on this I would agree if this nation would ever break away from her racist past .... We trying but still have a long way to goMy question is when will Politicains quit pandering to special interests and stop seeing people as members of a group based on skin color. People are individuals, skin color should be irrelevant. To me the term "the black community" is just as divisive as if he had said "the white community".
my point is YOU only stated blacks should get off
so does stereotyping.![]()
actually if you only mention one you are not including the other.... Example ... Fdd2blk blows (glass).... now did I include others just because I did not mention them...NOPEso.
just because i don't mention others, doesn't mean they aren't included.
fact...MORE whites are on welfare then Blacks...now if we talking percentage then yes more blacks then whites, but if we talking just on pure amount of people..then more Whites then Blacks....I have zero problem with anyone on welfare who really needs it...just don't go and say you are going to speak to only one group when you have another group taking more from the pot...
He put out there that he wants blacks to have paychecks and not foodstamps.
Newt can go talk about equality in America...and when I talk I'm talking raw numbers in the end thats what it all comes down to. and again white take more welfare then blacks, so Newt need to speak with them to...The point was made earlier in the thread that only proportionality makes sense. No social scientist will talk about raw numbers. There are, by any sound reasoning, three times the incidence of welfare recipiency among blacks as among whites.
If Newt went to NAACP and talked about anything OTHER than black america then he would be a racist for that. He could have found a better way to put it, but I totally agree that blacks in america will be better off if they stop relying so much on the government and strive more for personal accomplishment and self-sufficiency. And they seem to need somebody to lecture them on that although whoever does will automatically be a racist. I recall Bill Cosby saying the same thing and they attacked him, too.
Because the inciidence is three times higher in the black population than in the white population, it is more of a sociological problem there. Duh.
I find it kind of funny that people are really arguing that it's acceptable for Newt to single out a specific race. Really guys?

I find it kind of funny that people are really arguing that it's acceptable for Newt to single out a specific race. Really guys? Must be the same ones who argued the AZ immigration law wasn't racially charged, or that it wouldn't have discriminatory results... Oh, those same people think it's okay for a business owner to deny service based on anything they want - including race(LOL PROPERTY RIGHTS GUYS). Cool.

later newt claims he won't apologize for wanting to help the black community.
Newts explanation:
"they took totally out of context half of a sentence, clearly as someone who served with colin powell and condi rice, i have a good sense of african american's contributions to america"
"i said i was willing to go to the naacp convention and talk to african americans about the importance of pay checks over food stamps"
yea we heard you the first time lmao...
Other famous newt quotes used in the video above:
"we should teach bi-lingual children the language of prosperity, english and not the language of the ghetto"
"combat means living in a ditch, women can't survive combat because they can't live in a ditch for 10 days for biological reasons"
"palenstenians are an invented people"
