Black & Blue 1. Main Point- The main point of this article was to explain why we can’t just get rid of bureaucratic agencies and how there also a social model for America. 2. Summary- The article “Black and Blue,” by Walter Russell Mead talks about the bureaucracy agencies and why there really helpful for America. A lot of people like me used to think that if there was less bureaucratic and less statist society can be a “richer and happier one”, but were not thinking about the consequences it can have when you take away these bureaucracy. Russell also uses the African Americans as an example and explains how bureaucracy has helped them in there politics. He said that there is a blue social model that is followed and getting rid of it would cause a lot of problems and would affect a lot of people. 3.
