    What does welfare have to do with race? There are far more whites on welfare than any other ethnic group.

    I think you're confusing the topics a bit.

    Welfare should have nothing to do with race, and ideally it would not when people use the word. The point I am making, however, is that Republican politicians use this word to subtly refer to specific groups of people, like blacks. The word "handouts" is similar.

    See Romney fucking up with his 47% comment. He said half the country is expecting "handouts" or something similar, but it can be very reasonably inferred that he was referring to black people, whose vote he mostly had to give up on trying to get.

    Easy. Ad hominem.

    Instead of offering any proof to support your claim, you placed the onus on me in a personal and irrelevant manner by saying I'm in "denial".

    If that's how you try to get a point across, why are you bothering with this conversation?

    Also, you missed my point by a country mile and a half.

    Silly.

    Take out "in denial" and my point remains that you are wrong because Republican politicians do, in fact, do this.

    You mean the "conversation" where we pretend that there is an actual difference between the 2 parties when it comes to social welfare policy?

    I could ask you the same question...you are not seriously proposing that there is a meaningful difference, are you?

    No, they don't. They're a lot of bad things but racist ain't one of them.

    You continue to miss my point completely. I am in not talking about social welfare policy. I am talking about racist language (that is sometimes coded).

    Wow.

    Just wow.

    I assume you didn't read the article or click the links contained therein, because it is filled with recent examples regarding multiple people that prove you are flat-out wrong.

    Oh..ok..and this "coded racist language" results in exactly what differences between the 2 parties when it comes to implementing or not implementing a certain policy?

    (I will hang up and listen to your answer...thanks)
