    At the event today, Yvan Lamothe, a 59-year-old former New Hampshire state employee and small business owner, drew strong applause from the crowd when he told Gingrich that he has never taken welfare or food stamps and was offended by Gingrich’s suggestion that most African Americans do. Gingrich responded with something like the classic “some of my best friends are black” defense, noting that he has worked with people like Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell in the past

    LAMOTHE: My question to you is, do think blacks represent an American problem. And if you don’t think that, when you start using blacks in general as a stepping stone or a punching bag

    Gingrich went on to say that he simply wants to help more people of all ethnicities find jobs and get them off food stamps.


    ThinkProgress spoke with Lamothe after the event, who was not satisfied with Gingrich’s response. “He didn’t say some black people, he just said black people. I was incensed by that,” he said. “He didn’t really really address it, he said he didn’t say it, but he’s clearly on tape saying it,” Lamothe added. “He should stop using blacks as a punching bag.

    I was being sarcastic. Your "It's going to be a positive change to force black parents into sticking together and being responsible and positive role models for their children in order for them to get into places like Harvard and the like" is more "judged people as a collective but preach individual responsibility" bs from you.

    I'm attacking black culture and ideology because it's garbage. And to succeed now, black people will have to abandon that failed culture and ideology and are going to be forced into adapting to a much more socially palatable and responsible cultural style borrowed from asians.

    You can't just hide under the affirmative action crutch.

    I always wondered about white people that wish to imitate Black culture. If you're going to imitate some culture other than your own try imitating a more successful culture.... Or at least a more successful part of that culture.

    Such as instead of trying to imitate a ghetto thug try to imitate a successful Asian medical school graduate, or a black Harvard graduate.

    I like how you skipped over post #226 but you keep trying with your argument.

    If black people do not want to be judged collectively they have to stop to isolate themselves from the society.

    What what.....?
    Black people see themselves as a separate entity, as a state within the state. E.g. they vote for politicians who would do something for "black people", who would provide more perks and special privileges for black people. They do not vote for politicians who do something for whole society where black people can thrive. Black people declare themselves as a group. If they declare themselves as separate group, they can be judged collectively.

    We romanticized gangsta rap in the 90's. criminal behavior has always been romanticized. looks at godfather, goodfellas etc.

    blah blah blah. the individual can absolutely reject the cultural norms of the group and just make smart decisions, be a productive part of society and win. asians have laid out the path to success, and that involves being a more positive member of society while not dwelling on the past but instead looking towards the future.

    stop bitching, pull up your bootstraps and get to work. trust me, it's not racist.

    if i saw white people do half the **** in the videos i post daily, i would call it out as white trash gutter behavior and they would deserve any punishment they got. it's embarrassing and needs to be called out not encouraged or excused because slavery way back when.

    So why then do you still consider them part of the collective when they do that?

    And no, you'd never call out white gutter trash. We both know that's a lie.

    Absolutely will.

    Like this dumb bitch? WTF is she doing? She's lucky the cop didn't assault her for spitting in his face.

    Is there something you wish to discuss, or are you just here to try to bait me?

    Seems like the one with the emotional damage is the one who was triggered by my post

    Yes, black conservatives have to pay their price (sociallY), the same way white people pay (monetary) for black people special privileges.

    Great, so now we can include black conservatives in the group with black criminals. Thanks for that.
