Rick Santorum Says He’s Not Interested In Helping African-Americans (VIDEO)

Rick Santorum Says He’s Not Interested In Helping African-Americans (VIDEO)
January 2, 2012
By Stephen D. Foster Jr.

In what looks like a desperate bid to win over the mostly white population of voters in Iowa, Rick Santorum revived the old Republican tactic of attacking the African-American community.

While doing some last minute campaigning, Santorum declared that he doesn’t want to help blacks because he thinks they rely too much on welfare which includes Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid, food stamps, and unemployment benefits.

”I don’t want to make black people’s lives better by giving them other people’s money. I want to give them the opportunity to go out and earn their money and provide for themselves and their families. The best way to do that is to get the manufacturing sector of the economy rolling.”


--God I hate this man!
