Are you saying that there isn't a problem specifically affecting black people in the inner cities? I think there is, and don't think it's wrong to talk about it in a direct way. Sadly, the poorest areas with broken families, poverty, joblessness in Chicago are predominately black (maybe 98%) and the richest areas are predominately white.
Not sure of the angle here..
Blaming the problem on lazy blacks is racist no matter how many sentences you type to dance around it.
Even if that culture is causing the crime within the inner-cities? SO truth and honesty is now a bad thing.

Crime? Why do you keep ignoring what I type....I said LAZINESS. The only way for it to be "truth" is to have evidence of laziness. Right? Or we're going to keep playing this game where Ryan "really meant" something else?
You seem to keep mentioning things I'm not talking about and expect me to defend it.

I think you are missing the point and setting up a straw man.
Paul Ryan insists his inarticulate comments about inner city men were not about race
Paul Ryan insists his ?inarticulate? comments about ?inner city? men were not about race | The Raw Story
Paul Ryan attempted to walk back Wednesdays comment in which described a culture in our inner cities in particular of men not working, and just generations of men not even thinking about working and learning the value and culture of work.
In a statement issued to ThinkProgress, Ryan insisted that his comment wasnt a thinly veiled racial attack, as Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA), a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, characterized it.
It is clear that I was inarticulate about the point I was trying to make, Ryan said in the statement. I was not implicating the culture of one communitybut of society as a whole. We have allowed our society to isolate or quarantine the poor rather than integrate people into our communities. The predictable result has been multi-generational poverty and little opportunity. I also believe the governments response has inadvertently created a poverty trap that builds barriers to work.
Ryan told a blogger from Crew of 42 that his initial comments had nothing to do whatsoever with race.
See?
When Paul talks about the "culture" of the citizens in the "inner city" he didnt mean "culture" or "inner city". What he really meant was everyone everywhere and just failed to "articulate" it correctly.
Good job GOP...Maybe you can win an election without blacks. Just stop defending shit like this and asking why you arent an attractive option for blacks.
Typically when you talk down to people....studies have shown they dont really appreciate it

There is a segment of the black community that is useless...its not the entire black community or even the entire population of the inner city (code word for black neighborhood). In the same respect, there is a segment of the white community that is useless and it seems as if the GOP wants to ignore those problems and point to all crime and poverty as a problem unique to black communities.
It is a shame that a Republican cannot address issues in the black community without being called a racist.
It is a shame that a Republican ignores problems in the white communities, pretending that only blacks have such issues.
Its a shame that comments like this bring out the race baiters and rabble rousers.
Its a shame that comments like this embolden racists to spew their vitriol and hate.
Either way, the liberals and race baiters may not like the way Mr. Ryan presented this issue, perhaps they should take a step back and recognize that the GOP is encompassing the black experience into their agenda...now all they need to do is tweek how they present their message.

Where did ryan use the word "lazy"?

So we don't need the brothers keeper and there isn't a problem.
People have to admit that there's a problem to be fixed in order to find solutions. Obama is admitting to this with his brothers keeper and has done it a few times in the past.
SO you're saying Obama is a liar?

SO you're saying Obama is a liar?
Did Obama say there was a problem or did he blame an immeasurable such as "laziness".
See, in order for Paul statement to be try there has to be evidence of "laziness". Since there is no study or any way to measure the amount of lazy it has to come from his own perception.
His perception is not a fact.
