NBC News ^ | 22 April 2014 | Frank Thorp V

Posted on 04/22/2014 11:20:43 AM PDT by zeestephen

In March, Ryan said during an appearance on Bill Bennett's radio show that there is a "tailspin of culture, in our inner cities in particular, of men not working and just generations of men not even thinking about working or learning to value the culture of work."

Are they going to ask Ryan how amnesty will affect their constituents?

Ryan is meeting with the CBC that has done nothing for the black Community other than be the sock puppets of the Democrat Elites, talk about a bunch of people with no real jobs!

Why an uproar? He’s right. But now the absence of male responsibility and work ethic is reaching through all US cultures.

Why meet with overseers of the Democrat Plantation?

Most of these people’s livelihood relies on keeping the slave voters down and stupid, constantly asking for more handouts.

Nothing good can come of this,IMO.

My meeting would begin with the statement:

“Tell me where my statement is factually incorrect and we’ll discuss that.”

What is the uproar about?
That these conditions exist in the inner cities or that someone dared to say it?

An American representative should simply say: "I stand with the productive citizens of America - I don't give a damn what the looter classes think."

It's time to start using accurate words again in national debate.

I agree. Meeting with the aggrieved and outraged is a losing tactic.

He could suggest they write him nice letters, in cursive, detailing their objections, and he’ll be happy to respond.

Why do they do this?
It isn’t like the blacks are ever going to give a ‘Pubbie a significant part of their vote.

Did they meet with “Congressional White Caucus” to discuss crime-free neighborhoods?

Why is it that ‘inner-city crime and poverty(read:lazy, uncivilized)’ and ‘black’ always in the same sentence and there is even a ‘go to’ caucus for discussing inner city crime and poverty?

Must be rasis.

Maybe the black leaders can discuss why the Democrats created welfare keeping minorities living in rat-infested tenements with no hope for a future, but the Democrat-government check kept coming. The Dems created the slum inner city and yet the blacks keep voting for them. Makes no sense.

I think they should grant blanket amnesty and throw these illegals in the inner-city with the other third-world, uncivilized inhabitants. Then everyone can have a pet unicorn and love each other.

Exactly! People with a vested interest in keeping the public funds flowing into the program don’t want to hear that maybe...just maybe...they’re a major part of the problem. I just did a post on why I don’t give to the send-an-underprivileged-kid-to-summer-camp phone calls. The same logic applies here.
