Gingrich, during an appearance in Plymouth, New Hampshire, spoke about remarks he would theoretically make if invited to speak to the NAACP.
"I'm prepared, if the NAACP invites me, I'll go to their convention and talk about why the African American community should demand paychecks and not be satisfied with food stamps," Gingrich said.

His arrogance and ignorance?
If Gingrich were serious about jobs for black people, he would suggest a program where poor city blacks are taught how to install and maintain solar panels, which would be subsidized by tax breaks for companies that hire workers.
THAT'S how you break the cycle of poverty, give them the TOOLS to escape it, instead of simply insisting they pull themselves up by their bootstraps, like mere MERIT is all that is required in today's work environs.
This is my opinion only. But, people weather black,white, yellow, brown are on food stamps for years and years. They must be satisfied with them or they would try to change it. Work 2 or 3 jobs or whatever it takes to get off of them. I know some people who have been on them their whole adult life ( My sister being one of them) and to them that is part of their income so they do not even try to better themselves to get off of them. People on the left feel they are entitled to this just for breathing. Sorry your not entitled to it. You should work for it. I believe that food stamps or welfare should be a stepping stool not a way of life.

you ignore that he singled out black people. Why?
the same thing that makes the right think you're defaming the tweeting twit if you say she's into black guys.

They are the ones most need of help. They need motivation and don't have it.

"I'm prepared, if the NAACP invites me, I'll go to their convention and talk about why the African American community should demand paychecks and not be satisfied with food stamps," Gingrich said.
The former House speaker has made a habit of calling President Obama the "food stamp president" -- a nickname he used on Thursday as well -- and has often painted the contrast between himself and Mr. Obama as a choice between paychecks and food stamps.
"The fact is, if I become your nominee we will make the key test very simple: Food stamps versus paychecks," Gingrich said. "Obama is the best food stamp president in American history. More people are on food stamps today because of Obama's policies than ever in history. I would like to be the best paycheck president in American history."
The use of food stamps in America has continued to climb in recent years, and hit an all-time high of nearly 45 million in 2011.
