Go away, Newt. Please, please just go away.

Newt is now dq for vp

[Daffynition]

Newt, not here. Not now.

[JimRed]

He speaks the truth. We don’t understand why they continue to choose BEHAVIORS that cause them most of their troubles.

[Jrabbit]

And there are actually people here at FR that want this idiot to be VP pick for DT?? ack!!

[listenhillary]

Unless you are black, married and have a full time job or business. Then you don’t have time to be out on the streets after dark protesting, looking for and finding trouble.

Make Black Fathers Great Again!

[ballplayer]

I reacted the same way,but then I said,Trump is going to get buried by this Black lives matter crap,so just like the democrats give the blacks what they want to hear,the Democrats promise all kinds of freebies,so throw the bs to deflect the criticism. The democrats do it and the dopes vote for them to the tune of over 90 percent. Over and over and their plight gets worse,so why fight it

Sorry, Newt is spot on! Our white daughter is dating a young man whose parents are from Nicaragua. He is obviously mixed race, and has enough non-white features to be “racially profiled.” He is college-educated and has a senior technical position with a well-known Silicon Valley company. Our daughter tells us that recently while shopping they, with their prior purchases wen into another store. He asked her to carry their all purchases, because he was concerned that he might be subjected to a search of their bags owing to his physical appearance. That is what people of color have to deal with every day, and I realize that they have to “own” what others of their race have done to foster the fear and resentment, but none of it is right. I don't condone what was done in Dallas last night, but I have real reservations about what happened in Minneapolis and Baton Rouge too. We must support our police, but they too have an obligation to act responsibly, and many of them don't. I have had first-hand experience with their abusive behavior and I am old and white. The environment today cannot be justification for being “trigger happy!” They have a right to go home at night, but that does not give them license to shoot people indiscriminately.

[Karl Spooner]

Right on schedule.

[uncbob]

he truth is you don’t understand being black in America and you instinctively under-estimate the level of discrimination and the level of additional risk.”

I bet they wouldn't want to be black in any African nation Newt could name

[NohSpinZone]

I agree, I don’t understand them and their lives either. All I know are the facts of my life - I have been a victim of three violent, armed robberies all by young black men in my life when I was hustling to make money for college as a cabbie at night.

I don’t understand why this demographic is so prone to violence and is generally a laggard in all economic categories, despite the hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars spent on their behalf. Let’s not fail to mention highly discriminatory policies customized for them such as affirmative action.

Spare me the crocodile tears about these poor people and all the injustices they have suffered. I have met many honest, law-abiding poor people in my life, having been one myself. All I know is that my interactions with blacks over the years has led me to be very, very wary of them and their intentions.

But I do not blame them. They almost can’t get out of their own way. But I take great offense at the do-gooder pandering liberals who enable their bad behavior every step of the way, while having nothing to do with them. Curses to these fools.

[Fantasywriter]

Newt is so modest. *We* don’t understand, but *he* does. We are stupid but he is smart. We are clueless, but he is wise.

If Trump picks this insufferable elitist, Trump is nowhere near as astute as I imagine him to be.

[FreedomGuru]

Blacks need to quit being ‘black’ Americans and just be Americans. Sure they will come across racist but we all do, and we all have obstacles.

Newt STFU, at times he is brilliant but then he opens his mouth and out comes the garbage.

[Iron Munro]

Wasn’t Newt’s 15 minutes up about 17 years ago?

[WENDLE]

He sure is right about me.

[SpaceBar]

I hope this ends, once and for all, any talk about noot as Trump’s VP pick.

[SomeCallMeTim]

I had that said to me by a black friend more than 35 years ago.

My response to him was: “True. But, you also don’t know what it’s like to be WHITE in this country”.

We simply do not look at every issue in our lives through a racial lens. Black people do.

Well... the ones who haven’t figure out how to be successful and happy in life yet do.

[Cicero]

Anyone who thinks that Newt is a conservative is nuts. He was a conservative twenty or thirty years ago, when it suited him and gave him power. But he dropped it as soon as it was convenient.

He’s no more conservative than Liar Ted.

[Hildy]

YOu can’t even hear it? There is an element of truth to it, whether you like it or not.
