COMMENTARY | Rep. Joe Walsh, R-Ill., has again inserted foot into mouth by making some ignorant comments in regard to Hispanics, blacks and welfare. Last week at a Town Hall
meeting, Walsh told constituents the Democratic Party wants Hispanics and blacks to be dependent on government
and also said civil rights leader Jesse Jackson wants the same thing.
He only said this because its true. Democrats do want blacks and hispanics to be dependent.

Gosh, OP, that's a given.

It's politically incorrect to say, and electorially (if that was even a word) damaging. But there is a lot of truth in that quote.

Default That's a purely insulting and irrational view of blacks and Hispanics.

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.

I didn't see that as an attack on "people of color".

Not just minorities. They want *everybody* to be dependent. Then they are in control.

"People of color" is racist terminology.

There is truth to that. The cities that have been electing Democratic mayors for a while are still the same cesspools they've been since the 80s. Nothing has changed, except every election year they scare minorities into thinking that the evil Republican is going to take their benefits away. Not true

The widespread adoption of this term by the left speaks volumes about the racist perspective thereof, and dovetails well with Rep. Walsh's point.

You ever thought that maybe people of color that work and are not on welfare might not want that label put on them? Or is it as I suspect that tea party people only get angry when they see POC use assistance therefore these tea party people have to mention people of color when they talk about welfare.
