I got this from a friend of mine, and I'm hoping someone can verify it... or just explain it. If Mitt REALLY said this, he must be pandering to the "white" vote. I just hope it's not something he said.
"I understand how difficult it can be for an African-American in today's society. In fact, I can relate to black people very well indeed. My ancestors once owned slaves, and it is in my lineage to work closely with the black community. However, just because they were freed over a century ago doesn't mean they can now be freeloaders. They need to be told to work hard, and the incentives just aren't there for them anymore. When I'm president I plan to work closely with the black community to bring a sense of pride and work ethic back into view for them". - Mitt Romney.
Somebody please tell me he didn't say this.
