The way to help the poor - minority or otherwise - is to strengthen their families (not weaken them) and to invest in providing them the skills and abilities that so many employers are searching for - and not finding.
More handouts won't do it. Set-asides won't do it. Minimum wage increases do nothing for people who don't have jobs in the first place - and drive out the few jobs there are. And for sure, Obamacare isn't helping the employment situation, especially at the lower tiers, even one little bit. Please don't bother arguing otherwise because there are already sufficient indisputable facts on this topic to smash you to smithereens.
On the other side of the coin, I don't hear any conservative ideas for substantive training programs - ideally including living assistance during training - that will bring the poor in line with employers' needs either, and I can't tell you how disappointing that is! Oh, sure, we have "programs"...many of them overlapping and none of them seemingly very effective. We need to get serious about this, and I expect politicians on my side of the aisle (to the extent that I have a side at all) to show some leadership here. To this point, I'm not seeing it.
