I'm out on the history thing. Its cool to know, but does not have any validity in todays social issues. NONE.
Current social issues starting with LBJ is where we need to start the discussion. The break up of the American family by democratic hand outs that allowed mothers to pump kids out for additional benefits by not having a male part in the picture started the issue.
The Great Society was a set of domestic programs in the United States launched by Democratic President Lyndon B. Johnson in 196465. The main goal was the elimination of poverty and racial injustice, and it was an abject failure. That one piece of legislation is the start of where we are at now.
That is just the beginning.
Looks like Spike Lee came up with an idea that could curb violence a bit.
