What the heck are you talking about? Who said the African American community was in step with socialism at all?
What African Americans know better than white folks is that a society is only as strong as its weakest link. So if our society does not figure out ways to lift up the people on the bottom, eventually our society suffers. That can be with programs like Head Start, school breakfasts, tutoring, mentoring, after school care, etc. This is not socialism; this is wisdom. If we don't try to lift up our poor, the consequences to our society are grave. And anyone who calls himself or herself a Christian should be working for the poor anyway, according to my Bible.

It's unknown and irrelevant. There is no movement toward "full blown socialism". In fact, people get fewer benefits from the government than ever. Just ask the Katrina victims.

Only the fake-conservative strategizers are looking for people "wanting full blown socialism".

Slavery - Capitalism
Sharecropping - Capitalism
Workplace discrimination - Capitalism
If the "invisible hand" kept beating my family and I down, then I'd think I'd want an alternative to capitalism too.
