Rick Santorum Singles Out Black People as Welfare Recipients

January 3, 2012 By Staff 20 Comments

While campaigning in Sioux City, Iowa, Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum thought that he would use black people as one of his stage props. Speaking to a mostly-white audience, Santorum said that he doesn’t want to “make black people’s lives better by giving them somebody else’s money.”

Keep talking buddy, at least you were honest and out in the
open. Now we clearly know where you stand. First it was Rick Perry and now this
nut. I hope the Republican Party stays on the current course, the president doesn’t
have to say much in his campaigns, they are their own worst enemy.
Truth

Don’t perpetuate the lie. Santorum said no such thing.

Watch the video from that campaign stop and you’ll be able to hear what Santorum said for yourself. I do believe this article is stating the truth.

what a racist cunt. Guess what? 86% of welfare recipients in Iowa are WHITE while 9% are Black.
And they say racism has ended…

Rick needs to visit the Welfare Office and look for himself to see who is in the office applying for welfare.

Well you know what he thinks about us!!

Watch the video, he didn’t even mention blacks.

Blacks are just going to vote for Obama anyway.

If he mentioned harsher punishment for criminals would be he racist too?

Anon, go help your mother, her huge ass is stuck again in the outhouse! You know, the outhouse, where the Cesspool man found you immediately after your birth! Your mother had mistaken the pain….you for a gargantuan turd and blow-farted you out…..ass-hole!

“I don’t want to make black people’s lives better by giving them somebody else’s money; I want to give them the opportunity to go out and earn the money.”
Oh the horror, blacks have to go out and work for something?

I guess not giving blacks an EBT card to buy menthol cigarettes, malt liquor, and lotto tickets is racist.

Here we go, a effing hillbilly that has not one clue what comes out it’s child molesting mouth. Hey, “independent” what makes you so? Sounds to me like your anything but independent. You know how many Black people? Check this out fool, if you keep that child raping hole closed nobody will know your a stupid.

CBS points out that only nine percent of Iowans on food stamps are black — and 84 percent are white. Nationally, 39 percent of welfare recipients are white, 37 percent are black, and 17 percent are Hispanic. So Santorum’s decision to single out black
welfare recipients plays right into insulting — and inaccurate —
stereotypes of the kind of people some voters might expect to want a
“handout.”

But he’s all for corp. welfare. Please!!

And all brainwashed, brain dead people who still think Black people are the only one’s on welfare…. Seriously? Have you not been paying attention? Or fuck the facts, you just love tried ass stereotypes. More whites are on welfare now that this “economy” has bottomed out. So will he make their lives sweet?

FUCK WHITE PEOPLE STRAIGHT TO HELL.

Right wing Conservatives and the ”T Party ideology” is a race to continue the spread of racism in this country. If this movement continues, in the end, it will most likely fail.

What an idiot, when someone show you who the really are…believe them the first time.

I’m sick of people like this guy! Not only is he not all white he’s biracial like president Obama only he’s Asian and white. So he thinks it’s cool to talk about blacks and Hispanics in a racist manner. He is playing up to the racist white vote telling them what they want to hear and it’s working for him!! He is an embarrassment to biracial people everywhere and he will never win!!!

Is he aware that the largest WELFARE program WAS NOT initiated for blacks? Does he know that the Social Security Act was intended, years ago, to assist White folk who had worked and were having difficulty making ends meet after the disatrous 1929 stock market fiasco? Whoa Nelly!! Please check facts. As a retired Social Worker in the state of Florida, city of Miami, I have seen the economic depressed who are receiving assistance change colors a number of times. Trust me, the Black population has always been on the bottom of the totem pole; once it was the elderly, disabled White person; now it is the ever increasing population of Hispanics. Come on Rick! Read! Become acquainted with the facts BEFORE you open your mouth and espew such stupid racist statements,

Your comment is spectacular. This pig forgot that his grandfather worked in the coal mine, therefore he was not born with money. This trailer trash moron has six children and was lucky he could take care of them because he was a Representative. He also forgot that poor whites are the main ones that are living on welfare. Also, he might have been one of them. We would not have been in this situation if it were not for the incompetent Cheyney/Bush administration who pulled this county down. It has been said many times that the DEMOCRATS HAVE ALWAY HAD TO CLEAN UP THE MESS THAT THE INCOMPETENT REPUBLICANS LEFT. AND THIS IS WHAT PRESIDENT OBAMA DID.

It is truly sad the amount of denial that Black people are NOT the only people on welfare. #WakeUpFolks!
