made by African Americans in American society, the Black community for the most part has
been in consistent and steady social decline. Due in large part to the corrupt ideology inherent

Second Wave Feminism Movement, having been started by relatively wealthy well do to
suburban White Women such as Betty Freidan(the Feminine Mystique) and Gloria Steinem,
attempted to apply their grievances at the ‘Patriarchal power structure holding women down’ to
the situation within the black community, promoting female independence from male
domination. Part of the issue is that this argument doesn’t hold up in the black experience,
where women were disproportionately economically empowered compared their male
counterparts. After Reconstruction, Black women were much more able to find steady
employment whether as a nannies, house workers, cooks, and child-care providers for wealthy
white families. Men, on the other hand, where much harder hit, competing with white lower class
men for jobs as laborers and low-skilled workers. Madam C.J. Walker became the first black
millionaire during the post-civil war era, sort of the Oprah Winrey of her time. The typical
argument of female economic disempowerment at the hands of males did not apply to the
African American experience as a while, in the insertion of that interpretation of history helped
served to shatter the relations between black men and women, with women applying their anger
at White Male power and advocating hat Black Woman get ‘free of their oppressors’ in the black
community. In the wake of the Black Power /movement, where there was a level of male
chauvinism on the certain organizations such as the Panthers,
Socialism inherently promoted he collective over the individual. This ideology has damaged the
black community by downplaying, and being outright hostile towards, individual achievement
and merit. People are claimed to have the ‘human right’ to things such as shelter, food, etc. This
may sound ‘compassionate’ on the surface,. But what happens in that people in power who tell
you that they want you to depend on them to survive inherently want you to become dependent
upon them—those in government al position—for your survival. This takes away the
fundamental human drive to work an d achieve for your survival and independence as a result,
the black community has languished in Government funded projects and urban ghettos.
Leftists have consistently opposed policies that would wean people-and especially blacks—off
the Big Government teat of dependence. Polices like the Welfare reform act of 1994 were
viciously opposed by the Progressive left due to it’s heartlessness’ and ‘leaving people behind’
to fend for themselves. What is ‘heartless’ about ‘teaching as man to fish’ so they he can stand
on his own two feet? This reveals the lie of the left that they are interest e dint eh uplift-ment of
the impoverished, because it is clear that only want the poor to be ‘empowered’ when it is
through the auspicious of THEIR control and political power, not on the people being self-
empowered and independently wealthy. Activists such as Marcus Garvey and Malcolm X have
advocated a much more effective strategy of authentic Black economic empowerment based on
WORK and entrepreneurial achievement, on the expectation of handouts which creates a
culture of laziness.
The progressive left has a longstanding distaste and contempt for merit. The only consistent
way for any group that is in weak position in term of economics is to replicate the strategy of
those who earn hier way to achieving wealth. Education, thrift, saving, investment, and hard
work in a situation with a strong, healthy family si the most stable method for that.
