Republicans Try to Cut Food Stamps as 15% of U.S. Households Face Hunger

[Khalid_Rashad]

Man we used food stamps last year. Never had to use them before but times are getting hard. Republicans don't give a fukk about anyone but the middle class and the upper class societies. We're doing better now but there is still a chance we might have to depend on them to satisfy our needs. fukk republicans.

you 2 should be "controlled".... but more him.

if i were mod....

For the record, the irony in all of this is that Republican counties are the areas where food stamp usage is growing the most. They are essentially shytting on their own constituency.

Yeah, truth be told, a lot of the animosity toward welfare/food stamp users and "leeches" is really just thinly veiled resentment towards minorities. Right-wing types have pretty much convinced their base to dislike anything that they think will be of particular benefit to minorities (welfare, socialized healthcare, affirmative action, etc.) even if it will also benefit them.

It's been observed that racially homogenous countries are more likely to have universal healthcare and a robust "welfare state" than more diverse countries - I doubt this is a coincidence.

What does ethnic diversity have to do with universal healthcare

I've heard this "talking point" time and time again with no kind of explanation behind it

You guys still don't realize its the means, not the ends that trouble most conservatives on this issue.













I also respect how you guys are slowly turning this into a black vs white issue. Its the favorite liberal tool, and a tried and proven winner.
Your government masters would be pleased.

Most Conservatives, huh? Would you happen to have any proof of that?

As for the Black/white issue, a considerable number of reputable studies and other research on the subject have confirmed that racial attitudes play a significant role in (white) Americans' attitudes towards welfare:

Only niqqas c00ning are the liberal ones clinging to the plantation. No way any of ya'll runnin away . Freedom don't mean enough to ya'll.

"How we gone eat without the massas food handout", "who is gonna provide shelter and opportunity for us if we leave the plantation", "we need the massa, lifes hard and we might not make it without his help"

Cacs used dependency to keep slaves in line, now the using it to keep you niqqas in line... think about it...

Cacs plan:
Step 1- create situation where niqqas cant get by

Step 2- promise niqqas the means to get by in return votes

Step 3- Don't make things any better, but promise to

Step 4- Implement more government programs to fix government programs
Step 5- Sit back and enjoy White excellence

Ya'll call a niqqa that places freedom and personal responsibility over freedom over life a fool/c00n? Look at how far we have fallen









These Cacs got ya'll thinkin being black means being Democrat and lobbying for government assistance. Ya'll niqqas should be ashamed.

I don't doubt for a sec that cacs are racist as f*ck, and that it doesn't trickle into every decision they make. But that doesn't make the facts not the facts...
