Regardless, mutual respect and distance between ethnic groups is the only way multiculturalism works in the long run. Never buy into the western liberal “melting pot” ideology. Hell, reject all of western liberalism. Multiculturalism is genocide of the majority in EVERY country.

Well perhaps in Ezra Mead’s English there is no such word, but it is found in the American dictionary:

ir·re·gard·less \”ir-i-’gärd-l?s\ adv [prob. blend of irrespective and regardless] (ca. 1912) nonstand: regardless
usage Irregardless originated in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century. Its fairly widespread use in speech called it to the attention of usage commentators as early as 1927. The most frequently repeated remark about it is that “there is no such word.” There is such a word, however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose. Its reputation has not risen over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance. Use regardless instead.

My response: this is very true. I was looking for current statistics and I am sure there out there to be found I did find some statistics from utexas.edu but they are a little old for my research I believe they are the late 1990′s and I prefer studies not more than a few years old but here’s what I found reported:

A General Profile of the Welfare Population – Urban Institute
90% of welfare parents are single mothers

10% married

36% divorced/widowed/separated

54% never married

Most welfare mothers are in their 20s and 30s

6% under 20 years of age

24% 20-24 years of age

22% 25-29 years of age

35% 30-39 years of age

13% 40 years of age or older

Welfare mothers are distributed among the major ethnic groups

37% White

36% African-American

20% Hispanic

6% Other

Academic levels of welfare recipients cover the full range of educational attainment

16% some college

42% completed high school

42% less than high school

Most welfare recipients have 1 or 2 children

41% 0-1 children

33% 2 children

16% 3 children

10% more than 3 children

Majority of welfare recipients have recent work experience

30% no recent work experience

70% some recent work experience

4.2 years average work experience

43% have worked in past 24 months

Average weeks worked in 24 months is 24 weeks

I am wondering how much these numbers have changed in 2013? And we need a reputable source not wikipedia.
You can have a look at these statistics on http://www.utexas.edu/depts/ic.....neral.html

Thanks for that wonderful quite from Andy Rooney. Anyone who didn’t find him the most lovable old curmudgeon on television obviously lacks a functioning brain. I own all if his books. And they’re wonderful.

I think you’ll like this clip from the sadly defunct ‘Infomania’ on CurrentTV:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v.....038;sns=em

I watch it whenever I need a laugh.

Kelli, I’ve heard similar idiocies spouted by hit-and-runners like yourself repeatedly on this web page over and over again, so I can only laugh at your anger and stupidity.

“Our society is declining” — that garbage has been spouted by everyone who hit the age of 50 since the Babylonians. An early Greek document bemoans the behavior of “modern youth,” for “talking back to their elders,” crossing their legs impertinently, and “gobbling up all the dainties.”

In the 1970s, Andy Rooney wrote a column in which he noted that a former football player, Andy Robustelli, complained there were more injuries in the game because the players of the 1970s were not as tough as when he took the field in the 1950s.

Rooney wrote about remembering that when Robustelli played, President Eisenhower had delivered a speech to say that moral standards weren’t has high among the youth as they were when he was planting sweet corn in his backyard there.

Rooney added some lines I will share with you, verbatim: “Last Thanksgiving some clergyman in Chicago was complaining about sexual freedom among the young. He said he wondered what the Pilgrims would think if they could see the dances they were doing today instead of the minuet.” (Bear in mind, this was in the 1970s, now seen as the “good old days” by aging Baby Boomers)

“Frankly, I think the pioneers would watch for a few minutes and then try to get with it. We are all evidence of the fact that the Pilgrim Fathers weren’t always minueting. For every Pilgrim Father there was a Pilgrim Mother.

“I think the reason for all these disparaging remarks by the old about the young is obvious. Because of the intimations death in the color of their hair, the stoop of their shoulder or the sag of their chin, older people are at a disadvantage with the young and they know it.

“Elders resent the suggestion, implicit in young people’s attitude, that they are young as a matter of their own choice. As a result, older people try to get even by saying kids aren’t what they used to be when they were kids.

“It’s just amazing how long this country has been going to hell without ever having got there.”

And in 1940, opinion polls of the time declared that the American youth was a “leftist, flabby, licentious lot.” That youth is now known as the “Greatest Generation,” for winning an unimaginably bloody World War. Pretty interesting how that “leftist, flabby, licentious lot” rose to the occasion, hey?

Now about the “patriot” groups being denounced as hate groups…maybe you should read this page a little bit more and do some research, and you’ll see how these “patriot groups” seem to love their country, while hating 90 percent of the people in it, including their government, and busily plot secession and insurrection. Don’t see very much “patriotism” there.

As for the Black Panthers, etc., you are not doing your research…tap the “search” button, and you’ll find plenty of stories about the New Black Panthers, the Moorish Nation, and other groups. La Raza has been dealt with — despite right-wing claims to the contrary, they are not a hate group.

Kelli, you should do more research, more reading, more study, and more learning.

And as for “who cares any more?” Talk with the victims of these nutters….like the people Buford Furrow shot at, the jurors Bill White threatened, the Vietnamese fisherman Louis Beam threatened, the judge Matthew Hale harassed, or the family of Mulugeta Seraw, Mathew Shepard, and Beulah Mae Donald. They might give you somewhat differing views.

What I do find disturbing are the posts from those who would compare groups that commit violent actions against innocent citizens in order to push their agendas with those who use peaceful and legal means of achieving their ends.

Somehow we have been cursed as a society with those who cannot discern or distinguish the difference of violence and hate against that of civil demonstrations and peaceful discourse as it pertains to civil rights.

So please read and become learned on your topic before making silly accusations or consider your own suggestion
to shut up.

Search for the New Black Panther Party in regard to the SPLC. You will find that you are horribly wrong.

The Federal Government AND State governments LE agencies have groups devoted to Domestic Terror. Tim McVeigh slaughtered children instead of working to get the AG to take real responsibility for the fiasco at Waco.
Gang members certainly fall under the auspices of Domestic Terror organizations. There may be a closer relationship between the two organizations than superficially realized: they both harm people of color.

The Aryan Brotherhood is a prison gang. Aryan Nations was a Christian Identity- NeoNazi structure outside prison.
The Aryan Brotherhood is more a criminal organization than a racist one. they originated from the Blue Birds and the Diamond Tooth prison gangs that WERE racist in ideology first and foremost. Now thy could simply a crime family inside prison walls.
However you ARE correct in that there are more informers and “members” in DT organizations than most other organizations of that genre’.

There are more people on welfare who are white, and not just because of numbers, but, because of the different types of welfare.

Ruslan:

“Implying that…

1. Welfare was designed for blacks.
2. Black people are bought off by liberals, which in turn implies that they are lazy.
3. You don’t know anything about how unemployment works.”

Correct.

Welfare, under the FDR administration was created for all Americans, but, the American South through its racist practices destroyed any entitlements for black women domestics and Mexican laborers.

Erika:

“And if you really want to be technical, Social Security is the largest “welfare” program.”

Correct.

The biggest form of entitlement, it is a system where those who are working now are paying for the benefits of the preceding generation.

A.D.M.:

“…..but you want to keep pushing this bullshit about blacks. I guess black folks for every negative thing that goes on in the U.S.”

All too true.

But, I will say that black American citizens have done more to help this nation live up to its purported ideals (“life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, Bill of Rights, U.S. Constitution”) through their fight to help all Americans via the Civil Rights Acts of 1866, 1870, 1871, and 1875; Voting Rights Act of 1965; Civil Rights Act of 1964 , etc……….and for that, black Americans will never be forgiven.

Maybe you should have paid more attention in school because you obviously haven’t learned very much history or economics.

Where did you go to school? For K-12, I went to some of the finest schools in the country*. And my parents’ tax dollars paid for them. So shut your damned racist mouth, Paultard.

*According to Newsweek

And the reason why there are so many people without jobs is that our government serves corporations and the ultrarich who have always wanted to keep a certain level of unemployment to keep everyone’s wages down. Add in the movement of jobs overseas thanks to the slashing of the corporate and marginal tax rates (money paid to employees is tax deductable, hence a lower tax rate removes the incentives of companies to hire more people) and you see that our government has intentionally at the behest of the top 1% who sponsor both political parties has been systemically destroying the standard of living for the majority of people.

And yes, a very large portion of “welfare” paid by our government is in fact paid to large corporations – and the military has for years largely been a “workfare” program as Congress funds projects which the military doesn’t even want to create jobs in their districts. And don’t look now, but many enlisted people in the military have families which receive “welfare” because the military doesn’t pay enough to support a family and even if the spouse works it will probably also not pay enough. Yes, our economy is so slanted to the rich that there are now two income families with children who qualify to receive “welfare” because it is so difficult to find a job which actually pays a living wage.

Well we definitely have real hate groups and real hate crime so I don’t see why the FBI would do something so foolish.

Other than if they had people planted in such groups in order to feed them information.

Let’s see that’s a hard sale you guys are making up there and anything short of someone I trusted working for the FBI, in person, up front and personal telling me that they actually did such a thing…well I just can’t buy into the FBI setting up a front, other than for intelligence gathering purposes.

We have real haters in America that commit real hate crimes with horrible intentions and those people have nothing absolutely nothing to do with the FBI.

It’s the wrong thing to do. They want to skate under the eyes of their state and federal laws. And I believe more so Federal laws because in an area that hires the majority of those born and raised in it who are also inundated with hate they may choose to turn and look the other way because they believe in what these hate groups are doing.

It’s disgusting.

Citizens need to be trained on how to better recognize these homegrown terrorists, and who to report it to.

It’s disgusting. Just like that monster who shot all those Sikhs, what do you think it did to the rest of their community?

Think about the absolute fear and demoralization that it caused. It’s the same thing with running over a black man just trying to get to his vehicle to go home from work. What sort of message does that send to the surrounding community.

They use methods that would degrade and demoralize their victims and others in the communities in which they live.

They are disgusting human beings that should not be tolerated.

Implying that…

1. Welfare was designed for blacks.
2. Black people are bought off by liberals, which in turn implies that they are lazy.
3. You don’t know anything about how unemployment works.

You disappoint me, Sam. I thought you were making more progress.

Do you think anyone WANTS to be on welfare? Do you have any idea how DEGRADING it is?

Jeez, but you can be a real pigdog sometimes.

Well let’s see how about the Neo Nazi that ran into the Sikh temple and shot everyone? I don’t think he represented the FBI. And neither do the hate groups that inflict harm and violence upon minorities and religious groups.

It undermines everyone’s intelligence when people decide to spew lies just to cause confusion. It’s a really bad plan.
@Jeronimus; I think their victims may disagree with you.
