Racist hater.
Another hypocritical response. According to republicans, its democrats who always deflect and avoid answering a topic, and will call somebody a racist. Again, pot meet kettle.

Today, 90% of republicans view David Duke as a hero even though he has not really been successful. Republicans think that it is important to get the message out that white skinned people are superior to all other skin shades.

Would you rather be black, or black?

Sometimes the question cannot be answered because it's a really stupid question.


A non-stupid question would have gotten an answer. How about this one: Would I rather emulate Rush Limbaugh or Jimmy Carter? Both are white guys, but are on opposite ends of the political spectrum. My answer to that INTELLIGENT question would be Jimmy Carter.

See how that works?

Oh really, Quote from Topics forum....

With regard to AFDC the figures are:

White 38.8%
Black 39.8
Hispanic 15.7
Asian 2.4
other 3.3

To break down these numbers, we look at how many Whites are in the population as a WHOLE. If Blacks make up less 14% of the population and are almost 40% of all receipients, then they represent about 2.5 times their actual population. Since Whites are over 50% of the total US pop., they represent less than their overall piece of the pie, population-wise. Hispanics are at least 15% of the general population, so they take only about as much as what their population represents. Why am I writing this? Because I am tired of the misrepresentations on this issue. I read so many on here claiming that more Whites are on welfare than Blacks (true, in terms of raw numbers), yet not accounting for the fact that there are over 4X as many Whites in this country than Blacks! In statistics, you cannot go by mere numbers. Only if the playing field is exactly equal, which is rarely is! This thread was started, not to be racist, but to keep it real. After all, there are some legitimate reasons for Blacks to be on welfare more than Whites. But the worst thing anyone can do is be in denial.

You choose to break it down by percentage group, we can break it down in total. We can play this game all day. You throw out a stat, manipulate the way you want, and we can turn around and do the same thing.

So you presume to speak for 90% of Republicans? That's pretty cute.

And your post has me wondering if you could think of ANYTHING to say that would be MORE self-incriminating...

Yes, you have proven that to be true, by doing it.

Now... Let's talk about PER CAPITA statistics. Fair enough?
