"Take a look at the CEOs of Fannie Mae,
Freddie Mac, AIG and the Lehman Brothers. I know, the first thing that
jumps out about these faces is that they all happen to be white... and
they all happen to be responsible for stealing.
"But what you have to
understand is that these whites are a product of a society that made
them that way. It was the neighborhoods and the schools they went to:
Harvard, Yale, the Wharton School of Business. They never learned the
value of doing real, actual work and the first step to fixing that is
better role models, so kids growing up white today don’t think the only
way out of Westchester is corporate crime. Or a government handout or
sailing.
"So, I get it, the temptation is to look at John McCain and vote against him because you don’t see an individual, you just see another typical welfare whitey.
"And it’s true, he’s spent his entire life shuffling from one low-paying government job to another. Well, except those years he spent in prison! Typical! And between you and me, he’s not very articulate. Oh, he may have some street smarts, but he’s not what you call an educated man. He freely admits he’s ignorant about the economy...
"And
apparently the only thing his white running mate knows how to do is
crank out one baby after another. And now of course, her teenage
daughter is pregnant out of wedlock. Because she learns it at home!
"But that doesn’t mean we should assume all white people are like that, just because so many of them are. I believe there is hope. I believe even the stupidest, greediest, laziest whites can break the cycle of dependence...
"Like this November when George Bush finally moves out of public housing."
