Well it hasn't actually hurt ME at all, but if i assume that when i say me that I mean someone who did not get a job because they were edged out by another less qualified but more equal person then it has meaning, The reality is that where I live just doesn't have a whole lot of black folks living here, we have a large population of Native Americans though but since they have their very own land and can be on the government dole their entire life and have no limits to welfare, they end up being the poorest, least educated and most prone to alcoholism, drug addiction and violent crime. You think things are bad for other minorities but you have never seen places like Pine Ridge, wow! the abject poverty caused by government "help" has decimated a once brave and proud race. This is what happens to people who are nannied, they end up dependent for life. Thank god for them there is no law forcing them to stay on the reservation and many move away and make something of themselves without the giveaways.

Government dole? No limits to welfare? In what universe does this happen? I am surrounded by reservations and have native family. You are full of shit. They are the poorest because they were forced onto some of the worst lands the government could find. With the exception of the Navajo and a few other tribes. They spent hundreds of years being forced into boarding schools and were beaten if they tried to practice their spirituality or spoke their own language. The abuse was widespread and institutionalized. Countless native children died of starvation, abuse, neglect and exposure in these boarding schools. My mother is a product of the boarding school policy. Then they were sent back home without an identity or a language. They were taught to be ashamed of their own heritage. Border towns to this day discriminate against natives. I don't know what government dole money you are referring to but very few actually get any money from the government and those that do get only enough to keep from starving to death. Education is so low because most schools were outside the reservations and kids had to be bused to and from school or, as I mentioned before, sent to boarding schools. College? Forget it. They can't even afford decent housing let alone a college education.

there is more to the ills of native americans than "being on the government dole".
why are so many native americans overweight? is it because they are on the government dole? or is it because of centuries of living without sugar in their diet has quite suddenly given way to nearly every product on the shelf at the local supermarket having HFCS in some way, shape or form?
oversimplification for the sake of a talking point is dishonest.
you don't have a right to force anyone to work for you. We did away with plantation
You wouldn't last 2 seconds if you swung at me. You have a right to defend yourself.
No one is entitled to another persons work. Respect property rights.
That's cause you're a liar and two faced. You cry and complain and threaten over insults yet you feel its okay for you to do it. You're full of shit as usual.

a confusing tale of things i never said and threats of violence.
"i can beat you up" is not a valid rebuttal.

where did i insult you? i simply told you about my activities of the day.
do you not agree with me that i would be harming my customer (or at least his business model) by charging him more (and i could have) for the same product?
only an uninformed child would call Ron Paul racist. No proof of him doing or saying anything racist.
I guess since he is against the death penalty because it was unfairly used against minorities is a sign of racism? He is against the war on drugs and sites how minorities are unfairly targeted. Your against that?? You're the racist one here. You want minorities to be handed heavier and unjust sentences. Go burn a cross in someones yard, it'll make you feel better.
LMAO Accusing entire states of turning to racism. make something else up.
Then why do corporations donate to other candidates and not much to Ron Paul? yea that's what corporations do, they dont donate to people who back them. The corporations are the ones writing the regulations that stifle competition. Put some thought into your post next time.

i ignored the rest of your post, as it was nothing but ad hominem. let's focus on the only non-insulting part of your post.
ron paul published a very racist newsletter. during the 1996 congressional campaign, he defended that newsletter as his own writing. the proof is in interviews covered by many newspapers at the time.
let's suppose he was lying during those interviews, which is his current claim.
so we are left to assume that he did not write them, even though he lied and said he did, but we still know he made money off the racist newsletters.
does making money off of racist newsletters count as "doing anything racist"? it does in my book.
Understood mormons are racist. An entire segment of the population. You're the one filled with prejudice.
sigh you wonder why I continually call you uninformed. You cannot yell fire in a theatre when there is none because you are bound by the code of conduct that business sets up.
so being fined and hauled off to jail for not serving someone based on color is not being a jack booted thug? Once again you have a misguided perception. okay for you to use force to get what you want but others cannot.
lmao the more you post the more you are wrong. too funny You dont do much reserach on peoples positions instead you make things up.
it's called standing up to freedom and liberty and defining the role of a limited government. We fought a revolution over the long reaching arm of a controlling king.
that's a lie. You are using the threat of force to make someone work for another.
I'll say it again, harming someone is physical. Denying someone a cookie isn't harming them by your hand
you yourself are property. If someone hits you, damages you, you have recourse. Quit making things up.
no it doesn't prove it. You do not understand the definition of harm. that is your failing not mine. keep making things up it's rather funny and sad at the same time.
punishing murders is punishing someone who has harmed property. You need to become informed before spouting off. it is hurting your cause.
it's not about that it's about defending property you yourself are property. keep threatening though if it makes you feel better.
