Your examples and what I've said are worlds apart.
So let's see here, if I generalize and stereotype an entire group by saying what's true for a portion is true for the whole, I am a racist.
If I don't generalize and specifically indicate what problems a portion of a population is having, I am a racist hiding behind a disclaimer.
I'm damned if I do, and damned if I don't.
I think that he is getting at the fact that using those be-be kids is inaccurate because there aren't that many of them in comparison to those that work blood, sweat, and tears but just aren't educated enough to drag themselves out of poverty. A demiquote from Barack Obama's book the Audacity of Hope.
The news reports the story about the welfare momma with seven kids, but fails to cover the story about the mother that came back from ten hours to work and can't be there for her child.
That isn't the direct quote, but you get what I mean.
