"If we have an honest discussion on whether the war on poverty should be fought with welfare or with economic growth in the private sector, Democrats will lose black votes"
- Alveda King
About this Quote
This quote by Alveda King suggests that if there is an open and sincere conversation about how to best battle hardship, Democrats will lose the support of black citizens. This implies that black citizens are most likely to support well-being programs as a method to fight poverty, while Democrats may prefer to concentrate on economic growth in the private sector. This might be because welfare programs are viewed as a more direct way to assist those in hardship, while economic growth in the economic sector may not be seen as having as much of an immediate impact. It is possible that black voters may feel that Democrats are not doing enough to help those in poverty, which well-being programs are a more reliable way to do so.
