People were infuriated by his comments/attitude and kept saying "It's OUR money."

Typical.
It WAS our money but after the stimulus bill was passed it became his, it seems.

It doesn't work, and that money has to come from somewhere in the effort to establish a more productive society. So again, I ask, who gave anybody the right take money from some because they determined it benefits them?

If that isn't the case you are making, then please explain to me the larger scale initiatives made to address the underclass that doesn't involve federally or state allocated monies from the public coffers.
You just brought up what Oba mao said to Joe the Plumber about redistribution of wealth being a good thing. Take it from those who have and give it to those who do not have. So unfair and sad, but that is the way most socialists think.

Was there a separate line for white people that they didn't show?
I thought it was funny and I don't think the poster was trying to be offensive; just making an observation. Is it racist to observe things now?

The better question is if you think I'm such a race baiter then why do you keep reading my posts?

You got it and understood it. It was a fine line I walked with that post but you understood I meant no harm or prejudice by it. Coming from you that means alot. Thanks.

The saddest part about watching this vieo for me is that is shows the extent of just how far apart the Black underclass is from the rest of American society.

As painful as it is for me to state this....not only can the Black underclass not relate to White Americans; as a group, they can not even relate to middle and upper class Black Americans. As a group they have been polarized to the point where they have NO political or socioeconomic power. They trust no one (this includes Blacks of higher socioecon standing) and many have a take what you can get attitude because all they have known for generations is a hand-to-mouth existence.

They are used as political pawns by the Left and their mere existence is a scourge to the Right. The poor Blacks of America are the junkyard dog who gets kicked by everyone who happens to walk by.

America can not afford to not address the fundamental problems which affect Blacks of the underclass. They deserve this because they too are Americans.

It's more like...
They are used to their detriment as political pawns by the Left and because of that their mere existence has turned into a scourge the Left uses to demonize the Right.
