The Debits of Whiteness: Tea Party/GOP Racism and the S&P Credit Downgrade

More broadly, the downgrade reflects our view that the effectiveness, stability, and predictability of American policymaking and political institutions have weakened at a time of ongoing fiscal and economic challenges to a degree more than we envisioned when we assigned a negative outlook to the rating on April 18, 2011.

Since then, we have changed our view of the difficulties in bridging the gulf between the political parties over fiscal policy, which makes us pessimistic about the capacity of Congress and the Administration to be able to leverage their agreement this week into a broader fiscal consolidation plan that stabilizes the government’s debt dynamics any time soon.

Everyone... especially the Tea Party and GOP KNOWS that all Blacks and Hispanics are on welfare.

Except reality is:

White 38.8%
Black 39.8
Hispanic 15.7
Asian 2.4
other 3.3

    ^^ LOL! That's funny! Of course it makes sense too. The gulf spill, the tonanadoes, the winter freeze last year. Just out of curiousity, where did the CONservatives think the victims of these disasters were going to get financial aid from? The banks? yeah, right. :)

    I am sure your statistics on the percentages of the various ethnic groups on welfare are correct, but when you analyze your statistics

    White 38.8% Black 39.8 Hispanic 15.7 Asian 2.4 other 3.3

    Against the demographics of the population

    Whites 64.7% Hispanics 16.0% African Americans 12.9% Asian Americans 4.6%

    You get a little more perspective on the what the stistics mean

    I disagree with the article author's premise that the Republican opposition to Obama is strictly a racist motivated activity, but thought the statistics you presented were totally out of context.

    Take care

      If you break down the above numbers per capita, whites are no where near the most who use welfare...that would be blacks. Your so-called "facts" are a fallacy.

      Speaking of facts, I know I'd like to see some facts on who's really using the most welfare. Does anybody have the stats AND NOT opinion atricles or reports?

      As I've stated on post# 1.2, it only makes sense that the anglos are now the majority users of welfare these days. That tornado in Joby didn't just tear up a hospital, it tore up a whole town. The floods in the Dakotas, How 'bout the feezeand snowstorms last winter that capt. dumbass Glenn Beck stated was proof that Global Warming wasn't happening? Despite the fact that it's global warming up north that sent the storms down to the NE U.S.

      Anyway, I personally would like to see the actual stats on who the "bad people" are. Seeing as how, for some odd reason, people on welfare are seen as bad people. At least in this column.

      There are approximately 250,000,000 whites in the U.S. and 40,000,000 blacks, which means:

      97,000,000 whites are on welfare

      and

      15,920,000 blacks are on welfare

      Not that it matters. There should be a safety-net for all who need it.

      Math is a useful skill; learn some!

      Math is a useful skill; learn some!

      If you're talking to me, may I suggest you do the same. The above % are who are on welfare as a whole, NOT what % of a certain race are on welfare. First, you would need to know the total number of who are on welfare THEN you can come up with the numbers of race X; but without the total number, you cannot. Your numbers are in error.

      Drag... you're listening to your own voices in your head. I never said anything about there being more Whites on welfare than Blacks. I said "the Tea Party and GOP KNOWS that all Blacks and Hispanics are on welfare". This is clearly not true... and as a percentage of the total, are roughly tied with Blacks.

      Folks, it's not what % of race X are on welfare, but rather what % (out of a 100) of those on welfare belong to race X. Again, if you break it down to per capita it's not even close.

      ^^^Robert Bartholomew, don't be so angry. You've placed the stats that have been given for everyone to see.

      The post #1 clearly DOES show what percentage of welfare users are of a certain race. So your math is NOT wrong. Not even per capita.

      Hi RB, glad to see you posted this article and seeded it. But I thought the topic was about "whiteness, repug and the Teabaggers and their racism that is causing turmoil in our very foundation and economy.

      The topic has been derailed by talk of which race is receiving more assistance. Is this the aim of these derailers? I know they don't want to discuss the article that shows these un-Americans, i.e., Teabaggers and repugs, for who they truly are: racist, small minded, hateful scum of the earth.

      It's a good thing Obama is half white, or he would be giving black people a bad name.

      Bush nominated a qualified black woman to Secretary of State. Obama selected a Political nomination for S of S. Enough said.

      Some Democrats are "racers", the only argument they can throw out to defend the Failure in Chief. Obama doesn't get elected in 2009 unless he gets the white vote. End of accusations, quit name calling and race baiting in the name of Obama, he ain't worth the effort.

      besides, it doesn't work anymore, if it ever worked. But just like keeping Geithner in as Treasurer, I don't really mind as it seals the deal on the 2012 elections. We be drinking Tea on Jan. 2013.

          ^^^ Yeah, you're right. derailing is a big tactic on a debate forum. But yeah, as long as we still keep an eye on the actual subject, you can't be fooled by however many derailment attempts happen. :)

          The stats, by the way come from some Obama haters that try to spread this knowledge to derive more hate.

          But even if it hadn't come from haters and the stats are completely, historically true, the fact that we've had a gulf oil spill disaster, an artic freeze, tornados, and floods, some in various places where it wasn't likely to happen, levies not capable of holding back the gulf waters anymore, extreme heat and drought making it harder to put out those fires in the west.....

          That's a lot of people who've lost thier homes. Again just off the natural disasters. Of course there's going to be more and more white americans on welfare these days. So yeah, the TP "bowel" Movement, the CONservatives, the Repugs, and every speaker for them, whether on radio(rush slimeball) or at conventions(witchcraft bachmann) are all wrong in saying the non-whites are all on welfare. :)

              The only way Wisconsin loses is if Unions win

              Wisconsin was here way before walker, and will be here after he's gone. The only way Wisconsin loses is that walker remains. The unions will win.

              "Union overlords"??

              You mean the total average of 12% of the workforce that's unionized is really running things?!

              Wow! Amazing!

              No I dont think they should pledge anything ,they should make decisions based on the issues. Yes the 12 % of the population was running things in Wisconsin through the buying of legislators. Just as FDR said there is no place for unions in government employment.

              You obviously have never experienced first hand the negative effects union rules can have. I saw it for the first time while still in college ,applying for a summer job in Wisconsin. The company advertised in april for summer help. We went to fill out app. they told us it was for the following summer 15 months away, Why? Because they said it would take that long to advertise the job to the union members , give them first dibs then backfill all their jobs, the job was outside maintenance. The union guys wanted to work outdoors in the late spring but then move back inside when the heat and humidity started up so the consequence was you had summer college kids with a day's training doing the jobs of the "highly skilled and trained" union members. Well at least the reject rate of defects went down when the college kids were working those jobs!

                a1623AlgonquinmutT,

                I know, I just don't quite get it how any average middle class person can be against unions. There wouldn't even be a middle class if it weren't for the brave men and women who joined together and stood up to the abusive practices of most of the mining and manufacturing companies at the turn of the 20th century.

                They paved the way for so many of the things we take for granted. Like the ones you pointed out.

                I wonder how many of any race who are on welfare have dead beat dads who do not pay child support to the family? Are there any stitistics on that?

                There is at least on Tea Party member of congress that qualifies as a dead beat dad, and he's not black! Go figure, he's white, and a tea party politician!!

                We could pay off the National Debt if we could tax those who throw down the race card every time something does not go their way.

                  S&P

                  Since then, we have changed our view of the difficulties in bridging the gulf between the political parties over fiscal policy, which makes us pessimistic about the capacity of Congress and the Administration to be able to leverage their agreement this week into a broader fiscal consolidation plan that stabilizes the government's debt dynamics any time soon.

                  Sounds like S&P is begging for the Tea Party's actions, even the Paul Ryan Budget had entitlement reforms and 4 Trillion in spending cuts, plus some revenues. Obama and friends played politics and got slapped for not doing their JOBS.

                  We will have a slight increase in the unemployment numbers shortly after the year 2012 ends. DC beltway insiders being kicked to the curb.
