Jeb Bush’s Claim That Blacks Want ‘Free Stuff’ for Votes Insults Our Dignity and History of Struggle

Every race has people who will work hard and those who will rely upon welfare.

A goodly number of Caucasian people are on welfare, maybe more in total numbers than blacks, although not in terms of percent of population.

But, that aside, here's a radical thought. No free money for anybody who is young enough and able-bodied enough to work. I recognize that at a certain age you will be unlikely to work as you did when younger, but if you are below that age then working for a living is the way to go. Note: IMO veterans who have honorably served have earned their benefits.

They’ve bled the Katrina thing to death.

They never mention the black mayor who could not have cared less what happened to the poor blacks.

As far as I know Nagin is still serving his 10 year prison sentence as
Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate No. 32751-034.

Racial insensitivity is a Bush family trait. George H.W. Bush, the 41st president, defeated Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis in 1988 by running the infamous Willie Horton ads that played upon national fears of black criminality

Just another race baiting bigot. Bush's ads never showed Horton. The people who made Horton's race an issue were race baiting Leftists power whores like this "Professor"

[treetopsandroofs]

Big Media politicized it all for us because Nagin was the belligerent and sacrificed people in his quest to hurt W.

All because we were relentlessly told by Big Media that W really lost the 2000 election.

Most of the remaining “Republican” candidates will go out as nastily as possible to do as much damage as they can to Trump.

His comments smell like a setup.

I think it was 200......................

“Jeb should quite the race now” ______________________________

Yes, he should! I can’t wait until that day comes.

We should have a pool. I would pick tomorrow but I think that is overly optimistic. I fear he will hold on until March 16th, 2016.

The TRUTH often hurts.

TRUTH: It's the new HATE SPEECH.

[Mastador1]

Hell yeah, they don’t call it free stuff because that’s insulting, they call it R E P A R A T I O N S because that’s justus!

(Bush claims) Blacks Want ‘Free Stuff’ for Votes

That's not a claim. That's a statement of fact.

Of course; it could also be said of all Democrats; and it would still be a statement of fact.

[ChicagahAl]

Black Americans have been the hardest-working and least-rewarded group in American history.

Up until 1967 that was true Professor....

As a group?

No. Not even close.

[bassmaner]

Thanks for posting that uncensored. Sometimes the actual words just need to be said: p.c. be damned.

[rottndog]

The truth is what it is...it’s a historical fact and it shouldn’t be hidden from view.

[NorthMountain]

Democrats getting black people to vote for them by promising them “free stuff” during election season is a powerful reminder that the demonicrat party and the "black community" are hopelessly corrupt.

[NorthMountain]

Black Americans have been the hardest-working and least-rewarded group in American history.

Cuz all dem white folks that built this country don't mean squat ...

[ConservativeDude]

I hadn’t thought of that...you may well be right.

However, I think Trump can easily distance himself from his erstwhile (well soon to be) competitors....Bush never spoke for Trump. And Trump has had excellent African American numbers in a few polls.

bttt

[sergeantdave]

The misnamed “professor” sounds like another affirmative action scrounge living off working people.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

You are correct Red Badger
