unfortunately, the reason why you are one of the first to condemn his comments are because you are one of the few conservative white males who do not believe what he says.
The idea that we are divided into different races based on variances in our skin pigmentation is patently absurd. There is only one race, the human race.

What we should all be especially concerned about are all of the racists who are devoted to dividing everybody up by their skin color and trying to incite them towards animosity against each other, including this Republican in Mississippi, Barack Obama, Eric Holder, and the vast majority of Congressional Democrats.

Whoever promotes this crap should be loudly condemned by everyone, regardless of their politics. Anyone who only criticizes politicians who behave in a racist fashion only as long as they are on the "other side," is in fact a racist themselves.

Those people who are doing that are racists themselves, one and all.

Proportionate to their percentage of the US population, no. Resoundingly NO.

So what??????????

Let's say you have 100 black people and 10 of them are on welfare. That's 10% of the blacks.

Now lets say you have 10,000 white people and 5% of them are on welfare. That 500 whites on welfare. the percentage is lower but SO WHAT? It's STILL 50 times as many whites on welfare as there are blacks.

So What???????

Seems fairly racist to me.

Wonder what the actual stats are for that town.

I'll leave it to his constituents to decide his fate.

In my experience Blacks are less motivated than other races.

mohawkx math

So based on your statistics there will be 50 times as many whites supporting less of a percentage of their race on handouts. Seems like the math is in their favor.

The whole percentage "thing" you whites keep flogging is an attempt to demonstrate that minorities are lazier and more shiftless than whites. It's just another method of diminishing and marginalizing the minorities. First demonize, then eliminate. White man's tried and true modus operandi.
The truth is, the opportunities available to the minorities are far less than for whites. Go into any Indian school funded by the US government or any school in a predominantly black neighborhood. check it out closely.
Now go into any school in a predominently white neighborhood and you will see a whole world of difference. It's almost like a different country. White man's latest push is for private school vouchers that will exclude all minorities from receiving an adequate education to be competitive in today's job market. And that's only one area of unequal opportunity that drives the percentage up for minorities that need assistance.

Whenever I see Laqueesha get on the bus with 6 little ones she can't visibly support by any means and think of family member who are in households that are two income and yet those family members can't afford to have a family, it makes my blood boil to the point of serious.
