No, it is a bullshit spin peice by a proven moron.
Tell me, WHY Krugman asserts that the phrase 'welfare queen' is a coded reference to blacks? He takes it as simply an obvious assumption.
You seem to agree with him on this assertion, why?
Why do you just assume that 'welfare queen' is a black person?
Did you know that the vast majority of people on welfare are WHITE?
Kinda shoots a gaping hole in your ASSumptions, doesnt it?
You sound like the kind of racist who doesnt have the balls to just come on out and say what you think. You can only think these vicious things in your mind, store them in your heart, and then project them onto everyone else like a fucking coward.
Here's an excerpt: "He recalled that in 1976, when Reagan lost the Iowa caucuses, he began talking about a "welfare queen" from Chicago's South Side."
"The South Side has a population of 752,496 that is over 93% African-American and that includes zip codes that are over 98% black or African-American."
Who in the fuck else could he be referring to genius? White people?
It's easy to "assume' that when for most of your life you heard a bunch of white bigots use that as a disparaging term about black people.
I'm not a racist, I call racists on their bullshit. Nice try at trying to whitewash (pun intended) history and the facts.
Again, since there are people in Chicagos south side who ARE white, there is no reason to ASSume that Reagan was talking about blacks, dumbass.
You project your own racist presumptions like the standard libtard.
Here is another ASSumption libtards like you make; advocates of law and order are making coded references to going after blacks and throwing them in jail! Why would they ASSume this when the majority of crimnials in jail are WHITE?
Because libtards assume they are mostly black and immediately presume that any reference to reducing crime through more enforcement is going to disproportionately impact blacks. And even if the latter was true, since most criminals victimize people of their OWN RACE, putting more black criminals away would BENEFIT the black community!
Your bullshit racist projections onto everyone around you is beyond old and tired. It is stupid disgusting slander and I am sick of hearing that bulshit from stupid asses like you.
ESADIAF.
Yeah suuuure! We know who you people are trying to reference and the reason for doing so. Get a set of balls and admit it!
You obviously don't know the true meaning of the word Liberal. Stop crying and stop lying. I'm as far away from being a racist than you can ever imagine. Thanks for the laugh for that JOKE of a post above, and you can go ESADIAF bitch.
