Milwaukee Journal Sentinel ^ | Aug. 24, 2015 | Associated Press

Democratic U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore says that Republican Gov. Scott Walker's policies are "tightening the noose, literally, around African Americans."

...

She says Walker's opposition to raising the minimum wage, requiring voters to show photo identification at the polls, and requiring drug testing for public aid recipients disproportionately hurts African Americans.

“Literally,” huh? Somehow I seriously doubt that.

Maybe that’s because so many blacks who actually work are uneducated dropouts who have nothing to offer an employer, are more likely to engage in voter fraud to illegally elect people who will keep punching their welfare ticket, and are more likely to be drug dependents who are on welfare. Maybe THOSE are the problems you should be trying to fix, Gwen, instead of belaboring Scott Walker because he’s actually doing something.

Next they will say he’s the black Dragon of the KKK, A Nazi, and a foaming at the mouth Tea Party Fanatic who wants to put black people in chains and burn all black churches! What is Walker’s sin? He’s a Republican.

Idiot

“disproportionately hurts African Americans.”

So showing the same id you use to get your overly generous bennies in order to vote is a problem? Staying clean is a problem more so for blacka?

Seems like its not the policies...its the black folk.

So.. requiring all voters to show ID at the polls and requiring drug testing are akin to a “tightening of a noose.”

Wait, what?

Haven’t we been pounded repeatedly with propaganda about WHITES being the majority of teat-suckling welfare recipients? And are we to assume then by Gwen’s words that blacks are more likely to engage in voter fraud?

These people play to nothing more than a gaggle of simpletons.

Only a racist would claim that only blacks are not capable of earning more than minimum wage, that only blacks can’t show ID, and that only blacks will be harmed t by drug testing for public aid recipients.

Just my opinion.

It’s the old overheated, “cry racist” rhetoric we’ve heard from the Victim Industrial Complex for half a century now. Fortunately, with the exception of a few liberal professors and media hacks, that rhetoric has worn so thin it lacks any moral weight — or credibility.

Yeah, requiring blacks to obey the law is racist.

I wish you were right about the credibility. I guess it depends on how you define credibility. If you use a standard that includes repetition in the propaganda media, then you have to see this rhetoric is seen as very credible by the large numbers of leftists and left-leaning morons in America.
