“What is riskier than living poor in America? Seriously! What in the world is riskier than being a poor person in America? I live in a neighborhood where people are shot on my street corner. I live in a neighborhood where people have to figure out how to get their kid into school because maybe it will be a good school and maybe it won’t. I am sick of the idea that being wealthy is risky. No! …Being poor is what is risky!
We have to create a safety net for poor people. And when we won’t, because they happen to look different from us, it is the pervasive ugliness.
Never mind that the country has spent tens of trillions of dollars on Melissa's "Great Society", Section-8 plantations. Never mind that the U.S. has to borrow 40 cents of every dollar it spends. And never mind that Democrats have refused to pass a budget ever since Barack Obama took office.
Never mind all that. Simply consider the lunacy of this MSNBC crackpot.
• In Pakistan, women are murdered or disfigured for failing to wear the Niqab (full body covering).
Yesterday, the Pakistani unit of the Taliban announced not only that it demands “unislamic” businesses to close (CD shops, cable service providers and internet cafes) - they also warned women that they have 15 days to start wearing hijab - or have their faces maimed with acid... These guys claim to be out to destroy the “traitors of Allah” - while they go against every Qur’anic command to respect human rights.
...Now, an acid-maiming campaign is being launched - openly - against Pakistani women. Unlike when communities have been taken by surprise, the Pakistani Taliban has stated their gruesome, disgusting mission publicly. We cannot claim shock this time around.
• In India, acid is thrown on women's faces for failing to cover up:
UNICEF once reported a story about a baby girl whose father poured acid into her mouth because she was not the boy he wanted his wife to bring into the world. She grew up unable to speak or hear...
...Despite his years of training, [Doctor] Jawad admits that he was shocked, "I had not seen anything like it before. I had seen bigger burns and on a younger patient, but never facial burns of this nature. Unless acid is neutralised it just keeps going deeper and deeper into your skin. All of the patients I had treated had been the victims of accidents – this was attempted murder." In a pioneering operation, Jawad used Matriderm – a synthetic skin substitute – to re-form her face. It had such impressive results that Piper referred to the surgeon as her "hero".
Consider Harris-Perry reason #5,034 never, ever to watch MSLSD.
She knows nothing of logic, or reason, or of world history, or of the default condition of human-kind. She's never learned philosophy or economics. She has no idea how precious and fragile America is. She's never had to balance a budget. She's never visited the Sudan, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Cuba, or the old Soviet Union.
She is a lifelong Democrat and a simpleton. But I repeat myself.
Vote accordingly in November.
Well, that and most nations don't allow women to HAVE wealth, so they are all poor, however you look at it. Oh, and ignoring that muslims regularly behead women for being raped and Indians frequently burn their wives to death if they don't get more money from the parents, all legal, all the time. Not my problem, seriously, can't help.
ReplyDeleteBut... what is the worst for poor in America? That they get fat eating burgers because they have lazy parents? Well, starving and abuse, but that... is everywhere an always, I'm discussing the general more common "problems".
And yet she still lives here...
ReplyDeleteThe stupid will never wear off of people like Ms. Hyphenated.
ReplyDeleteThe 30% or so of those on public assistence who are, not starving, but MORBIDLY OBESE may illustrate the ignorance of that statement.
ReplyDeleteIf I had the time and the inclination I'd do a little research on where Ms. Harris-Perry really lives. But the truth is, she's not worth the effort. She's just a kool-aid-addicted shill.

Great job taking a quote out of its obvious economic context, all the while ignoring the importance of what Ms. Perry and Ms. Mehta were addressing...just to make your disconnected point.
ReplyDeleteSpending on social safety nets for the poor is small compared to what we spend it on for the military and the elderly. So sure, complain about what we borrow, but don't spread the myth that the "lazy" poor are the ones driving up the deficit.
...though I imagine you know EXACTLY what she was saying and simply do not care.
@Megan:
ReplyDeleteWe've spent $14.5 trillion on the failed "Great Society", Welfare Safety Nets, which have turned into Democrat Section 8 Plantations.
Read the linked article, then tell me what you're going to do differently to fix these failures.
This shrill black/white pampered woman is just trying to make herself feel good. People are being killed blocks from Obongos Chicago house too and it's stupid wimmen like her who vote the corrupt people into power that allow this to happen.
ReplyDeleteYo Missy Hyphenated daughter from biracial "teachers", you make your bed, you get to lie in it.
What can you expect from a woman who once wrote the following piece of drivel in her book Sister Citizen.
ReplyDelete“black feminist scholarship assumes that experiential knowledge has equal weight with empirical evidence.”
You have to remember that this poser studied for her Ph.D. at Duke under the same professors who brought you the infamous “Group of 88″ Letter in the LAX case.
"Spending on social safety nets for the poor is small "
ReplyDeleteUh, no it isn't.
You really ever look at numbers? I know they are scary and not emotionally rife with hidden meaning and lead us to worship a person, but give it a shot...
What in the world is riskier than being a poor person in America?:
