It's plain obvious. He keeps stating that the average black person is on welfare and unemployed. Everything he says about black Americans is always negative. Why doesn't he focus on the progressive black communities in America? or discuss the middle class Black people in the Bermuda?

Saying that 90% of Black voters are typically ignorant does seem to indicate a negative view.

I don't think so.
. who does? Would even David Duke assert that. Even Duke is not dumb enough to say something like that. Nice strawman, never said he said ALL

Everything he/she says about black Americans is always negative? He/she said positive things about his/her black friends.

I don't think he/she said that the average black person is on welfare or unemployed, merely that a higher percentage of black people are compared to white people.

This whole thread is stupid..
Im not going to even play the race card. I'm just going to say many just do not know.

I just want to say if you haven't lived the life of a black person (a black male more specifically) in the ghetto/hood than you can not truly know what is awarded or is offered to them point blank period.

I wish you can travel one day in the shoes of a minority in the ghetto and I would want to see if it is so easy to do what yall discuss

Well many are, just as many white people are, and it's a fact that the percentage of black people on welfare or unemployed is higher than the percentage of white people on welfare or unemployed.

That's a lie, I never said that and I don't believe that to be true. I've said tons of things that are positive about black people, you haven't been here long enough to make any of the statements you've made unless you've been banned and came back under a new name.

So....living in the ghetto precludes graduating high school? Learning a trade/going to college? Using a condom/not having sex? Marrying the woman you have a child with? Not committing crime? Not going to prison?

Those poor ghetto dwellers. It must be a horrible, horrible life not being able to make the decisions in life that actually matter.

Sorry. No sympathy from me in America 2012.

This is why Blacks will never vote Republican:
Gingrich to black people: paychecks, not food aid
What's so bad about that? Basically he's telling blacks to demand jobs over being dependent on the government for their welfare. Nothing racist about that at all. Some black leaders have said similar things over the years.
