26. Well, when someone uses racists language to state that Black People should want jobs instead

of food stamps, while calling this President "The Food Stamp" president, and saying that the youth (read that Black youth) should be janitors being paid under the minimum wage....I'm gonna pull out the stats and spread them, and I don't give a fuck if some don't think it is "helpful" (whatever that really means) since it is all relative anyways.

You can believe that what we are talking about here is all about the economy if you want....because I know better. Newt's references are racial and nothing but....both when he stereotypes Black people as well as when he emphasize that this is the Black President who likes giving out food stamps.

So you go ahead and do what you do in the realm of politics,
and I'll do what I do...cause I won't be allowing a White man who is running for President and who wants White America to blame Black Americans for 30 years of White men’s policies that has kept 99% of White People poor to get away with making racist ass comments.
You may not care that much....and so be it!
