Let’s see. The ones over 65 have Medicare. The poor with children have Medicaid. The ones incarcerated have free health care. The ones in the military have coverage. The ones working at any business over 50 employees have coverage if they choose to and the ones who work for local, state, and federal governments have coverage. The ones working for ACORN have coverage. Have I left anyone out?

Per Reid “ We'll cover you from the cradle to the grave”.
Per Pelosi “ We'll cover you from the womb to the tomb”.
Per Zero “ Well cover you from the erection to the resurrection”.

Nononono. They want reparations (keep on taxing whitey) not a self help plan!

I'd love to help, but any money that could have gone toward reparations was taken in income taxes. Anything remaining was spent on ammunition.

“Shortly after the end of the Civil War on Jan. 16, 1865, Union Gen. William T. Sherman issued Special Field Order 15, which promised “forty acres and a mule” to freed slaves”

Ok we will give you the same health care that was available in 1865.

Make them use that welfare money to buy bags of raw potatoes instead of potato chips, and packages of fresh meat and frozen vegetables instead of frozen dinners.

And then we will be expected to cook.

All that government health care results in poor health outcomes?
And they want more government health care?

How can anything be a ‘right’ that requires someone else
to provide that right?

Until they realize that “their community” is America they aren’t worth a gob of warm spit in my book.

Many of the health problems blacks have can be directly contributed to the high fat highly processed diets they refuse to give up. You can’t eat everything fried in animal fat and expect to be healthy!

I’m all for that. We brought them over here against thier will. According to them, anyway, we have oppressed them all this time. They can’t have the kind of government they want because of whitey. All of colonial Africa has been turned back over to them. There, they are the rulers. Why would they not want to go?

"African-American infant mortality is more than double that of whites..."

Does this include the abortion rates?

"African-American women make up 70 percent of new HIV/AIDS infections....."

...maybe get a husband?

.etc, etc. etc......

Maybe a lifestyle change would help.......

Pampers and paper, most of it green...

“What, stand on our own two feet like other Blacks who have made successes of themselves?”

“Oooooooooooooooooo, that gives me the chills!”

LOL

Oh no, you see the boatride over wasn’t “racism.” It was all well-intended for the benefit of Africans.

“From the cradle to the grave, African-Americans have poorer health outcomes”

Because as a whole, their eating habits are less healthy. Not a racist, but a factual statement.

Amen to that. You don’t see them peeling the skin off fried chicken.
