Mitt Romney, burdened white man

Boss Romney, with mint julep in  hand, reclining in his white rocker on the spacious veranda of "the luxurious King David Hotel," just can't get over how inadequate them colored folk is to those vastly clever, culturally superior Jews:

As you come here and you see the GDP per capita, for instance, in Israel which is about $21,000 dollars, and compare that with the GDP per capita just across the areas managed by the Palestinian Authority, which is more like $10,000 per capita, you notice such a dramatically stark difference in economic vitality.... I recognize the power of at least culture and a few other things.

The AP corrects Boss Romney, who always happens to be eminently correctable:

The economic disparity between the Israelis and the Palestinians is actually much greater than Romney stated. Israel had a per capita gross domestic product of about $31,000 in 2011, while the West Bank and Gaza had a per capita GDP of just over $1,500, according to the World Bank.

But so what? Boss Romney was merely pointing out how intrinsically shiftless it is of them segregated colored folk to allow ruthless hegemony and endless oppression and forced ghettoization by a well-armed, ever-vigilant police state of immensely greater resources and "a few other things" to keep themselves down. But, you know, well, you know how they are.

Don't you understand? Being poor, oppressed, trapped in hopeless circumstances -- why, they're all down to moral failings; one made of sterner stuff would be favored by God and raised accordingly high.

Or so we're told by those on high. I guess the view is so much clearer up there.

How much do we send Israel every year? I get tired of hearing about their thriving economy, when I'm helping to pay for it.

Go ahead and mock Governor Romney all you want, but he's got my vote for prime minister of Israel.

The "few other things" include that Jews Are Good With Money.
