half of the people in this country have IQs below average You know what? White people need to step up to the fact that their own racism and stupid voting habits are causing their pain, stop trying to put that off on other people. Talk about a group that refuses to take responsibility for their own choices and actions....

I just read this article in NYT about how Obama and his Democratic policies single handedly saved the Indiana economy from total ruin and they paid him back by voting out Dems in the next few cycles. Same people who want to whine about "black privilege" and feel SO aggrieved that they do not get their fair share. And I am like, We are KILLING ourselves trying to GIVE you your share but you refuse to take it. My mother called this "Cutting off you nose despite your face". I call it "Some people can't be helped and also, You can't fix stupid".

Here is a link to the article if anyone is interested. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/03/us/politics/obama-donald-trump-economy-indiana.html?_r=0
