I would have thought if you have a national monument to you in D.C. your image would be public domain.

National Monument? MLK has his own federal holiday, something no cracker has. (Jesus had one but they took that away as not to offend people. And even though there are more Christians than blacks in this country it was PC to give a brutha a day)

But I'll bet obama gets his.

Uhh, Christmas is still a national holiday, as is Washington’s birthday and Columbus Day (Christopher Columbus). Assuming by "cracker" you mean a white person.

Ummm Newt never said "black people should be happy with paychecks not food stamps"

Quote:“More people have been put on food stamps by Barack Obama than any president in American history,” Gingrich says in the video, set to soaring music. “I’m going to continue to find ways to help poor people learn how to get a job, learn how to get a better job and learn someday to own the job.”

Quote:“Most of these schools ought to get rid of the unionized janitors, have one master janitor and pay local students to take care of the school,” Gingrich said according to a CNN video. “The kids would actually do work, they would have cash, they’d have pride in the schools, they’d begin the process of rising. Get any job that teaches you to show up on Monday. Get any job that teaches you to stay all day, even if you’re having a fight with your girlfriend.”

Is the work 'black' in there anywhere... Newt made Williams, who I generally like, look like a fool. Newts daughter did work as a Janitor... That was the best part of the whole thing..

You are correct in that he used "African-American" versus "black".

“I will go to the NAACP convention and explain to the African-American community why they should demand paychecks instead of food stamps,” said Newt Gingrich at a town hall meeting in New Hampshire.

Oh he said African American, excuse me. I guess that makes it okay.

What should whitey, call blacks now? What words should we bannish now? To make them feel comfortable? Blacks being the victim of whitey.

Sum – It was a sarcastic response to the claim that Newt never made the comment about “blacks”.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sarcasm

Back in high school and college I worked part time at an electrical wholesaler. Whenever someone mentioned a colored guy, that blacks would ask “what color is he”.

A couple of years ago a black friend of ours stayed with us a couple of months. One night when we were having Ham and collard greens, he said the correct term was “colored”, not “collard”. So I asked him why it was called the “National Association of Collard People”.

In my opinion, it matters not the term that is used, it is more the intent. We are all people, with some different demographics.

Multiple Choice Question (Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option)

You go to the NAACP to speak to the ____ community.
1) Martian
2) White
3) African American
4) Minority
5) Womens

What would the Audience be at an NAACP convention? What would that audience be interested in?

He has said the same thing to mixed audiences and left race out each and every time. The fact that you can find racist sentiment in this shows just how far the left goes to find what is not there.

Newt knows what he's doing when he calls Obama the "food stamp president" and suggests the black community prefers food stamps over paychecks. He's appealing to the racists in South Carolina. He just let it slip with that NAACP remark. It's despicable, as Jimmy Carter among many others has said.

Quote:Former President Jimmy Carter says Newt Gingrich knows exactly what he is doing when he uses phrases like "food stamp president" and talks about the poor learning a work ethic. Carter says this rhetoric is "appealing to the wrong element in South Carolina."

"Newt Gingrich is probably as enlightened as I am about being gratified that we’re in the desegregation years in the South," Carter said to CNN's Piers Morgan.

"When you emphasize, over and over, welfare, food stamps, and ‘Why don’t the black people get jobs," and if I’m president, I’ll make sure they turn toward a work ethic, rather than an ethic of welfare and food stamps, that’s appealing to the wrong element in South Carolina," the former President said on CNN.

I already addressed this in part. Most food stamp recipients are white, and most black people are self sustaining taxpayers.

So yes, scolding the black community for preferring food stamps over paychecks is racist AND incorrect (as most racist statements tend to be).

Stating the opinion of a failed one term, joke of a president, does not make someone a racist, or even suggest that he is appealing to them.

Zero, Zip, Nada. I'm shocked...shocked I tell you!!!

Newt Gingrich claims that "more people have been put on food stamps by Barack Obama than any president in American history." He's wrong. More were added under Bush than under Obama, according to the most recent figures.

Because the economy during the first few months of his presidency was the worst it has been since the depression. We were in a huge whole and we are climbing out of it.

Also, his opponents all totally suck ass.

And Rebel, you say we "blew" the money. Where exactly do you think that money went?

Are there or are there not more people on food stamps now? I rest my f'n case. Obama has seen more people on food stamps than any other president in history. Gingrich didn't say a f'n thing about percentages, he used real numbers. ...and no, it wasn't the worst its been since the Great Depression.

Quote:And Rebel, you say we "blew" the money. Where exactly do you think that money went?

You tell me. The economy is sh*t, millions are unemployed, more people on food stamps than any other president in history, and all he seems to be worried about is getting re-elected and continuing to pay for extended unemployment benefits. Hey jacka**, how about getting the f'n government out of the Gdamn way so people can get jobs?

Let me say this slowly for your pea brain.

GINGRICH SAID OBAMA HAS PUT MORE PEOPLE ON FOOD STAMPS THAN ANY OTHER PRESIDENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY.

THAT IS A LIE

And you prove post after post that you have no clue about the economy. That money spent went into the economy. If we would not have put that money into economy things would have been much worse. It's simple math fool.

...under President George W. Bush the number of recipients rose by nearly 14.7 million. Nothing before comes close to that.

And under Obama, the increase so far has been 14.2 million. To be exact, the program has so far grown by 444,574 fewer recipients during Obama's time in office than during Bush's.
