Sure, those who are breading like rabbits on the South Side of Chicago are doing so because their priest told them not to use contraception.
Next, Kevin will assure us AGAIN that Joe is snappy and that Trump colluded with Russia.
Wow, how unabashedly racist of you. "Breeding," not "having children." "Like rabbits," not like humans.
Shame on you.

GOOD GOD, Candy, don't climb into Boiler's racist clown car by using that awful phrase!
Slaves didn't have children in the old South; they were "bred." And how did they breed? Not like humans, because they weren't considered to be human. Instead, "like rabbits," which wasn't even true from a biological comparison standpoint.
Another clown car you should debark from is the idea that poor (BLACK!!!!) people have children just so they can get government assistance. Their supposed goals aside, the math doesn't work. The cost of raising a child to maturity (18) is more than four times all the accumulated government benefits its parents could collect.
I'm sorry, but I hate racism, and I hate dumb racist tropes and stereotypes even more. Boilershit maybe doesn't know any better--so many of his postings are obviously made without thought--but you do.
Booooo!

I knew you were going to get it, Candy. :)
Who said anything about "poor (BLACK !!!) people" except you, Kevin. I'm not familiar with the population of the South Side of Chicago, might be all poor white for all I know. And I don't know much about rabbits except that I've heard they breed rather quickly. Government assistance for low income 'families' isn't a myth, it is a fact. And many low income Blacks and whites get by on those checks for a variety of reasons, another fact. Not racist, fact. But you can look at it that way.
I've probably lived and worked and been friends with more persons of the Black race than you ever thought about having. I live in a 90% black to white neighborhood. Moved here in 1987, a brand new home, our first home, mostly a white neighborhood at the time as far as I know. Soon after we moved in the school system/bussing etc. was re-drawn and white flight happened. My husband had just made significant improvements to the house including a sprinkler system he dug and installed himself, enlarged the dining room and added a large deck to the small one. We were happy, had no intention of moving for any reason, both of us happy in our jobs and life. After the flight we had wonderful Black neighbors, and still do. My best neighbor friends left and right and across the street are Black, have been life savors to me since my husband died, and I try to be good neighbor to them. House is paid off, it is actually a quiet neighborhood, no crime that I'm aware of, and house is paid off. When the neighborhood was developed somebody gave all the streets Civil War names, e.g. Gettysburg, Bull Run, Antietam. I don't know of any complaints being lodged, it is what it is. I'm at the wrong end of the end of life scale, don't plan on moving.
My first job, City of Memphis Hospitals, Black patients, Black staff, loved the job. I don't live in Memphis anymore because husband got a job where I am now. In all of my nursing jobs I've worked along side of, supervised and been supervised Black and white persons. I had to fire one white nurse (she was worthless) and one Black nurse (she was good when good but more bad than good so she had to go). When I gave her walking papers she actually thanked me and told me I was the best supervisor she'd ever had! I must have been doing something right.

You don't have to justify anything. Kevin has no black friends. That I could about guarantee. He just likes to get up high on his liberal horse at times.

Boiler specifically referred to the South Side of Chicago. He was obviously talking about...well, whaddya think, GREEN people?

I'm not going to recite a list of my Black friends, because that's irrelevant. I just want to ask you one thing, Candy:
You see a Black friend for the first time in several years. She and her husband have five young children. DO YOU SAY:
"Wow, you two have been breeding like rabbits!"
I can partially excuse Boilerboob, because he's really ignorant and may not realize that referring to Black people having children as "breeding" is a reference to slavery and is highly pejorative. Maybe you remember controversies over Black athletes being called "Boy"? Same thing.
And your implication that Black people have children just to get welfare checks is, sorry, beyond horrid. Are you not aware that conservatives have been bleating that since the Johnson administration? And it simply isn't true. Even the maximum family welfare benefits don't come close to paying for raising and caring for a child.
You should know better than to espouse that conservative red meat myth. Especially given your professional background.
Jerry: I know you're just stirring the pot. You know damn well what I'm objecting to when Boiler talks about Black people "breeding like rabbits."
Boiler: You're a disgusting racist.
Candy: I'm going to attribute your perhaps unintentional flogging of the "welfare queen" myth to carelessness. Aside from saying that Black people have babies ("breed") just to steal from the government, you know damn well that the math doesn't work. Boiler may be that ignorant. You're not.
I'm not buying it that any of you doesn't know that "breeding" is an extremely pejorative way to refer to creating a family. And "breeding like rabbits" is an awful way to refer to having a large family.
You all should be ashamed. But you'll all make excuses. I'm done here
Oh, and Boiler, don't forget to deflect by saying something about "Liberals."
Kevin, I'm done with this. You have your interpretation of my comments. Nothing I say will change that.
