The Democrats can't provide them with prosperity by taxing the rich. That is just their con.

Wow. So slavery was the slaves' fault? They just hadn't thought to form equality for themselves?

It
should entitle them to the same entitlements as other people unless there is a justifiable reason to exclude them. That reason (to exclude them) cannot be simply based on their gender, race, religion, sexuality, or other deeply personal, not reasonably changeable characteristics. This is the law in Canada. If that is not the law in the United States, I'm thankful that I don't live in the United States.
