Hello Sean!

Sadly the majority of folks on welfare are white, female and often unwed.

Like having their cake and eating it too?

Dont worry, Klahn condones it when blacks use the "N" word.

I also see white woman presenting food stamps and the ilk at the grocery
store and then driving away in expensive cars..

This is something Klahn cant grasp..

You, Klahn and I all have ancestry that dates back to Europe, yet we are as
European as what?

In context, to be something like African or European requires one to have
its culture, not just skin pigment.

Southeast and Southwest Europe have peoples that tend to have dark skin
pigmentation, light brown to be exact, this hails back to the times in
which Arab armies invaded, conquered and occupied those regions, yet this
does not necessarily make the present day descendants, Arab. Klahn will
disagree.

Its all political correctness run amuck, something liberals like Klahn do
all to well.

Not all of them do Sean, you are buying into a outdated stereotype, at best
the majority of poor blacks mainly subsist on lower paying jobs with the
only govt assistance being section 8 housing.

What you see with some of that community is the constant buying into the
propoganda being reinforced by such poverty pimps as Sharpton and Jackson.

Most blacks in the US simply go about their business being productive
members of society, being referred to by others in their number as Uncle
Tom's. Others try to set themselves apart and then scream when they
perceive inequalities.

You and I will refuse to relate to those whom:

* Insist on driving cars that are nicer than their homes, with oversized tires

* Maintenance on said auto includes, a daily quart of oil, christmas tree
air  freshener and a bottle of armor-all.

* Think BASS is the only viable component of music.

* Think the words whore, nigger and bitch are the only three words needed in
  music lyrics.

* Have more gold jewelry than a Skatels

* Wear their pants below their knees

* Walk with a gait that resembles a drunk chimpanzee.

* Pop a cap, doesnt mean openning a soda.

Separate but equal taken too new levels, low or high?

Oh dont discriminate against us, but we want to be totally different!
