Black But Not Blue: Why Black Americans Must Leave The Democrat Party (eBook, ePUB)

Produktbeschreibung

Fourteen years ago, I bought a one-way train ticket and left Michigan. After growing up in Detroit, going to college, and then graduate school, I could not find a full-time position. I was still working the job I'd gotten a month after I graduated from high school. The only thing that had changed was that I could no longer work full-time because the economy was so bad. With a mountain of student debt, three part-time jobs and the constant struggle to make rent and take care of myself, I realized I had to leave Michigan if I wanted my life to get better.

During my search for a new place to live, I looked for states with good economies, fiscally responsible governments, and low crime. I ended up moving to Utah, and it was the best decision I've ever made. Over time, I've been able to compare my life in Utah with my life in Michigan. My only regret is that didn't move sooner.

As a black woman growing up in Detroit, certain messages were passed along to me that weren't helpful. I didn't get the full Democrat victim mentality treatment because my parents sacrificed and sent my sisters and I to private school, but after being accepted to Cass Technical High School - a place that was supposed to be a good public school, I was exposed to the backwards thinking that has infiltrated Detroit and every major city that has a concentration of black residents. The definition of insanity, some say, is doing the same thing repeatedly and thinking the results are going to be different. How long have black people tethered themselves to the Democrat Party? Almost sixty years and the results are in. The time for change is now.
