You not only have to teach a man to fish you have to make it profitable enough to stop begging for fish and to want to fish himself.
The minorities in America have become used to being entitled and having everything given to them. At your expense and at mine. The democrats have made generations of Americans slaves just so they will have their vote come election days.
