Newt: African Americans Should Get Off Food Stamps, Demand Paychecks

Campaigning in New Hampshire today, Newt promised potential voters at a town hall that he would personally pay a visit to the NAACP and explain to the organization why African Americans need to ditch food stamps.

“I will go to the NAACP convention, and explain to the African-American community why they should demand paychecks instead of food stamps,” said Gingrich.

6. Really Newt? Do you honestly believe that people want to go

through the things they have to go through just to get a few hundred dollars in food stamps and assistance each month? You fucking idiot. And why is it always black folks....THERE ARE MORE WHITE PEOPLE on the rolls by simple virtue of numbers than black people. OUR ENTIRE US POPULATION IS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 12 TO 13 %! Trust me when I say that NOT ALL BLACK PEOPLE ARE ON WELFARE you pox on the butt of humanity!

7. You mean a universal basic income as opposed to food stamps? Sounds great to me.
