CHARLES M. BLOW ON GOP AGENDA, PART FOUR

Charles M. Blow's three articles on the GOP Agenda and evident racism  synthesize the ideologies of many GOP candidate hopefuls such as Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, and Ron Paul as leading signs of no concern for poor folks in America, with underlying facets of racism towards black people.  In his article "Newt's War on Poor Kids", Blow suggests that Gingrich's agenda doesn't concern the plight of the poor black kid in America, as they are a product of an unproductive society, therefore are a liability that shouldn't be dealt with.  Blow then reflects on the growing disparity between the poor and the rich in America, and the tall tale signs of a country in denial, including Republicans in power, that refuse to acknowledge the devastating poverty rampant in the streets of the United States.  Blow ends his trio of scathing editorials concerning the GOP agenda with a mark up of heinous statements made by Presidential hopefuls such as Gingrich, Santorum and Paul that all subject the black race to poor standards, and all insinuate that the black male lives for welfare while doing little to help his own situation.

    Fine job on looking at Charles Blow's more 'scathing' remarks here. Continue to cite text as you analyze his rhetoric.
