Pat Buchanan<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Second, no people anywhere has done more to lift up blacks than white Americans. Untold trillions have been spent since the \u201960s on welfare, food stamps, rent supplements, Section 8 housing, Pell grants, student loans, legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits and poverty programs designed to bring the African-American community into the mainstream.

Angry Black Woman<\/a> provides the gratitude:<\/p>\n

Thank you, White people, for all you\u2019ve done for Blacks.<\/p>\n

Thank you for kidnapping and\/or buying my ancestors in Africa, packing them onto ships where malnutrition, disease, anti-hygenic conditions, beatings, and rape ensured that a significant percentage did not survive the trip, but enough did for you to turn a profit.<\/p>\n

Thank you for enslaving my ancestors, forcing them to labor in the fields and in your houses for no pay (room and board is certainly enough!), in poor living conditions, without education, without their families, in many cases, and without hope that their lives would ever get better.<\/p>\n

Thank you for raping and beating my ancestors, I appreciate it. Thanks also for forcing them to \u201cbreed\u201d as if they were animals, selecting out certain men and women for their strength, hoping that their children would be strong, too, and be able to pick more cotton or engage in other work you couldn\u2019t be bothered to do yourself.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There’s lots more, so read the whole thing<\/a>. (And notice the familiar cartoon she links to at the end.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
