"Don't you know that Republicans expect people to fend for themselves,we shouldn't have to help the poor"
That's just not true at all.
*This* Republican (along with the ones I know personally) believes it is the moral and right thing to help the less fortunate, and believes "charity" is handled better by private organizations/churches/individuals than by the government. *This* republican believes it is better to give willingly, on my own accord and conviction, than to have it come out of my paycheck, pay some bureaucrats to manage it, and divy it up based on legislation.
Aahhhhh..that's right, minorities can't be racist....
I am sorry I don't recall saying this. Please let me see where I stated this. I stated I wasn't racist against myself. I don't hate/dislike/or belittle my mom for being white(or any other white person for that matter). I love who I am and what it took to get me here.
Number eight was the ONLY one about race. The other 9 could relate to any race, gender, religion, or culture. You are the one who took "white" people out of the equation.

It's offensive and inaccurate to say Republican's expect people to fend for themselves and that we don't help the less fortunate. In fact...I *think* there are stats showing that self proclaimed conservatives give a greater PERCENTAGE of their income to charity.

"BTW, I am mixed race one of those being white and the other American Indian.So, no I am not racist against myself."
Aahhhhh..that's right, minorities can't be racist....
" Saying someone is black and on crack IS a racist statement."
Unless it's true, of course.
Point taken - and acknowledged.
OK, stop making sense, because it's starting to bug me that I'm now agreeing with your statements, lol.

I have NEVER said all white people have had it easy. I am one white person that didn't have it easy so to
Now that you ask that, how do "they" even know how much money people give to charity?
