Paul Ryan Criticized for Comments about Inner City Unemployment

In March, House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan (white republican) was quoted as saying that there is a "tailspin of culture, in our inner cities in particular, of men not working and just generations of men not even thinking about working or learning to value the culture of work."

Ryan's quote, which would be hard for anyone to refute, was criticized for being racially insensitive.  As a result of the whining "uproar" of the liberal left (California Democrat Barbara Lee condemned Ryan's comments by calling them "a thinly veiled racial attack (that) cannot be tolerated."), Ryan has agreed to meet with the Congressional Black Caucus to discuss the issue of poverty.  Will the Congressional Black Caucus be interested in discussing the issue of poverty, or just the issue of poverty as it pertains to blacks? Perhaps at a later date, Republican Ryan can meet with the Congressional White Caucus to discuss racial hypocrisy. Oh, wait, there is no... That's racist!
