Blacks don't get the same oppurtunities as whites. Blacks are discriminated against, so the gov't owes them more than they owe whites. Blacks make up most of the nation's prison population, so the families of those inmates need more gov't care. And don't forget that blacks were slaves at one time. Therefore, we owe the offspring of those slaves free stuff. And if a job is available, we should take the black before the white because we cannot tolerate the look of discrimination, regardless of ability, skill, education or experience. Every place of business must have blacks on the payroll, or they are very much in violation of today's expectations. We owe them. We pay them, and we will continue to pay them. If we don't, they may not have enough gas to get to the polls. Then where would we be? What if we didn't have Obama? Goodness gracious, I hate to think we might have to go back to a white conservative as our leader.
