Tea-partying deadbeat dad Joe Walsh has ‘a dream’ that black men won’t be deadbeat dads

Tea-partying deadbeat dad Joe Walsh has ‘a dream’ that black men won’t be deadbeat dads

Former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) ignored his own personal history in invoking civil rights history on his radio show on Wednesday in a concern-trolling appropriation of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have A Dream” speech.

According to Mother Jones, Walsh, who was sued in 2011 for owing more than $100,000 in child support, accused leaders in the African-American community of avoiding responsibility for their own problems and placing the blame on larger institutions.

“I have a dream that young black men won’t become fathers until after they’re married and they have a job,” Walsh said at one point. “I have a dream that young unmarried black women will say “no” to young black men who want to have sex. I have a dream that today’s black leadership will quit blaming racism and “the system” for what ails black America.”

WIND AM560 is the 'crackpottier' and less successful of the two Chicago conservative stations.
