"I don't want to make Black people's lives better by giving them other people's money. I want to give them the opportunity to go out and earn their money and provide for themselves and their families."
Oh boy, I'm not sure why Mr. Santorum felt he had to single-out Blacks with that statement, but if he buys into the longstanding stereotype of Black folks who are too lazy to work and and prefer to lay around and collect welfare instead, then here's a bit of information provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture that he might find interesting:
Of those who receive housing assistance and food stamps, the racial breakdown goes like this
34% White
22% Black
Within the state of Iowa, where this ridiculous statement was made, the racial breakdown goes like this
84% White
9% Black
Wow, looks to me like there are a whole lotta White folks out there who are too lazy to work and prefer to lay around and collect welfare, instead.
Mr. Santorum, you are an asshole.
