Blacks need welfare, affirmative action, gov't assistance, hiring quotas.
As a white guy growing up in the inner city, I was taught that pitying blacks because they're black is immoral. I think my parents got it right.
Sounds to me a lot like the mindset some slaveowners had, that blacks need to be owned as slaves because they can't handle freedom or living on their own/independence.
Edit: title should be is IT racist to you?
I've heard it said that the federal government is the "new plantation"...
which, for the last couple of generations, has handed out meager benefits to a downtrodden class of people, who've as a result become locked into a dependency upon these handouts to barely get along in life... and in the process have largely lost the initiative to break out of the endemic cycle of poverty...
in return, these unfortunate folks can be depended upon to turn out in droves at election time to cast their ballots for the candidates who will most likely keep those meager benefits coming... thus perpetuating their serfdom on the new plantation...
can anybody challenge this assessment...?
