Ryan to Meet With Black Lawmakers After stupid 'Inner Cities' remark

This from a guy who's never held a job in the private sector. Hypocrite much Ryan?

After being criticized as racially insensitive for his comments on unemployment in "inner cities," House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., will meet with the Congressional Black Caucus next week to discuss the issue of poverty, an aide for the CBC says.

"Congressman Ryan is a nice guy, and as such you know he has tried to frame the comments that he made about inner city folk as just sort of an inarticulate way of communicating," CBC member Rep. Gwen Moore, D-Wis., said during a conference call with reporters today. "We want to challenge his assumptions about that and really raise with him a couple of very specific proposals."

"We are happy that representative Ryan wants to engage in this conversation, and we're not going to let him get away with sort of a sleight of hand on this," she said. "We know how to crunch numbers as well."

In March, Ryan said during an appearance on 'Bill Bennett's Morning in America' radio show that there is a "tailspin of culture, in our inner cities in particular, of men not working and just generations of men not even thinking about working or learning to value the culture of work."

1. On a side note,

I love your screen name.

2. Prediction: Ryan - "I'm sorry if you people were offended by what I said.

I know it isn't all of you people. It's cultural. You people do have some good ones, almost as good as white, and maybe someday, you people will be a credit to your race."

That's pretty much his mindset...

4. I'd advise against reading the comments section of the article linked to.

They actually make Ryan's words positive by comparison. The anonymity of the internet brings out the worst in many people.

3. They shouldn't meet with him

Put him in the too wet to step on and too low to kick pile - just as the rank and file rest of us in black America have done.
