Quote from L-Kabong:
You make it sound like they are a pestilence, or an infestation. Where did the Liberals come from when they moved into the cities? Liberal suburbia and Liberal urban areas? No!
In the early 20th century La Follete and the liberal progressive movement emerged in the cities and their environs, where major industry and light manufacturing was centered and harsh working conditions existed. The Postwar liberal movement descended from the Progressives.
Modern urban decay began with exodus of the rural southerners black to the Northern cities, and white to the southern cities. They brought with them the
white cracker mentality of dereliction, violence, law breaking, morality trespassing, all hallmarks of southern rural peoples from time of settlement and into the 20th century. The southern black absorbed in toto the White Cracker mentality and culture and their descendants jealously guard it today. Both races created terrible problems in the cities, but not much different from earlier generations of immigrants such as in New York and Boston. The difference has been the continued inability of some of these groups to make their way out of their miserable states, generation after generation. Liberal welfare policies have clearly played a significant role in the perpetuation of ghetto cultures and ghetto economics, but so has an intransigence and insistence among ghetto cultures to remain "authentic", which means, remaining cracker, and not acting "white".
