Boogie boogie....


61 percent of welfare recipients are White, while 33 percent are Black, according to xxxx xxxxx xxxx statistics


*scratches nose*


Come on boyo, what's in the Xs, and who is the source?


Could it be?

Yes it could

Something's happening, something good...

Something toni....

Come on teddy bear, I'm just trying to find out if you care?


What's your position?


You make a lot of claims about black people milking the welfare state, so I assume you believe them.


So I'm wondering whether if I can prove that it's a bunch of old charlie you're going to change your mind?


I don't think so, I just think you listen to emotionally charged hate stuff. You don't care about truth, you care about skin colour.


I'm playing a little game with you regarding several sources, whether it's US Census, the Department of Agriculture or whoever. Most of whom developed their figures under a republican government. No census since Bush ;-)


I don't think you care, I think you've established a teeny weeny position where you've started to judge people by the colour of their skin.


Whilst I think that makes you a sad small little person, I don't want other people to listen to your nonsense and think it's true.


That's why I'm crapping on.

Doesn't it even out though? Given that hispanics, africans etc and other non-caucasian descendants make up around 12% of the US population it would be correct to assume that blacks and whites are no more likely to be receiving welfare than each other. If anything, socio-economic background, and location/ circustance is likely to have a far greater bearing on unemployment. It just so happens that many migrants find themsleves at the bottom of the ladder, and it makes sense to me for any government to give opportunity to those willing to take it, to work.
I don't really understand why anyone would be interested in racial distribution of welfare payments. But statements like "recipients are 37.2 percent Black and 46.2 percent White" are quite meaningless when not accompanied by the ethnic breakdown of the population.

...And of 6.82% of all statistics, whilst made up on the spot, are not made up by moronic trolls - meaning approx. 12% of made-up-on-the-spot statistics are moron-free and therefore can be taken at face value.


This is assuming the initial statistic wasn't made up.

    • I'd also like to highly recommend Niko. He just replaced the extraction fan in our bathroom, having previously installed a new tap for us. Fast, professional and a really great guy. 
    • Agree with this. He's stood down from his role in Cabinet having left the Party, but he was elected as a representative of all the constituents in his ward and logic suggests that he should continue to represent them as a councillor for his remaining 3 months. He might wish to stand again, as a Green, in that ward (if he's chosen) and hope that personal loyalty to him might transfer, but that's now the call of his (new) party and him. He will have to balance that with a view about how many of his Labour supporters will feel sufficiently betrayed to continue to support Labour. I suspect, I may be wrong, that he will not have a cabinet position open to him after May (unless the Greens sweep in locally) so presumably he will have to consider his next career move, and whether that's back to full-time primary teaching.
