Flipper's flop.

Memo to all racists in A-merry-ca: Sometimes when you embrace the Big R it can land your ass in jail. Just remember that. (h/t to Robert Garrick for sending me this story.)

But I am not chasing the Big R tonight. Tonight I have a bigger fish to fry. Being poor in A-merry-ca is a b#*&^. I don't care if you are black, white, brown, or yellow. It's just not cool to be "very poor" here in the land of the [some are] free.

Everybody beats up on poor folks. I guess it's because they don't have any influence on K Street, and they don't have money to give to political campaigns.

If you are poor and you heard Flipper this morning on CNN you must have felt really bad, because you know now that if he becomes president of these divided states of A-merry-ca, he will not care about you.

"After less than 24 hours after a big win in Florida, Mitt Romney stated he isn't concerned "about the very poor" because “we have a safety net there.” Instead of focusing on the highest poverty levels, Romney intends on helping middle class Americans find jobs.

"If it needs repair, I'll fix it. I'm not concerned about the very rich. They're doing just fine. I'm concerned about the very heart of America, the 90-95 percent of Americans who right now are struggling."
"We have a very ample safety net and we can talk about whether it needs to be strengthened or whether there are holes in it. But we have food stamps, we have Medicaid, we have housing vouchers, we have programs to help the poor," Romney said. "But the middle-income Americans, they're the folks that are really struggling right now."
Flipper, if you think that "middle-income Americans" are "really struggling", just WTF do you think that poor people are going through? Do you really believe that people want to depend on a f*&^%$# safety net? Or do you think that they want to participate in the A-merry-can dream and try to get where you are someday by working their asses off? No one wants to depend on a safety net. No one, except of course, the fictional welfare Queen who exists in the minds of [right] wingnuts like you, and Ronald Reagan

But then of course Flipper was in typical Flipper mode later in the day.

"Since his comments, Romney claimed his poor choice of words were taken out of context.

"No, no, no, no," Romney said. "You've got to take the whole sentence, all right, as opposed to saying, and then change it just a little bit, because then it sounds very different. I've said throughout the campaign my focus, my concern, my energy is gonna be devoted to helping middle income people, all right? We have a safety net for the poor in, and if there are holes in it, I will work to repair that. And if there are people that are falling through the cracks I want to fix that." [Source]
Way to correct that flop there Flipper. I think that you managed to flip back on  your feet for now.

"the good parts of the 50s -- the entrepreneurship, which occurred almost entirely without government intrusion."

Agreed, the 91% tax rate for the highest earners definitely helped spur entrepreneuship. Maybe if we brought that back we could have some more of the 50's growth. I mean I'm sure all of the banking regulations were relaxed in the 50's. I agree with Slappz.

"What strides have American blacks made? Nothing comparable to Singapore or Israel."

Seriously? 60 years ago there was not ONE Black person flying for a commercial airline in the U.S. but now we can. There's a freaking Black president.

"Apparently decades and decades of increasing payments in cash, food, housing and education is your idea of anti-black racist behavior."

Uh, no. Lynching Black people for voting, looking at a white woman, discriminating against us in employment/housing ect. Now THAT is racist behavior but I see you missed my point.


"How much time and money has America spent attempting to remediate blacks?"

Not much at all. All of the programs you and other racists are only used by Blacks are also used by whites.


"What's the total bill for all the social services blacks have received since the handouts began?"

Less than that for whites.

"Since you claim that blacks are the victims of racism you're admitting that blacks are not contributing more than a token amount toward the total bill."

I guess but I have no clue what this insane comment means. I pay more in taxes than millions of toothless trailerpark living whites. You seem to be unemployed so I'm probably paying for your loafing ass too.

How much in handouts has Israel gotten? When are they going to pay us back? They would be a footnote in history if my taxes didn't go to help Israel. Singapore is nice, I like to get there as much as I can. I wonder how any unemployed racist whites like yourself have even been out of their trailer park.

"Would you say Detroit in 2012 has progressed from the Detroit of 1950?"

And how far have the trailer parks in West Virginia and Mississippi progressed?
-------------------

I would say trailer parks in 2012 are much nicer than trailer parks in 1950.

Detroit on the other hand, has gone from one of the greatest cities in the world to crumbling ruins.

Why is that?

"Leave it to you to confuse the collapse of the auto industry and its impact on a major American city with rural living."

Is that what they call white poverty in A-merry-ca these days? "Rural living"? Interesting.

What's a white drug addict? Over medicated?

PilotX said...

Well, to a hillbilly who lives in a trailer park with his sister/cousin/wife I guess it is actually a nice place to live but as a middle class professional who lives in a condo it sucks. I have some airline pilot friends who live in Detroit and their places are pretty nice.

Less time and money it has spent holding us back and trying to kill us. How much more productive would this country be if we hadn't been kept out of institutions of higher learning? How much more prductve would we have been if our lives and lands hadn't been stolen. The descendants of the Black Wall Street would be billionaires today but racist whites like yourself decided to kill others due to jealousy and their own inferiority. Sad.

how would white people know how bad black people's lives were in africa before they were enslaved...
idiotic to say that it wasnt better than slavery. there are records of black slaves being treated as property not humanely. yeah thats a white person's answer. they saved the black people from themselves. meanwhile the chaos this whole world is in is basically due to the white man's desire to conquer all. to be superior to all. to be the world's second god in charge. right underneath the real one, who gave the white man power to rule... such a crock of mess. but dont think you wont be reaping from this pure harvest of pain brought on all others whose skin is darker...
