This discussion has veered off course. I just have a simple question, do you think that Republicans telling Blacks to stop being lazy and get off welfare is a good way of increasing Black membership in the GOP. Please try to stay on topic

Affirmative action, quotas, diversity programs. No excuses anymore, pal. Wake up.

Gingrich told a town hall meeting at a senior center in Plymouth, N.H., that if the NAACP invites him to its annual convention this year, he'd go there and talk about "why the African-American community should demand paychecks and not be satisfied with food stamps."
And again, why would he assume the hundred year-old organization that was created to provide equall acces to employment, legal protection, and business loans, and that actively works to bring private employers into black communities, is "satisfied with food stamps", and needs a good lecture on how they should "demand paychecks"?

I can't think of a white person being jealous or envious of a black person.
What is there to be jealous and envious about?

Just about everything. You are pretty much obsessed with everything we do. You study every aspect of us and our culture, constantly talking about how we live, how we mate, how we reproduce, etc. There's an entire site dedicated to hating on us (Stormfront). We are always on your mind.

No it won't it will do the opposite

The way he said it.. when i saw it, my thoughts were he basically saying all black people

and another reason is that i never here criticism from any republican contender about their own constituents. but only about the gays, Latinos, and now blacks..never about the majority of their constituents - whites except Ron Paul
-have watched numerous gop debates

And This is coming from a independent (NOT Rep/dem) college student who parents (mother and father/married )are fierce Black Republicans (Texas)

ps. my parents do not like any republican contender.

I know there was another one claiming that many federal jobs were going to Blacks. So which one is it, are the refusing to apply for jobs, or are they taking all the jobs???
