My jaw has dropped on this one. I mean really how much worse can things get? dont answer ...

[BCrago66]

Does that mean it's anti-Semetic to say that Jews have a genertic disposition toward tasac disease?

[ambrose]

Uh, is it true or not true... do black people have a lower life expectancy? If so, they are being cheated out of Social Security benefits.

In a statement, Democratic state Sen. Angela Monson, chairwoman of the Black Legislative Caucus, said blacks are insulted by anyone suggesting "that they are genetically inferior and thus predisposed to die before they reach retirement age."

Note the typical leftist jackassery here. She injects things he didn't even imply. Saying they have a lower life expectancy is not saying they are inferior - and they do have lower life expectancy. As of 2001 the life expectancy of African American males is 68.6 years compared to 75.0 years for white males. Doesn't mean they're inferior, it just means they face higher health risks - specifically with heart disease and prostate cancer.

Doh, there I go again - expecting a leftist to look at actual fact ;)

[hocndoc]

It's true: male and black equals a higher risk for heart disease and hypertension. Male alone is a risk factor.

[goldstategop]

Yeah... you say something politically incorrect and the Democrats play the "race card."

[cookcounty]

In a television debate Wednesday, the Republican said black males are being penalized by the Social Security system "because they had a genetic predisposition to have less of a life expectancy."

Is Coburn dumb enough to not know that using "Genetic" in a discussoin involving race is like nuclear war? Where does he live? under a rock?

That being said, he is correct, nobody gets a worse deal from Social Security than African Americans and most Republicans are too dumb to even notice that this is a 50-megaton issue for them (to keep the atomic theme going). There is no reason that the pubbies shouldn't get 40% of the black vote, but they have to ask for it and that requires getting out of their comfort zone. And politicians DO NOT like doing that.

[OKIEDOC]

Don't worry, the black voters in Oklahoma weren't going to vote for Coburn anyway. Telling the truth (Coburn is a doctor by profession) is something that they do not want to hear. Angela Monson is nothing but a Jessie Jackson trouble maker deluxe in the Oklahoma City area. She easily is offended by many remarks.

Coburn was just trying to point out that due to genetic engineering on Gods part that black males are getting the shaft by social security. He did not mean that blacks are inferior in any way to any other race of people.

Remember the Dims are looking for any excuse to be offended.

[conshack]

Sorry, but i didn't read anything racist about this statement. I'm no doctor, but I understand black have a higher rate of diabities than whites. Seems to me that this guy was defending blacks, not trashing them.

[PrtzlLogic]

It's this type of thing, over and over, that makes you really dislike the Democrats.
Blacks aren't "genetically inferior," but I'm willing to go out on a limb here and say that MOST DEMOCRATS ARE, specifically in the area of critical thinking ability. I admit it, I'm Political Party Prejudiced! Let the hate mail begin, I'm ready! ;)
