BUT WHAT ABOUT THE MINORITIES?

When it comes to rescuing the financial system, the Congressional Black Caucus has one thing on its mind: the government better not forget about minority-owned companies.

I thought that you would enjoy this quote from one of the most ignorant politicians in Washington, Maxine Waters. She says, "We are not going to sit back and allow billions of dollars to be dumped into this economy and watch the same old players be advantaged by it .. We're not going to sit back and watch some of the players who are responsible for the economic mess we're in today be the recipients of these taxpayer dollars and provide services and make even more money despite the fact they have mismanaged their own businesses."

Yup .. here comes Maxine, and she's going to make the bailout a racial issue. Well .. that's what she does. She might as well dance with who brung her.

What others are saying

  • Rights
    After the civil rights law was passed my husband worked on a construction job in Atlanta. The blacks wore white shoes to work (not tennis shoes). They refused to do anything that would get their shoes dirty. We knows our rights. Unfortunately they have been knowsing there rights ever since and it has destroyed this countrys work ethic and educational system.
  • Mea culpa
    Wow, Neal brings some thoughtful people to his forums. It was my own fault for looking for thoughtful discussion. Silly independent thinker me; I am mad at myself for even trying. Coming here is like an abused woman going back to her abuser because maybe she can change him.
  • Maxine Waters
    Neal, if I find out that you're "Ryan" and "Stepcousin"...I'm not gonna listen to ya anymore! YA HEAR ME?! Not gonna! Wouldn't be prudent...
  • duhhhhh
    Happy April Fool's Day, fellow honk!es.
  • I;m glad we're getting more hispanics. At least they work hard. Forget about the hard, at least they work.
  • Name one country in africa that is successful. Nuff said. Quoting the poster below, someone else needs to "evolve".
  • Ryan
    Good luck in jail, and when I say "good luck" I mean good luck trying to protect your pooper. My brothers are going to be all up in that. In time you'll learn to appreciate a good black man.
  • calm down, yo
    You bunch of gomers don't know what it's like being a black man. I can see the hatred in your eyes....the penis envy....the athleticism envy. Well, I got news for you. It ain't gonna change, unless of course y'all evolve. Until then, accept what you have and chill. Try to love your fellow man.

    Peace out.
  • Stepcousin
    Handouts, give me, take care of me, I'm entitled, I deserve, it's my right, I've earned, we've earned...keep em' coming.

    How many wellfare checks will it take for you to keep it realz? How many hours do I have to work so you can sit on the couch and watch your rear end get phat enough so you can be in a rap video? How high should my taxes be so your "rims can keep spinnin', keep spinnin'"?

    I promise before generations of my family members I will spend the rest of my life in jail than give you or your babies born out of wedlock one dime.

    You have "0" pride in work and no sense of responsibility. You are the cockroach of society.
  • Stepcousin don't be a racist!!!!
    Don't be racist and pick on the blue eyes since they are a steadily decreasing minority in the American population due to genetics! Base on a 2002 study by Loyola University in Obama’s town of Chicago about half of Americans born at the turn of the 20th century had blue eyes, by the middle of that century the number had dropped to a third and today only about one 1 of every 6 Americans has blue eyes.
  • Maxine Waters Is An Idiot
    Not only is she a race baiter, she went out of her way to write a letter to Cuba asking them not to extradite convicted cop killer Joanne Chesimard back to the U.S. Chesimard, along with her band of thugs, the Black Liberation Army, killed NJ State Trooper Werner Foerester in a shootout on the NJ Turnpike. She escaped from Edna Mahan Correctional Facility with the help of the BLA and fled to Cuba. After a bill passed congress asking Cuba to return exiles, Waters wrote a letter to Castro saying that even though and the rest of the Congressional Black Caucus felt that the resolution was illegal and to keep Chesimard in Cuba. This is what Waters is. Another pro-criminal liberal always on the wrong side of the issue. How this woman keeps getting elected says a lot about her district. Sorry to rant so long but I feel that people outside of NJ need to know this about Waters.
  • One more thing Robin and step...
    This isn't the fifties...

    Most of us have grown up where people of all races intermix. You see it on tv, in music, at school, at the store, and at the work place. It's no longer just blacks here, hispanics here, asians here, and whites over there. We all are getting along and see the bigger picture.

    The majority of whites and the hard working minorities who get past the BS are getting fed up with this race card crap. Sick and fricken tired of it. We no longer give a darn anymore. The whites are sick becuase it just isn't relevent anymore and the minorities who got past it are sick because it undermines thier hard work.

    And this scares the living crap out of people like you. It means the free stuff is almost gone.
  • To Robin and stepcousin
    Man o man, didn't take long for good ole Maxine to rope in the race baiter crowd did it?

    This is caused by blue eyed white guys huh?

    Then I guess the last forty years of welfare and drug addiction was caused by your ilk then?

    You two represent the people I see on the news every night (black, white, hispanic, asian, they come from all sorts) that are crying because thier baby got shot for being in the wrong place at the wrong time (sometimes that is the case, most times they were asking for it). Its not safe where they live and they can't get out.

    Why can't they...because someone is stopping them? According to them yes....but the truth is...

    they would rather live in their tax payer subsidized neighborhood and pay for thier phat azz ride and brand name clothes. If they move, they may have to live more modestly....but hey the bling bling takes presidence.

    So you two the problem isn't race anymore....its priorities and how you place them on your list.

    Point to race and I can find you similiar situation in this country for all skin colors. So open your eyes and stop being the problem.
  • Ryan
    You owe me at least half of your paycheck for the rest of your white devil life. That's the least you could do. You could also stop doing typical redneck stuff, including watching Nascar and screwing sheep. Deal?
  • To Robin and StepCousin
    Let's cut to the chase - how much money do you want out of my wallet right now.

    Don't be shy - you want your handout and we have to give it to you. So how much will it take? How much do you want to steal from me and my family?

    I'm offering it to you now - no need to get a weapon. How much will it take for you to feel that "social justice" has taken place. How much money should we give you?

    No, no, no - don't stand up and do something for yourself. You crazy?
    Just axe white people to give you money - so how much will it take?
  • Maxine "Muddy" Waters
    So let me get this straight; a bunch of businesses make stupid decisions that lead to an economic turndown so large that we have to bail them ... but, Muddy Waters doesn't want bailout money to go to the companies who require the bailout?
  • racism: alive and well
    This financial crisis IS the fault of blue-eyed, old white guys. It has nothing to do with banks being forced to lend money to unfortunate minorities who have been held down by the man since before they were born. These deserving souls were never informed that they were required to pay back these evil white bastards.

    And we thought racism was dead. Barack has a long, hard road ahead of him.
  • my eyes!
    Who is that hideous man in drag in the photo?
  • Maxine waters
    Blacks should be soooo proud of who they put in office.
  • Try listening to other ideas
    Emotion overrides intellect?
    How much does emotion pay ... ?
  • Try listening to other ideas
    I am not listening to Neal for awhile, trying to break the habit of listening to cranky white men whine. Yesterday Malcolm Gladwell explained why this is racial in 'Outliers'. It isn't conscious, nor a conspiracy, nor limited to one race. This book will explain why hard work isn't enough to be successful. Sociology and psychology explain why Neal is only half right/wrong in his views. Emotion overrides intellect 95% of everyone's life, that is the short answer.
  • Maxine
    Just who has been the major recipient of the taxpayer dollars for the last 40 years?
  • Mad Max
    Bet she doesn't keep her own business dealings in line with her unreasonable demands.
  • Don't Forget
    Let's not forget the Maxine has a LOT to gain by this. As an investor in a "minority" owned bank, with her husband on the board of directors and another investor, and the endorsement of Barney Frank, and the TARP money, and and and and- she stands to gain a lot if she can pressure further changes in the path of the money (right through her businesses).

    I think this is not as much a racial issue as it is a method to cyphen more money into her pockets. Why not, everyone else in congress does something like this: Boxer- Pushes business to her husband's companies, Geitner- Doesn't pay taxes, Cochran- Most pork projects in 2008. They are all "dirty", both parties.

    How about some term limits and performance wages for them?? Where's someone like Elliot Ness when we need him to get the corruption out of Washington?
  • Mad Maxine
    Just wait until Maxine Waters finds out that there are many black owned companies that make more than $250K. Oh my, what to do?
  • Maxine water's in the cookie jar
    Do not forget Maxine's husband owns a bank that TARP money. She is a prime example of why we need term limits!
  • How long, O Lord
    " their calls for a defined role for minority businesses were ignored." Gee, sounds like a set-aside to me. From where I sit, those ARE the same people who have "been advantaged" - whatever that means - by my tax money.

    Expletive expletive, when are they going to stand on their own merits? It's been 40+ years, which is 3 generations when you give birth at age 13.
  • maxine waters
    dumb as a box of rocks. gee, i guess she wants to give money to businesses that don't provide services nor make money!
  • Nothing new, just grander scale
    Knew someone that Young would call and threaten with loss of business if he did not hire any minorities. It was just him and the owner!
