As Long As It Is Off the Record It's Ok?
State Rep. Gene Alday, a Republican, told The Clarion-Ledger he was against increased funding for education, in particular funding to improve literacy. During his explanation, Alday said he comes "from a town where all the blacks are getting food stamps and what I call 'welfare crazy checks.' They don't work."
SO the logic is, don't fund education because all the blacks are on welfare?
And I don't know how this could have been said in any kind of context that is positive.
And and he was never supposed to have been quoted in the first place because his truer feelings were supposed to be off the record.
But then we wonder why the GOP has the perception problem it has. Things like this happen over and over and over....

What does that have to do with the discussion topic at hand?
The error here is not just about politics.

Re: As Long As It Is Off the Record It's Ok?
ok then, to rephrase it in more pointed terms, we look to our leaders expecting rational answers, when they have--prolly unbeknownst to them--entered the employ of satan, and must attempt to make sense of the senseless. The guy you reference works for people with a plainly stated goal of killing you; although of course it isn't put that way.
I know that this is not the answer you look for; but, having begun in error, all "answers" that proceed from this premise are going to be in error. Plus, i got dropped a lot as an infant...

Apparently that is not what he said...it was the article that linked that comment to funding education
"
"The interview, he just took me out of context," Alday said. "He asked for one thing and started asking another thing."
Alday elaborated in a followup story with the Clarion-Ledger.
" [Mitchell] asked me a question back to when I was in law enforcement," Alday said. "I have a way of talking and saying, 'take this off the record.'"
Alday also said he had no problem with African-Americans.
"Yes, it's true that most of the blacks in my hometown are on welfare," Alday told the newspaper. "But they're good people. I don't have anything against anybody. I'm a straight-up guy. In my little town they had little civil rights walks and I was with them. I'm with everybody.""

He said what he said while being interviewed for the article on education funding.
I don't believe anything was taken out of context, which is why the other Republicans in Mississippi distanced themselves from his comments IMMEDIATELY.
But let's say his comments were taken out of context. In what context is his comments not racist?

No of course you don't
The others do that to cover their own rear ends because they know from experience what people like you will do with that stuff to Republicans while giving Democrats a pass

JD racism is not speaking factually about statistics in a certain area...thats the problem is how people distort ANYTHING said by a white man as racism.
If a black man said it, its not racism....

He wasn't presenting facts in a presentation.
If he wanted to speak factually about the welfare recipients, there is a way to do that.
From his language, that's not what was going on.
