George Bush doesn't care about black people? Ask any good conservative nowadays, and they'll tell you that’s simply false. Right they are. Forget the fact that there are 7.4 million African-Americans without health insurance. Pay no mind that African-Americans incomes fell $2,000 since Bush became president. Throw out the notion that the unemployment rate for African-Americans is ten and half percent.
To say that George W. Bush doesn’t care about black people can be easily disputed because it just isn’t so.
Tell the 46 million Americans who don’t have any health insurance in the richest country in the world that George W. Bush doesn't care about black people, and they'll laugh in your face. Because it’s obvious he doesn't care about them either. Right now, a child is sick and wonders why her family cannot afford to take her to the doctor. She sees them on television, pretends to be one at school during recess, but her family cant afford to send her to one, to receive the adequate healthcare she do desperately needs.
Tell the families of the 2,492 coalition servicemen and servicewomen who have died in Operation Iraqi Freedom that George W. Bush doesn't care about black people, and they'll wonder why their race wasn't included. A war began and fought on the three biggest lies of the century (1. Iraq posed an imminent threat to America 2. Saddam had weapons of mass destruction 3. Iraq had ties with Al-Qaeda) took over two thousand men and women from their families. Those families will never again see their sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, mothers or fathers ever again. Why? Because George Bush doesn't care about them either.
Tell 98% of Americans, 274,400,000 of them in all, who did not and will not receive the majority of President Bush's tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans that he doesn't care about black people, and we'll ask you to open your eyes. While in the course of giving millions, sometimes billions to his already rich friends, we got either little or nothing. In fact, this is the only president in history to actually cut taxes during a time of war. While the president may be used to getting things handed to him in life, it is the rest of us who realize that you must pay for what you get. If Reaganomics taught us anything, its that making the rich richer doesn’t trickle down to anyone.
So, conservatives, you are right on when you say that no one has the right to say that George W. Bush doesn't care about black people. In fact, he doesn't care about a lot of us. If you are rich, evangelical Christian, rich, corrupted, rich, intolerant of others faiths or lack thereof, rich, or most importantly rich, then yes. Perhaps George Bush does care about you. Maybe he even loves you. But that’s between you and he. But, if you are like the rest of us: poor, middle/working class, public educated, liberal-Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu, Atheist, Agnostic, or multi-cultured, then there's bad news. George Walker Bush doesn't give a damn about you.
