That is pure racist bullshit of the worst kind. And that is exactly why I don't bother with the WSJ.

Ryan is one of the biggest fools and venal people in all of congress. This is just more of the war on poor bullshit the right wing gets wrong just like they get everything wrong.

I don't give a shit what any of them think, including that lame fuck uncle Tom (Riley) who can't even figure out the Republican party/conservatives have been the enemy of his people forever.

The only problem the African Community ever had was the racism they have had to endure for 400 years.

The reality you have in your head is not real. I know the social science and the streets and the African community as well as Riley and I have a huge advantage over him-I am not nuts.

What you posted is so offensive and you don't seem to have a clue.

<<Robert L. Woodson Sr. is a no-nonsense black conservative who heads the Center for Neighborhood Enterprise and knows a thing or two about that culture, the nation's inner cities and Mr. Ryan.

<<

Mr. Riley is a member of The Wall Street Journal editorial board and author of "Please Stop Helping Us: How Liberals Make It Harder for Blacks to Succeed," which will be published by Encounter in June.>>

Buy for a month for $4 and then tell me what you think. You may have to get the online version in Alaska though.

Why wouldn't you want to know what Paul Ryan is thinking and planning? Consider the ideas in the following column.

A Black Conservative's War on Poverty The man who is showing Paul Ryan around poor corners of America talks about the real barriers to upward mobility and the 'poverty Pentagon.'

'I know black contractors who have gone out of business because their black workers were not prompt or had negative attitudes. I know black workers who take pride about going to work any hour they feel like it, taking the day off when they feel like it. . . . Many leaders who are black and many white liberals will object to my discussing these things in public. But the decadence in the black community . . . is already in the headlines; the only question is what we should do about it."

Recent remarks from Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin? Nope. That's Jesse Jackson in 1976.
