Yesterday Rep. Allen West said he grew up with his role model and that was his father. West was part of panel discussion sponsored by the Congressional Black Caucus. As we look at the black family the sad reality is too many families do not have a father in the home. What happened to the black family? It has to be more than a dependency on the government? West used the term of “reward” in reference to black mothers having children out of wedlock is it really that simple or is it more? Tell me what you think.

Representative West is a dangerous man. He can sew the seed of thought that the solutions to problems in the black community do not lie with government programs, with handouts, with boycotts of companies that are perceived as “dissing” blacks, with leaders like Sharpton and Jealous and Jackson. The answers lie in hard work, getting the best possible education you can manage, getting and holding the best possible job you can and being GREAT at it, staying out of trouble with law enforcement, spending less than you make and investing the remainder for the future, and seeking avenues to success upward and onward like self-employment. If the black community embraces these values, the democratic party as we know it will cease to exist. Their leadership knows this, and that is why they are wary of West.
