you are either very young or have a terrible memory.

clinton vetoed welfare reform not once, but twice. finally, kicking and screaming, he reluctantly signed a third iteration that was little different from the first two.

Incredible.
Who's keeping Blacks and Hispanics on welfare? It ain't the evil white man.

So more anglo white people are on welfare: I'll say out of 100 whites there's LESS of us on welfare than Blacks or "Hispanics" using the same numbers. Sheesh!

I strongly urge you do spend time doing some reading (history might be beneficial to you), and cease kneeling and genuflecting before the myriad of extremely low I.Q. Republican commentators whenever these spew their anal impactions.
That comment of republicans of extreme Low IQ is also a racist comment.

Who was posting here a couple of weeks ago, to get your guns to fight Obama's race war? Who posted "Too bad [Owens] wasn't packing heat. He could have taken out a bunch of 'em. These people need exterminating." It wasn't the Black members.
Uh; you forget a few groups like us Irish "Irish Need Not Apply" people, Chinese and the Jews. Those people were treated probably as bad as Blacks and WORSE than Hispanics back in the day. The Jews and Chinese didn't let prejudice get in their way for many reasons.

Jim Crow's been dead for what; 50 years now? Obama is now President. If Obama could do well; why not other Blacks?

Hispanics: many of them WANT to stay in the barrios yet Italians who are almost the same culture WANTED to become American and speak English instead of the old language. Italians had to deal with prejudice from the anglos back in the day too.

Sorry no, Romney isn't Hispanic. Hispanic is a culture and he had no ancestors from Spain. If you don't practice that culture then it doesn't matter what country you or your ancestors were born in. Mitt is ethnically non-hispanic white.

Only we black folks get labeled as extreme as we do.
