All of you grow up. Black Americans are Americans as well. A problem exists, perceived or real. Let Newt offer an olive branch of understanding.
I wonder how this forum would react if Trump endorsed or agreed with Newt’s statement. Probably rationalize it.
Siding with anti-white, anti-police terrorists. And we thought pandering to global warming alarmists was bad. He really outdid himself with this one.
Hint: I DON’T have black skin, Newt. I also don’t try to take what isn’t mine, do drugs, party all the time, stay out all hors of the nigh and drive I to bad parts of town and am not a member of a gang and for the life of me don’t understand why I DON’T get into trouble .../s
Then be their White Moses, Newt, and lead them out of Racist America and back home to The Promised Land
You and Jeff Hood
It’s a valid point,...
But it does not give them a right to violence.
AND it’s not going to help that sentiment.
Bad time to say it.
Any black who stays in school, acts decently, and works hard, has always succeeded as much as any white person.
Newt is perpetuating the black racists’ propaganda that use blacks to their advantage.
And you do, Honkie?
If you live among a large group of people who are disproportionately criminal, it is difficult for the police to separate the good from the bad. Why don’t black communities get together and say to their family members commit less crime? The Italian communities had to help the cops get rid of the mafia in the 1980’s. Before that, law enforcement and FBI hassled everybody in those Italian/mafia neighborhoods. What are you gonna do?
yep just go away
While you're at it, since you sat on the couch with Nancy, can you explain the really warm periods the earth experienced before industrialization was even a thought in anyone's mind?
Stop with your damn political correctness already we are tired of it.
Does Newt really think that liberals will love him more by spewing this crap?
Again, fear of success strikes Mr. Gingrich.
WILLIAMS: Speaker Gingrich, you recently said black Americans should demand jobs, not food stamps. You also said poor kids lack a strong work ethic and proposed having them work as janitors in their schools. Can't you see that this is viewed, at a minimum, as insulting to all Americans, but particularly to black Americans?GINGRICH: No. I don't see that.
(APPLAUSE)
You know, my daughter, Jackie, who's sitting back there, Jackie Cushman, reminded me that her first job was at First Baptist Church in Carrollton, Georgia, doing janitorial work at 13. And she liked earning the money. She liked learning that if you worked, you got paid. She liked being in charge of her own money, and she thought it was a good start.
I had a young man in New Hampshire who walked up to me. I've written two newsletters now about this topic. I've had over 50 people write me about the jobs they got at 11, 12, 13 years of age. Ran into a young man who started a doughnut company at 11. He's now 16. He has several restaurants that take his doughnuts. His father is thrilled that he's 16 because he can now deliver his own doughnuts.
(LAUGHTER)
What I tried to say — and I think it's fascinating, because Joe Klein reminded me that this started with an article he wrote 20 years ago. New York City pays their janitors an absurd amount of money because of the union. You could take one janitor and hire 30-some kids to work in the school for the price of one janitor, and those 30 kids would be a lot less likely to drop out. They would actually have money in their pocket. They'd learn to show up for work. They could do light janitorial duty. They could work in the cafeteria. They could work in the front office. They could work in the library. They'd be getting money, which is a good thing if you're poor. Only the elites despise earning money.
(APPLAUSE)
WILLIAMS: Well…
(APPLAUSE)
(CROSSTALK)
WILLIAMS: The suggestion that he made was about a lack of work ethic. And I've got to tell you, my e-mail account, my Twitter account has been inundated with people of all races who are asking if your comments are not intended to belittle the poor and racial minorities.
You saw some of this reaction during your visit…
(BOOING)
… to a black church in South Carolina. You saw some of this during your visit to a black church in South Carolina, where a woman asked you why you refer to President Obama as "the food stamp president." It sounds as if you are seeking to belittle people.
(BOOING)
GINGRICH: Well, first of all, Juan, the fact is that more people have been put on food stamps by Barack Obama than any president in American history.
(APPLAUSE)
Now, I know among the politically correct, you're not supposed to use facts that are uncomfortable.
(LAUGHTER)
(APPLAUSE)
Second, you're the one who earlier raised a key point. There's — the area that ought to be I-73 was called by Barack Obama a corridor of shame because of unemployment. Has it improved in three years? No. They haven't built the road. They haven't helped the people. They haven't done anything.
(APPLAUSE)
So…
(APPLAUSE)
BAIER: Finish your thought, Mr. Speaker.GINGRICH: One last thing.
BAIER: Yes, sir.
GINGRICH: So here's my point. I believe every American of every background has been endowed by their creator with the right to pursue happiness. And if that makes liberals unhappy, I'm going to continue to find ways to help poor people learn how to get a job, learn how to get a better job and learn some day to own the job.
(APPLAUSE)<

Gingrich says “White parents, Gingrich continued, dont have to teach their teenage boys to be extra careful when dealing with police
I agree with Gingrich, but all anyone has to do when dealing with police is do what they say and don’t act like you have a weapon and don’t be a smartass. Also don’t commit crimes.
I saw a survey recently that said most Blacks are satisfied with their lives.
Whew! Newt is taking himself out of the running!
Go make another global warming commercial with Pelosi, Newt. You’re done.
How many times did he mention Calista? It’s so annoying how he constantly injects her into his conversations.
