The Wisconsin lawmaker said in a statement that he "was inarticulate" about the point he was trying to make.
Paul Ryan now embraces historically bogus Hard Left talking points:
"I was not implicating the culture of one community, but of society as a whole," Ryan said. "We have allowed our society to isolate or quarantine the poor rather than integrate people into our communities. The predictable result has been multi-generational poverty and little opportunity."
Typical. A Democrat would never apologize but a Republican winds up on his knees.
Ryan is such a RINO prick. I won’t shed a tear if this derails his “career”. Let him join his Democrat butt buddy Gutierrez on the other side of the aisle.
Tell them when it is not racist to form the “White Congressional Caucus” and blacks (12% of the population) stop causing 60% of the murders - when can talk...
Allen West wouldn’t apologize.
So glad this man didn’t end up our VP.
I tell em to FO.
“You guys are the ones screaming the most equality and opportunity. Combine that with abysmal statistics for “your community” and the obsevation I have is imperical. You numb nutz want freebies by virtue of race alone.
Dusting your azz off to get ahead through self determination and ambition just never crosses your mind.
You’d rather hustle the rest of us.”

A lot of our conservatives are not quick on their “verbal feet.” Ryan is very plodding because he’s very factual, which in the real world would be a good thing, but in the political world is a handicap.
Maybe his meeting will give him a better chance to recruit a few converts to his analysis of the situation.
Reagan was successful because he was an excellent communicator (remember, he had been an actor). Even the press couldn’t distort him when people heard him.
I’m not sure we have anybody now with these communication skills. Cruz, Rick Scott, and even Walker are successful but come across as very wooden. Does anybody know if Gov. Susanna Martinez is a good speaker? Or if we even have any good speakers?
For once Ryan speaks the total truth and now he’s apologizing. For what?
Its about time somebody stood up and told the Blacks that the gravy train is over and its time to start pulling themselves out of their own misery like the rest of us have to do.
Frightened bunny party doing what they do best.
He happens to be right. I know three such men personally, two sons following in their father’s footsteps, living off the hard work of their wife and mother. They’re white. Ryan never said it was exclusively black men.
Another Pubbie Wuss.
Couldn’t happen to a more deserving RINO.
My... The DNC has purged anyone with a hint of Conservative Values. gone John Breaux, Zell Miller, Joe Lieberman, Gov. Casey and his Pro-Life stance, and I am sure many Freeper's can add to the list.
When DPM was on Meet da Depressed, it was what 93' or 94' and that one line absolutely nixed HillaryCare yet you wonder if she had something on him since he essentially handed her his seat.
Look at how far the left has swerved, that within their ranks or ours, when Paul Ryan says essentially the same thing 20 years ago, he is now fighting for his political life...
And people here lambaste those who want to leave the US and surrender their passport before "it" hits the Rotary Oscillator? Considering what they are doing to Paul, can you blame them and is all hope lost?
The truth can NEVER be racist.
The Thug Culture, you can’t talk about our Thug Culture Whitey Boy!!
I thought he was able to play the “dated a black woman in college” card.
Why do these morons state the obvious then back right off it? He should stick to his guns... everyone knows inner cities are messed up
