It was Clinton that got the Welfare Reform Act done.
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.
Because he's keeping the white man racist agenda alive. The one that's been around since the infancy of our country. Keep people of color down. If you say it enough, people will believe it! LOL..gotta laugh at these morons. If he looks at the actual statistics, he will see whites make up the majority of welfare recipients. But NO..let's pick on those Blacks and Latinos why don't we! 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!
FYI, I'm Hispanic, and you're not only gravely mistaken, but you're holding to an utterly delusional viewpoint based on the prevalent Republican magical thinking.
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.
Whites aren't the problem? So it was Blacks who created the practice of red-lining? It was Blacks who denied themselves the benefits of the GI Bill? It's Blacks who voted in Jim Crow laws? It's Black police officers who shoot to kill innocent Blacks because they "thought" the person had a gun? Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
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.
Hispanic's NOT a race: Mitt Romney is a Hispanic. His father and 2 grandparents were born IN Mexico.
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.
Are you surprised? I'm not. Joe Walsh has, as far as I can tell, never been recorded saying anything intelligent, and the view that black people (of all groups) is somehow "dependent on government" is pretty common among republicans, so...
