Am I the only one to whom it’s obvious that Tyrone and Beano are trolls?

If you are Black and vote for this health care then you are not a very smart man. The Government has always held blacks down and at bay with their handouts so that Blacks cant have anything they can call their own, that they worked for to feel good about themselves..Thats not just true with Blacks but whites as well.It’s just more so in the black community percentage wise and the black community continues to struggle to this day because of it ..If you are Black you should vote Against this bill to save your dignity that the Government has taken from you all these years..A man that gives you something is not your friend.Nothing in Life is free and until some people realize this they will never progress..To the white guy in here that said we’d be better off without minorities needs to be more of a man than that .I bet if you had the chance to re think that statement you would not have said that ..we are not white or black or majority or minority but God’s children in his image .I’m a child of god first before I am a color.

Slavery was an injustice whose damage may never fully be recognized but blacks were so scarred physically, mentally, and economically that many have never never recovered and the whites that are impatient for all blacks to catch us immediately need to chill. So many don’t have the tools to compete even at this point. Some parts of slavery were maintained until after World War II and the welfare system was an outgrowth of the handicaps blacks experienced. So many blacks cannot get “good” jobs with decent benefits. Many work for temp services which pay do healthcare benefits and probably were designed to circumvent paying health benefits as the economic greed of business owners tries to squeeze more profit out of every dollar. Jesse Jackson is right even if there are many who disagree with him. A knee-jerk reaction might generate that response but right thinking persons if they look a little deeper will hopefully see that there are a lot of negatives what he might suggest there are plenty of justifications to offer lots of support to our lower economics persons who have been and probably will be playing catch-up for a long time in the future.

Yep Jesse Jackson is right! All these loser minorities think the dang world owes them a living. I got some advice for our African Americans, if you don’t like it here then Delta is ready when you are. Minorities should get down on there knees a thank us whites for their survival. If it weren’t for all of us whites paying taxes, who’d pay for all those welfare checks for the black community? Here’s some more advice while I’m at it. You minorities want health care? Then get off your lazy asses and get a god dang job you worthless bunch of losers! This country would be 20 years ahead if it weren’t for all these sorry minorities holding us back!

Why does Jesse Jackson even get attention from the press and media? The only thing I look forward to hearing the media report about Jackson is when he dies.
==========================
Think about who runs this paper (The AJC). Liberal media is going to keep this type of junk afloat every time Jesse or AL open their mouth.

Way to go Jesse. Inject race once again. Keep working hard to divide America. Though you may want to buy another pack of cards, the race card you constantly pull should be getting worn out by now.

The cost of doing nothing is worse.

And you’re right, Jackson shouldn’t have said that.

The correct phrase is, “You can’t vote against health care and call yourself a MAN.”

And if you’re a woman who votes against health care, you’re just a puppet.

“Free healthcare” Tyrone? $890 billion cost is not free. Who do you think is going to pay that money. Whitey? How about the gov’mt go get a title loan. Or better yet how about a big yard sale that other countries can come in and buy the goverments stuff. Or maybe a cookie sale.
