[QUOTE="MikeCarra, post: 65247363"] Such sweet naivete! You may have missed it in the 1960's when SUBURBS were being developed there was a thing called "white flight" leaving MANY inner city areas largely african American. Most people over the age of 30 have heard about this. It was a real thing. Only recently have whites started moving back into the inner city in large numbers, usually in a form of "gentrification" (a term almost no one uses for african americans moving into a neighborhood). Now, obviously you are quite young and may be completely unaware of the fact that even today the inner cities are populated more by minorities. And you ask a reasonable question for a newborn babe to the planet earth. It is quite painful to see someone dodging the kind of rhetoric the Right partakes of because we ALL know what was meant. We do! We are NOT IDIOTS, despite what the GOP and Tea Party would have us think. I assume that Paul Ryan is somewhat older and probably knows the score. He KNEW what he was saying. And if was thinking about whites or non-minorities when he said it, he should have made that clear....because almost NO ONE ON EARTH means that when they utter "inner city" and "poor" in the same sentence. Welcome to earth! [/QUOTE]
