For Democrats, solving black problems would be like killing the Goose that lays the Golden Eggs. Keeping blacks needy and dependent by prescribing bad solutions for them, is what allows the Democrats to keep reaping dividends from the black vote.
I'm so tired of reading foolish statements like this. So, let's try to replace fiction with facts. Below is a graphic of unemployment rates for Blacks and Whites in America from 1972 thru 2011. Pay close attention; you're about to learn something here. Notice that except for 1973 and 2008, unemployment for Blacks were at their lowest under Democrat presidencies.

So, when you say "solving black problems" you have the problem solving in the wrong context. As a Black man, I don't expect government to solve my problems for me. But I DO expect government to help create the conditions whereby the biggest problem any of us have - finding meaningful, sustainable work to at least meet my basic survival needs - IS solved. That's the thing guys like you don't get.
You complain about "redistribution of wealth" in the form of entitlement programs, but you never look at the statistics that show beyond a shadow of a doubt that those entitlements and, thus, that wealth redistribution for many Blacks was necessary due to such consistently high unemployment that always seem to reach their peaks when a Republican is in the White House. By the way, is very inconsistent with the Party's mantra of "the only way to defeat poverty is with private sector job growth". Well, jobs for whom?
Look at the chart.
Jobs for whom, sir?
As for the voter loyalty aspect you attribute to Blacks to the Democrat Party, I posted the following in another thread recently (
slightly modified to more clearly address the charge levied):
The great mystery as to why minorities (Blacks) now tend to vote as a block for Democrats than for Republicans: survival and problem solving.
You see, during the age of Lincoln, the Republican Party did the Negro one helluva solid by emancipating the slaves. But they failed in one regard: They didn't seek to educate the Black man nor did the Party seek to put forward any means whereby the freed slave could see employment beyond the plantation. They expected that such things would occur naturally. But it didn't nor could it. Fast-forward to present day and many White people still fail to realize that despite the "government handout" in the form of social entitlements, those handouts wouldn't be necessary if the unemployment rate for Blacks more equaled that of our White counterparts.
Notice, too, that per the last line of the above quote, the ONLY time the unemployment rate for Blacks and White were nearly identical was from 2007-2009. One brief time in 50 years!
So, when the Republican Party starts practicing what they preach and help create the conditions whereby Blacks and White can find decent work that will subsequently afford them to pay for a quality education for the next generation or two so that we, as a people, can begin to lift ourselves out of poverty, then we'll stop looking to the Democrat Party to "solve Black problems". Because the Republican Party by the numbers don't seem to be doing much of anything for us. Hell, they don't even act like they want us as evidenced by your very commentary.
