Well you pointed to his intent and not yours. We can definitely make informed decisions on the intent of others, but only the person making the statement truly knows his or her intent.

After just stating that only 33% of people receiving welfare are blacks, your article immediately states this bullshit? I've heard the term "welfare cheat" but NEVER have I heard it as another name for blacks EVER in my life and I actually work with welfare recipients on a daily basis. And, FYI, it seems to ME, that it's the DEMOCRATS that think only blacks are on welfare considering that anytime a Republican has mentioned any kind of welfare reform, there's always a cry of racism thrown in amongst all the criticisms towards said suggested changes. Why would Dems say welfare reform is racist if it's because they think only blacks are on welfare?

Did you read beyond that or just go into "DEMOCRATS" mode? RE: What Percentage of BLM Protestors Know What They're Protesting? - bfine32 - 08-16-2016 (08-16-2016, 08:26 PM)PhilHos Wrote: Wait, what?

Two things: Is that article 15 years old? It was definitely slanted to slam conservatives (read whitey). Not only did the article assert they consider African Americans "welfare cheats" it also tries to imply that they stereotype Asians as good at math.

And there is no way in hell you had never heard anything like that before. You don't live under a rock.

More importantly, yes, I've heard some racists claim blacks were on welfare and whatnot (though even they never used the phrase ' welfare cheat '), but I've not heard the average Republican nor the average white person say such a thing. If YOU have, then my question to you is why are you hanging around racists?

I cannot tell as you didn't link the source. To be fair, you do have a propensity of quoting only parts of a post, For instance you didn't even quote my whole post and it was quite short. So link Mike's comments and I will provide feedback.

Hold up, I'm curious about this one. The majority of which kids do not know who their dad is? Black kids? Kids whose moms are on welfare? Black kids whose moms are on welfare?

Why should I have to quote an entire post when I am only responding to part of it? Even more important why do you think this is a bad thing for me to do when you do the exact same thing? What is your point?

My point is when 2 folks are discussing a point it is unnecessary to link or make reference; as each other knows when/what they say, however, when we quote a 3rd party a link is helpful. Sometimes is just takes too long to scan the whole thread to find out exactly when someone else said something and as to the context. fredtoast Wrote:Silly me Answer as to why you should at least quote a complete sentence. As to Mike's comments: They seem to paint with a pretty broad brush.

Lyndon Johnson never felt is was a good idea to give welfare to single mother only if they did not know who the father was. That is a complete lie. 1. What ever he felt doesn't really matter, he signed it as part of his War on Poverty bill. If he was strongly against it, then he should've left it out. 2. *sighs, Of course not in the beginning. AS of today, we have had several generations of families living off of Welfare. Do you deny that? 3. Yes it was the same payments to all races, but the white race didn't have the majority of it's population living in poverty already (and yes, there is White Welfare Queens as well). Letting the government pay you was much more reliable than getting child support from a man with an education level no higher than High School/GED. Also with the way the bill was written, it penalized you if you got married vs remained single. The intentions were good in the beginning, but again, humans are greedy and will always find a way to abuse it. |
