What happens when liberals with an agenda decide to attack someone speaking about the problems facing urban populations? The racism card gets played, and it’s wrong. Recently, Rep. Paul Ryan was describing the culture of welfare dependency that is thriving in America’s cities, and now he’s being labeled a racist. While what he was talking about might qualify as ‘racism’ because black Americans make up an disproportionate number of poor urbanites, that doesn’t mean it is ‘racism.’ The reality is, there are huge swathes of the population- white, black, or other- that get handouts from the government to cover their food, cell phones and now healthcare. What Rep. Ryan was refering to was the feeling that these handouts are a fact of life, and that needs to change.
