President Biden supposedly has put tons of effort into improving the lives of minorities but the result is the reverse. Horace Cooper’s book “Put Y’all Back in Chains: How Joe Biden’s Policies Hurt Black Americans” looked into the disconnect between what blacks are told versus how they actually are. The cynicism is revealed in the book’s title. Cooper went through Biden’s policies to see what their impact was.
Blacks are held back
Cooper offers practical solutions that would work instead of the “systemic racism” Democrats scream to make sure minorities stay dependent on government. The book shows government’s parasitic relationship with minorities.
Democrats needs blacks to focus on racism and not pay attention to forging ahead with their dreams. This directs African Americans to run to the Democrat party. At the same time, the party really doesn’t need to produce any constructive paths to help them out of their wallow.
Blacks were doing more than whites
At the beginning of the 20th century, African Americans were more employed and transacting more homes than whites. What happened? Cooper says government happened. “Heavy-handed economic regulation kills.” This intervention is supposedly to “help” them when in fact it doesn’t and it’s been intentionally used since the 1920’s.
The Biden administration has so far done this the worst. Before COVID, under President Trump African American unemployment was hitting record lows, numbers not seen in a half century. Biden brought in a toxic combination of lockdowns, forced vaccinations, new regulations and inflation. Blacks are worse off now than they were before.
Lockdowns and vaccines
Both of those harmed blacks more. Through blue collar jobs that couldn’t be worked remotely and that more African Americans refused the shot which left them without a job. But the federal government, who employs a large number of African Americans, was untouched.
There were other pandemic responses that hurt such as California’s AB5 and Davis-Bacon, the “anti-black” union law to smack down through the gig economy. In addition, Biden’s attack on energy prices made it tough for African Americans to find and hold jobs, reversing gains made through Trump.
