The majority of them live on government handouts in one way or another and the majority of them do not pay any taxes.
You said: “The majority of them live on government handouts in one way or another and the majority of them do not pay any taxes.”
This was in response to a comment that the vast majority of minorities do not receive welfare. That is actually true. Welfare recepients at the highest point in the last 40 years never went over 6% of the population. More recently it has been closer to 2%. There is no way that most minorities are on welfare.
You decided to change it and make it about government handouts. If you use slippery language like “government handouts”, then the vast majority of all Americans are included in this. Is education a government handout? Then anyone who goes to school is on a government handout.
As far as paying taxes, 38% of households do not pay federal income taxes. Most still pay fica, which I consider to be a tax. I don’t pay federal income taxes due to a moderate income and a variety of tax breaks I get, but I don’t feel any less patriotic because I don’t pay taxes. But then I am white, so maybe it’s okay if I don’t.
Which brings to the question: what’s your point? As conservatives we are color blind, so why make this about what a certain race does or doesn’t do? Even if your point is true, that still leaves a significant number of minorities who are not depending on the government and might be open to aligning politically with conservative candidates. Why not make it about those who are on welfare no matter the color of their skin? When you make it primarily about race, you further alienate responsible, law-abiding citizens with whom we have much in common.
