Black women are among the most educated groups in the U.S. We’ve elected a black president. We have come a long way since Jim Crow. Challenges remain but government was never meant to be a permanent solution. It is time to dismantle all remnants of slavery and Jim Crow whether in social programs or voting laws. Temporary assistance was never intended to last forever. Yesterday the Supreme Court took another step in rolling back policies rooted in that legacy. Black Americans can stand on their own and have thrived with less government not more. Electing a black face pushing mostly progressive policies has not automatically translated into better outcomes for the black community.
