I guess that was my real question. Is this about racial comments are political comments?
you are sounding like a racist yourself implying being against welfare and being for self sufficiancy is anti african american.
What a crock. Post 'em.

Continually amazed that you persist with half-truths and lies about someone you hate because of his half-truths and lies.
Ah, the wonder of LG
Jessie Jackson on New York - "Hymietown." Ray Nagin on NOLA - "Chocolate City." Obama on his grandmother - "Typical white person." Warren Ballentine to Juan Williams on O'Reilly last night - "Get back on the porch Juan." Racists?
Now, now, I posted the ones that had been debunked and settled on the ones for which there either was outright proof or in many cases an admission by RL.
You are making much more out of his comments then is there - just like RL does. Congrats you are what you criticize.
Nagin -- now we can into that whole interesting debate of whether a black is racist for making a remarks derisive of black people, generally. Interesting subtopic.
Try being a white mayor and saying you want it to be a Vanilla city. See if anyone suggests you are a racist. He was suggesting he wanted the city to be black e.g. whitey stay out.
Obama -- I believe in context he was speaking as to typical reaction to racial issue by white persons, right? I think in context it was not derisive of inherent attribute of a race.
Sure it is (if RLs are) because he's stereotyping reactions to white folk.
Balentine -- not familiar but on the face of it that's bad and he should be rebuked for it.
Not aware of any of them with decades-long record of snide innuendo or outright comments critical of a race for stereotypical stuff. In fact, that may be the worst part of RL's racism -- its really cheap and ordinary. He's not even clever about it.
You excused several comments by others with reasons why they might not be racist yet you conclude without a doubt that RL is racist. For example, you posted a comment about RLs comments about Spike Lee's Malcolm X. If you look at the context, he's saying why not let the students get the real MALCOLM X experience by looting and bombing ---- things Malcolm X did! He's not saying this is what black people do. It is what MX did and if little Spike wants them to have the full experience then they should emulate MX.
It is only if you assume that those programs are inherently tied to a particular race, and that thought process and linkage is BY FAR the most prevalent remaining example of racism in this country, IMO.
.
it's your party that likes to label people racists if they are againt welfare and affirmitive action.
Only when the person who is against those programs is against them because they believe some combination of a) minorities are by and large lazy and taking advantage of the rest of us taxpayers; b) minorities utilize these programs disproportiantely to their actual need; c) minorities overutilize these programs because their family structures are lacking and because they do not plan their families well; d) all of the above.
Based on his lengthy and documented history of comments on the subject, I think RL is definitely in the (d) category.
Assuming you are correct and that others have made racist statements, and even of one credits them for having a record as consistent as RL on the subject, how would that be supportive of RL's application?

Explain how b and c aren't exactly true?

Do you think that b and c are true because of some inherent and immutable trait in the minority population? Or because something socio-economic, such as a long history of economic distress (relative, that is, to their white counterparts?) In other words, if b and c are true, is it true because of race, or is race a proxy for it?

I assume you think you know the answer. What I know is that introduction of mandated welfare exacerbated the problem, on a massive scale. It's not limited to race. The stats suggest that your proxy argument might be true, but it's one sorry ass excuse.
Where my folks were from, everyone was broke. There is no relative level of broke. Some found a way, some didn't.
It's not genetic, but it is generational and getting worse.
