Got this in an e-mail, wanted to share.
70 percent is white
but how much is the black percentage
cuz if u think about it there's alot more white ppl than blacks
i hate how yall try 2 mislead wit statistics
give the man a lil props sh*t, he did help end the cold war
Nobody is trying to mislead Blaze. Peep, there are WAY WAY more white people on welfare than black people therefore no matter what the percentage of black people are the government is spending way more money on white people on welfare than black people. Good point though. And as for Reagan ending the Cold War this is true but you can't measure a president on one act, examine his entire Presidency I am sure you will see what I'm sayin.

i C where ur comin from but...u said not mourning...thatz real harsh
anyway i C ur sayin how white ppl get more but itz all full circle is what i'm tryna say
there's more white ppl on welfare cuz there's more white ppl
it could also be said there's' more white ppl off welfare than black ppl off welfare
also more white ppl means they're payin more into the government anyway so i mean...it just seems clear 2 me how it should work out
however prosperity isn't an exclusively "white" trait...at least it shouldn't b but if we're dependin on welfare we'll only make so much anyway (lol welfare thing is a joke cuz of u n brova :wink: )
ooh lawd! I was just stating an example of a statistic not an actual statistic(notice I dodnt give # and % :roll: ) You are totally missin the point playa!
Im about to bold a couple of key points for you just in case you weren't reading....
-The gov't dosen't have to do anything for you, do for yourself dammit!
-I dont know about you, but when I bring home my checks from work, I feel like more of a man than if I were to get one in the mail the first of the month...sorry.
-I never made this a color issue, you did, I just was saying get ur OWN weight up.
I understand and realize that security is provided by the feds thus we pay taxes but for evrything else, please...Dont need their help.
....'ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country...."
Haha good luck to you in the future my brotha. I find it extremely hypocritical that you feel you have to state you are concious and afrocentric when your political views place you in the top tier of NEOCONSERVATIVES across the nation. Honestly, let me ask you a question if you tell ANY black leader, democrat or for educated person for that sake, the stuff you just told me, how do you think they would look at you. Now let me respond for the last time to your comments...
-The government does have to do something for you. You are one of those people who just sit back and let your elected officals do what they want with the country. I am not, I am a voting citizen and I demand that my voice be heard and the government serve me... Not the other way around.
-Who the f*ck was talkin about the feeling you get when getting paid. F dat, I'm talking about real life and the situations that real people are. Key point, "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" is all fine and dandy but F dat somepeople need those bootstraps first.
-Hahaha :lol: Reagan made it a race issue buddy. And your ignorant "black welfare" comment definetly made it a race issue.
But don't worry you are not the only person who thinks like you. There are many many NEOconservatives in the world. All in all good debate. I still respect you as a brotha just not as a politican!
You know what...starting now, Im going to adopt HU_Intellect's way of thinking....
-Im going to quit my job right now, cuz hey, the gov't got my ****
-F dat, Im going to sit around the house like a pregnant mexican. why? cuz the gov't got me
- Im going to hoot and holla as much as I can, even though im hollerin about a bunch of nuthin, im going to do it just to Prove My Blackness.
-Im going to call everyone ignorant that doesnt agree with my '**** gonna sell me tonite' mind set.
-Im going to call everyone a racist that looks out for the rich, even though there are rich blacks, **** always taught me that all blacks are dirt poor and need to be helped---so imma believe him......
Ya dig?
Ummmm... you amuse me slightly, but in a dumb a*s, point my finger and laugh at you kinda way. I could respond to your ignorace and make my I'm going to adopt Black"wish I was a"brotha's way of thinking, but your words speak volumes. Instead of me making you look even more ignorant than you have already made yourself look.... I will simply point and laugh :lol: :lol: :lol:
Key Points
-U know why ur amused? The same reason I am......Because this is how u sound....
-No, patna, im 110% brotha ova here---no need to do nothing extra to prove it either.....(but that "wish is was a brotha" thing was funny though... :lol: )
-You keep saying im speaking volumes, but what you are saying (typing) isnt even worth a sentence. The same 'woe is me' argument...TIRED
-The more you say (type) the word ignorant, the more ignorant u sound (seem) "......u isa buh ignoranta buh......... "
- Please dont make personal attacks, keep it to the subject at hand....
