the vast majority of people who receive government benefits are white. In fact, whites receive a disproportionate amount of benefits. The Economix blog at the New York Times reported the following in February of last year: Another finding of the study is that the distribution of benefits no longer aligns with the demography of poverty. African-Americans, who make up 22 percent of the poor, receive 14 percent of government benefits, close to their 12 percent population share. *Conversely, whites make up 42 percent of the poor , but take in a disproportionate 69 percent of government benefits.* If Republicans cut these programs, as part of the sequester or any other backdoor maneuver, their issue will be with their own base, not blacks. Although, I’m not yet convinced that some white right wingers wouldn’t starve themselves if it meant robbing a black or brown person of a spoonful of broth.

>> Do you really think African Americans are going to forget conservatives opposition to the 1964 civil rights act, or using dogs to attack little black girls.

Of course, as usual, you do not have command of the facts. 18 Democrats, including Robert Byrd, filibustered the bill for nearly 2 months>

You are such a dishonest person. I did not use the word Democrat, I used the word conservative.

On purpose, which you caught and brushed aside.

You know full well virtually all the conservatives voted against the 1964 civil rights act and all the liberals voted for it.

And you know damn well, the dems that voted against it were all Dixiecrates. Not a liberal in the bunch.

Most of those Dixiecrats went on to become Republcians after the vote and it was why LBJ said we just lost the south to the pubs for a generation.

Doesn't all your lying bother you?

Your party has done so many terrible things you have to lie and revise history.

Well, you cannot fool all the people all the time and you certainly cannot fool African Americans.
