cities while jobs are shipped to China through overbearing taxes and onerous restrictions.

Then they become sanctuary cities where illegal immigrants move in and take the jobs that are left. Police unions defend bad cops making it nearly impossible to remove them. School unions contribute heavily to Democrats ,so city leaders follow their directives of no school choice, no vouchers and no charter schools; send the youths to failed inner city schools.

The leaders take no responsibility for failing, but now say, “You’re victims; you can’t get ahead; it’s not your fault” – and thus new recruits for the permanent underclass Democratic voting bloc.

It was the Great Society bill that changed America from the land of opportunity to the land of entitlement. Failing the African-American community lies squarely with 55 years of failed Democratic policies and broken promises that have destroyed family units and the ability to advance.
