Newt Gingrich berates poor and black children

Published Dec. 18, 2011

Gingrich's implication that poor and black children are lazy and undisciplined is the same racist and revisionist historical argument that was used in defense of slavery, Jim Crow segregation and job discrimination. He adds to this insult that black teenagers should become cheap labor to replace janitorial services. I wonder how many homes of the "really poor" and working poor Mr. Gingrich has visited.
