Niggers on Welfare: The Answer to What is Wrong in America

So, I am reading the news a few weeks ago and I see an interesting shot that didn't shock me at all. Rick Santorum in Iowa playing to his base. I see this fat fuck in front of his white, middle class constituents and he is pontificating once again about the government being the reason that they are broke because they are taking their money to give to other folks. Then comes the real bomb that pissed me off. Not that he said it, I am used to shit like this:



I mean this is part and parcel of being black in America. I mean it wasn't until my generation that it was seen as bad manners for a white person to call you a nigger right to your face. The thing that really pissed me off was that he was so comfortable saying this and also, if you polled every one of those people in that audience they would say, "I am not racist, I just don't like ANYONE living off the government tit. Since it is almost ALL black people, then I have a problem with all the ones who are on it." Never mind that the average profile of someone on welfare is a white woman or there are more white people on welfare. No, let's throw facts out the window and get down to the nitty gritty of what has always ailed America: lazy ass niggers. Now, some people may have a problem with me using this word. Well, I call a spade a spade. I am hard pressed to believe that when they are discussing this topic in their houses, they are saying, "Blacks or African-American or Afro-Americans or even Negroes are on welfare". No the term that is used is the same one that has always been used: niggers. Now, to the subject at hand, the rhetoric has changed to make it politically correct, but the story remains the same. The same racist or white supremacist mindset that has always been prevalent in America is the foundation of statements like this. The overt and covert campaign to paint all black people as being inferior beings that was started by the piece of shit founders of this country until today. Thomas Jefferson begat Andrew Jackson who begat John C. Calhoun who begat Benjamin Tillman who begat George Wallace who begat Trent Lott who begat Rick Santorum. All of them vile, sick and twisted individuals in their own right. The one thing that changed from the beginning until now is the wording, but the sentiment and feelings are still the same.

The Southern Strategy is basically the usage of seemingly non-descriptive messaging to convey a point about a certain people without explicitly using any language that describes said people. This was started under Nixon Administration and slowly perfected over time through the Reagan administration, but reached its apex under one Lee Atwater. A few years ago, there was an excellent documentary on Lee Atwater called 'Boogie Man: The Lee Atwater Story':



Here is something that Lee Atwater said in an interview concerning the change in rhetoric from the past and the present:

You start out in 1954 by saying, "Nigger, nigger, nigger." By 1968 you can't say "nigger"—that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states' rights and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now [that] you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites.

And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I'm not saying that. But I'm saying that if it
is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem

one way or the other. You follow me—because obviously sitting around saying, "We want

to cut this," is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more

abstract than "Nigger, nigger".

Now, this was the man who got George Bush the First elected. His protege was the same man who got George Bush the Second elected: yes, that piece of shit Karl Rove. Now when these are the men who are controlling the Republican Party and have laid out the blueprint for succeeding in politics on the right, is it any wonder that Santorum not only said such a thing, but believes it and felt so COMFORTABLE saying it. I realize now that any black person who would EVER vote Republican at some level exhibits self hate about being black and has an inferiority complex when it comes to white people. I am not a Democrat and I believe that any black person who considers himself a Democrat is ignorant and misguided because after forty years of voting Democrat what has it done for black people? More people in prison, more unemployment, neighborhoods more segregated today than ever before, lack of opportunity and resources. But the ambivalence of the Democratic Party is nothing in comparison to the downright vitriol from the right. The question is has there ever been a strong black man who has succeeded in the political arena in America? Has there ever been men like H. Rapp Brown (now known as Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin) or Stokely Carmichael ( a.k.a. Kwame Ture) or Malcolm X ( or El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz) who are strong, black men and could make it in America? When the ones I see make it are Barack Obama (a milquetoast), Martin Luther King Jr. (acquiescent to the white male power structure), Colin Powell (will kill men, women and children by order of the racist system to prove he is 'one of the good ones'; no better than a black overseer who will beat his people UNMERCIFULLY on command by the slave master) and Will Smith (who said after Obama was elected that any problem that black people have can no longer be blamed on racism), then I know I am totally fucked under the current system. Even writing this, I know I am putting my livelihood in jeopardy because if the wrong person reads or hears about this, then bye bye career. This isn't the same for Rick Santorum, of course. He can continue to feed his family and live well and say the most horrific things. The same for Newt Gingrich (who has had a hell of a lot to say about the work ethic, or lack thereof, of black people during this political cycle), Ron Paul and any of those other hicks.

To get back to ol' Ricky though, this is nothing new from his side of the political spectrum. One thing that I did think about and wonder: is there anything that people like this won't blame on the inferiority of black people? Will he blame global warming on black men not being good fathers? Peak oil on too many black women on welfare? Overpopulation on black people being unable to control our libidos? Is there anything that black people won't be blamed for by people like this? I really don't think so.

I must admit that the comeuppance that is going to happen to racist sons of bitches like Santorum when we do have collapse makes it worth it in many respects. Like the old saying goes: When you are given lemons, make lemonade.
