Tim Scott UNVEILS Truth: How Welfare Checks REPLACED Black Fathers

In a debate, Tim Scott argued that Black families have endured numerous hardships throughout history, such as slavery, poll taxes, and discriminatory laws. However, he contends that the most damaging obstacle was President Lyndon B. Johnson's Great Society programs. According to Scott, these welfare initiatives effectively removed the Black father from households by offering financial incentives, thereby undermining the family structure.

To provide context, the Great Society was a set of domestic programs launched by President Lyndon B. Johnson in the 1960s aimed at eliminating poverty and racial injustice. While the programs had various components, including education and healthcare, Scott's critique focuses on the welfare aspects that he believes incentivized single-parent households in the Black community.
