I would argue that the objective evidence shows that big government is not a friend to African Americans.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Big and oppressive government has long been the enemy of freedom, something black Americans know all too well.
I don't think there's enough breadth to the stories told about African-Americans.
I believe that when it comes to major foreign policy issues, many prefer to have black people seen and not heard.
Black people cannot look to government to solve their problems.
I believe in limited government. I know what the welfare state has done to the black community.
The relationship of black Americans to Obama is sociologically riveting.
Part of what our problem as blacks in America is that we don't claim that. Partly, you see, because of the linguistic environment in which we live.
Like any group that has endured much, African Americans have created a strong and mutually reinforcing sense of group identity. That's not a bad thing in and of itself.
I want to make sure we have elected people constantly looking at helping the African-American community.
I am not prejudiced against the Negro. When I was governor, I did more to help the Negroes in our State than any previous Governor, and I think you can find Negro leaders in the State who will attest to this fact.
