re: #291 majii

Let me speak from experience, Jason A. If we blacks had waited for others to feed and clothe us after the Civil War, most of us would be dead. We’re resilient because we’ve had to be which is something that the “Blacks are looking for handouts” tools never think about. My parents fed, housed, and clothed six kids and themselves without accepting one cent of government assistance. People like Bill O’Reilly say things, but they have no idea what they’re talking about. My dad was a federal government employee, my mom was a stay-at-home parent, but if one speaks to O’Reilly, I knew neither my mom nor my dad, but I did. They raised me and my brothers to adulthood and did a d*mn good job of it. Those who talk about other groups using stereotypes and scapegoating don’t know what the hell they’re talking about and are flapping their gums to create divisions among the U.S. population in an attempt to make themselves feel better because deep inside of themselves they know they’re some real b*st*rds.

What I really resent about the lie that African-Americans just want free stuff is that some of the most white and Republican areas of the country are the highest recipients of federal assistance. I don’t mind helping them but I resent white Republicans saying that black people are dependent on government and that’s why they vote Democratic.
