Rush Limbaugh To Touré: ‘For 23 Years I’ve Been Told I’m A Racist. I’m Not And You Are’

audio
» 427 comments

In case you haven’t noticed, in the past couple days, all of the country’s media figures have been engaged in a rousing match of their favorite board game: Race Card™! It’s the wacky game where conservatives and liberals lay their cards on the table and try to prove who has the most black friends.

This most recent round began after Politico broke the Herman Cain sexual harassment story and conservative firebrands like Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh rushed to blame the whole thing on an evil, racist liberal plot. Yesterday on The Last Word, Touré attacked Limbaugh (among other conservatives) for not understanding the difference between racial politics and accusations of racism. Touré seemed to suggest that Limbaugh was guilty of making and poorly thought out allegations of racism, which “muddled” the real discussion of how race is a suddenly important topic in this year’s presidential politics.

Today on his radio show, Limbaugh hit back, arguing again that, no, you guys are the racists! Gosh this is a fun game!

After playing the Last Word clip, Limbaugh asked his listeners if they had any idea what Touré was saying. He then helpfully explained what he thought the commentator was trying to say.

“What he was trying to say is, ‘They are stealing our technique. They’re stealing our technique, and they’re muddying the waters by using our technique. We’re the ones who have exclusive right to the race card! We are the ones who get to decide who’s racist and who isn’t, and when guys like Limbaugh come along and call us racists, why, that just muddies the water and makes everybody want to forget all this and leave. We own it! We own who’s a racist and who isn’t. Limbaugh can’t do that. Limbaugh and these others come along and say we’re being racist? We own that ploy!’”

I wouldn’t want to speak for Touré, but something tells me that he’d disagree that that was his message.

RELATED: MSNBC’s Chuck Todd Calls Upon Mainstream Media To ‘Just Stop Playing The Race Card’

Limbaugh continued by claiming that Democrats were also angry that, after all these years, he was still around fighting the good fight:

“I’m very uncomfortable answering this but they’re still ticked off that I’m a factor. What they’re really mad at here is that somebody or a group of people on our side in the media could maybe save whoever it is they go out to destroy.

For 23 years we’ve been hearing it. Maybe not from you, [ Touré], but people all over your side of the aisle. For twenty-three years I’m a ‘racist;’ and I’m not, never have been. You guys are. We say it. You don’t like it. Yeah. Exactly.”

Isn’t Race Card™ such an awesome game? It’s like tennis. Back and forth, back and forth, I’m a racist, you’re a racist. Forget baseball. This is the great American past time.

    FINALLY!

    They’ve been playing the RACIST SMEAR for 50 years!

    Rush, why did you leave ESPN?

    Rush, Why did you claim that race was involved in Hermain Cain’s sexual harassment saga?

    Rush, why did you tell a black caller to take the bone out her nose?

    Rush is the racist!

    If one listens to Toure enough the only rational conclusion can be that he IS a racist.

    Rush was , is and always will be a rascist. The part of Missouri he is from makes some parts of the deep south look like they do love all the little chidren of the world, red and yellow, black and white. Maybe, but the adults not so much.

    Most of these liberals(like me) have never called anyone racist. Is it fair that I can’t criticize republicans now because idiots like you call me racist?

    It’s sad that you somehow think you’re justified to start calling everyone racist just because they disagree with you. I though you were better than this. I guess I was wrong.

    MSNBC , the most rabidly liberal network of all time , gives a TV show to a violent rabble rousing racist with blood on his hands .

    Not Ed Schultz by the way , it’s Al Sharpton .

    Rush is not a drug addict , a pedophile , a racist or any of the other garbage you drooling, mouth breathing piles of crap throw at him .

    If he was ,why are you listening ?

    The man is a brilliant thinker , 12 jumps ahead of most people .

    Lol do you really think saying that means anything? the GOP is seriously done this election, and the party is spiraling out if control. I think we are watching the historic death of the GOP theology, in fact the real GOP theology is already gone, replaced by tea-bagger theology that requires them to call everyone racist when their argument or candidate sucks.

    look dude, you are in total denial. Democrats, and liberals in particular, are still trying to enslave blacks.
    Martin Luther King was a Republican. Herman Cain is just about young enough to have been his son. My point; MLK had a dream of his children acheiving success with no regard to skin color. That is Herman Cain’s story. He has in the past, and continues to enjoy great success in America. Were Dr. King alive today (unfortunately,murdered by a democrat) he would be proud of Mr. Cain, and ashamed of people like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton,etc…Go study the history of the democrat party. Suggested reading; “Whites, Blacks & Racist Democrats” by Wayne Perryman. Man up, and get ready to choke on the truth.

Try to push past it.

  • Concerned Citizen

     Rush and Coulter are playing games with you libs by using the libs race card strategy anytime a legitimate case is brought against your black candidate. This is totally screwing up the libs with the Republicans having a  front running black man, now conservatives can now call the media racists each time they attack Cain. This is just like the “new tone” that libs said we had to have and then libs go off the rails calling all Tea Party members “teabaggers, racists”, saying horrible things about raping and killing Sarah Palin etc. etc. etc. Libs = hypocrites. Other lib hypocrite examples – libs embracing attacking Libya (no 9/11 connection, no threat to US, no congressional ok) yet demonized Iraq war. Against capital punishment but for killing of babies in womb.  Cheer for assassination of Bin Laden and Al-wiki yet cry crocodile tears cause we poured water over the face of the terrorists responsible for 9/11. Want rights for terrorists in Gimo yet say nothing when a US citizen and his son and blown up on foreign soil without a trial.

    Black people are laughing at republicans and democrats right now. They are clearly using us like trading cards right now. “Our black is better than yours.” or “No your party is more racist than ours”. This is so laughable. We have a black president in the white house, and a black GOP frontrunner, and the two parties have turned this into a tug of war for black votes. What better way to divide our country more than to base everything on race. I love it that conservatives are using the race card now. I guess they realize its just as convenient as when liberals use it. Too bad the only people that lose in this argument are black people.We are steady being put in a box instead of being people who have our own diverse beliefs and different views.

    No you idiot.  Norbit knows damn well what he said and knew damn well the reaction he’d get from you morons whose sensitivities are such that you’d be frothing at the mouth in record time.  There’s absolutely nothing wrong or racist with the phrase, “Welfare Plantation Democrats”.  It describes perfectly, the mentality that white, liberal democrats want to instill in black America, along with the little reminder that it was Democrats who looked after you, nurtured you, and made sure you damned well voted Democrat for the last fourty years.

    Rush, the reason you get called a racist is because you are a racist:
    Some of Rush’s tolerance:

    “The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies.”–Rush Limbaugh”Right.
    So you go into Darfur and you go into South Africa, you get rid of the
    white government there. You put sanctions on them. You stand behind
    Nelson Mandela — who was bankrolled by communists for a time, had the
    support of certain communist leaders. You go to Ethiopia. You do the
    same thing.”
    –Rush Limbaugh

    “”Look,
    let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game
    between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it.”–Rush Limbaugh”They’re 12 percent of the population. Who the hell cares?”
    –Rush Limbaugh, on African Americans

    “Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?”
    –Rush Limbaugh

    “Take that bone out of your nose and call me back.”
    Rush Limbaugh, to African American caller

    —When Carol Moseley-Braun (D-IL) was in the U.S. Senate, the first black
    woman ever elected to that body, Limbaugh would play the “Movin’ On Up”
    theme song from TV’s Jeffersons
    when he mentioned her. Limbaugh sometimes still uses mock dialect –
    substituting “ax” for “ask”– when discussing black leaders.

    Lee – it wasn’t racist.  For God’s sake, you liberals need to understand the very word you are abusing.  What Limbaugh said regarding McNabb may have been racially insensitive, but it was a far cry from racist.  He also made a point that many reactionary liberals failed to understand.  The same thing happened with Michael Vick when he joined the Eagles last year.  The convicted felon and animal abuser became the media darling when he began to perform so well.  If Vick had been white, do you folks honestly believe he would have received the same treatment?

    I think not – convince me otherwise.

    Liberals believe that blacks and other minorities should be kept in subordinate positions unless they are Democrats and get government assistance. If they are in prestigious positions but aren’t flaming liberals and aren’t whining about being victims and worked their way into success by themselves, they must be tokens or suffering from “Stockholm syndrome.” The ugly, ignorant racism of liberals is rampant.

    Rush sounds so indignant in this bite.

    He wonders why anyone would call him a racist after calling the President a man-child, a magic negro, stupid, jackass all because of political differences.  Oh and don’t forget the President is also INTENTIONALLY trying to destroy the country.  He is trying to fundamentally change the country from what the founding fathers intended. And the list goes on and on… but for some strange reason he doesn’t know why he is called a racist.

    What does race have to do with Cain committing sexual assault? This is just an attempt by conservatives to draw attention away from the real issue here.
    You know, I notice that when Democrats get into sex scandals, it is generally for consensual stuff, whereas Republicans (Foley, Cain, Schwarzenegger, etc.) tend to be called out for nonconsensual stuff. Coincidence? I think not.

    See this is part of the problem, we haven’t been told anything.  Do you have some additional info?  If he truly did something, then I’ll be the first to jump on him, but I’m not going to join in this “lynching” with absolutely NO info.  If this is really a case of him remarking on a woman’s height and her freaking out, there is NO story and Politico will be embarrassed further.  The problem with you libs and your minions in the media, is you think you can throw out charges with nothing to back them up and then hope your smear stick even if it turns out to be nothing.  You know that at that point the damage is done, whether he did something or not.  The fact that that doesn’t bother you says a lot.

    An example of this is last week in Oakland.  It’s coming out that it wasn’t the Police, but fellow protesters that probably hurt the Marine and yet have you heard any follow up on that?  No, you still think it was the police.  It’s shameful. I’m glad people are finally starting to fight back against it.

    Please don’t mischaracterize my comments based on your singular position.  I’ve never accused you of being on welfare, of committing so much as a traffic infraction, or being anything other than an honest, law abiding citizen.  The point being made by Norbit and backed by me is there are many within the progressive camp who truly feel that blacks and other minorities ‘owe them’ for fourty years of entitlement spending that they may never have had if a Republican was in office during the ‘New Deal’ era.  I know it’s a hard point to concede, but it’s the mentality, not so much of black Americans, but of white liberals, who truly feel minorities must maintain a lifelong loyalty to the Democrat Party when they’ve truly not received anything in return.

    It was Rush’s contention that the liberal media, in their quest to see a black quarterback succeed, make him out to be better than he was at the time.  And btw, a lot of people agreed with him.  But if you are a  Conservative, it’s illegal to offend liberals, I guess.  The bottom line, is liberals are always looking to be offended, and therefore are always offended by everything.

    Actually I believe what he said was somewhat racist.. Convincing you may be hard though.. These are the facts.. . McNabb is 6 time pro bowler , 1 Super Bowl appearance, 5 NFC Championship game appearances(3 of which were consecutive)  and holds every major Qb record in Eagles history. A first ballot hall of famer without question..  The media does not need to “prop up” anyone white or black with those credentials..  What I believe Rush was essentially saying was that McNabb was not qualified(my words) and that the media was only “propping him up”( his words) because of his race..His point made no since because there was is nothing factual truth to back up as I’ve already shown above..

    Very true, Gloves. Limbaugh was, at one time, addicted to prescription Oxy, but got himself cleaned up. He’s been clean for years now and he’s been very upfront about it. MSNBC’s Chris Matthews is a misogynist and an alcoholic (i.e., “recovering”), and based on his weird fabrications and distortions of truth and history, makes you wonder how many highballs he may have slammed back before doing his show. Al Sharpton has been a vicious race-baiter for decades. If he doesn’t shake things up and everyone did indeed get along racially, he’d be out of his life-long work. Until Sharpton’s recent hiring (Resist We Much) at MSNBC in July, that ultra-liberal network was lily-white for years. Sharpton is a media hog who immediately jumped on Tawana Brawley’s bogus rape-charge bandwagon – Rev. Al slandered the county prosecutor of racism. When it was discovered that Tawana lied, and Rev. Al was found guilty of slander, he refused to pay his share of the massive lawsuit damages; it was paid for by black business leaders. Jump ahead some years, and Rev. Al marched in Phoenix in support of illegal immigration but ignored the severe beating that Kenneth Gladney, a black conservative, received from liberals outside a tea party event in St. Louis County. Other black leaders and black organizations ignored Gadney as well because he wasn’t a liberal Democrat. The NAACP even stated that Gladney wasn’t “black enough.” Which is what many liberals are now saying about Herman Cain and have said about many other conservative blacks.

    Thanks for your response.  Keep in mind, the stats you are using are current and do not reflect Donovan’s performance up to 2003, the year Limbaugh made these comments.  Has McNabb’s performance since this time proven Limbaugh wrong?  You bet, but my original point remains.  I too think there was additional attention from the media towards McNabb who up until 2003 WAS really nothing more than a journeyman quarterback who showed flashes of promise.  I was not particularly happy with Limbaugh’s comments because they basically ignored….no, disregarded the performance of one of Philly’s greatest quarterbacks, Randall Cunningham who was so damned much fun to watch, especially againsts the Cowboys!

    OK Moosenuts – Since your mentality does not allow you to comprehend what should easily be understood, allow me to give you an example:

    If I were to commend the academic performance of Asian students at Stanford University by saying, “yeah, them Asian kids are really smarter than everyone else”

    Now, clearly in my attempt to offer high performing Asian students a compliment by acknowledging how smart they were, would this comment be truly considered ‘racist’ or perhaps insensitive as I was using the long held stereotype that suggests that Asian students academic achievement is superior to that of whites or other minorities?

    To play the race or gender card is to invent racism or sexism where there isn’t any. The left does it all the time. Somebody opposes Obama? Racist! Somebody opposes abortion? Sexist! Somebody opposes gay marriage? Homophobe!

    On the other hand, to cover up ACTUAL racism or sexism with the allegation that the other side is “playing the race card” is complete BS. When Bill Maher calls Sarah Palin a “dumb twat”, that’s sexist. When Ed Schulz calls Laura Ingraham a “slut”, that’s sexist. And when an entire political party attacks a particular candidate not because he shares the same ideas as the rest of the candidates, but because people with his skin color aren’t supposed to harbor those ideas, that’s f***ing racist–and to say so is in no way “playing the race card”.

To infer and associate MLK with the present rancid Republican is a conniving co-option of his enduring legacy…and sophistry of the worst kind.

    How many times do I have to slap you libs down before you learn?  Ok, here’s just example from the LIBERAL Slate:

    Rush Limbaugh Was Right

    In his notorious ESPN comments last Sunday night, Rush Limbaugh said
    he never thought the Philadelphia Eagles’ Donovan McNabb was “that good
    of a quarterback.”

    If Limbaugh were a more astute analyst, he would have been even
    harsher and said, “Donovan McNabb is barely a mediocre quarterback.” But
    other than that, Limbaugh pretty much spoke the truth. Limbaugh lost
    his job for saying in public what many football fans and analysts have
    been saying privately for the past couple of seasons.

     I see your point that McNabb was mid career when Limbaugh Said it in 2003 ..If I may McNabb was a pro Bowler in 2000,2001,2002,2003 he eventually got 2 more pro bowls and won NFC player of the year in 2004.. My bigger point is McNabb was already a 4 time pro bowler when Rush said it …That’s no journeyman.  And the issue of the media wanted black qbs to succeed as Rush asserted about McNabb .. McNair for the Titans , Culpepper for the Vikes, Aaron Brooks for the Saint, Leftwich for The Jags, Vick for the Falcons were all starters in 2003 and doing damn well.. Tony Banks also started a few games for the Rams that year also unfortunately who are my team.

    So… Rush Limbagh calling President Obama, “Barack the Magic Negro” is not racist?

    Do all of you people pay exactly zero attention and just repeat whatever talking point you’ve been issued? Limbaugh did not call Obama “Barack the Magic Negro.” He played a parody song by Paul Shanklin that found Al Sharpton calling Obama “Barack the Magic Negro” based on (and explicitly referencing) an article by David Eherenstein as well as Sharpton’s statement that Obama isn’t “Black like me.”

    I don’t even listen to Limbaugh, and I know all of this. And you are somehow sure you heard something that was never said.

    Is it racist to point those things out? Hell no.

    friendship, allegiance, and support of the Negro, the white liberal is
    able to use the Negro as a pawn or tool in this political “football

    You might think a game is being played where two sides claim “who has more black friends,” but it’s really not.  That’s a game of popularity, based on a logical fallacy, whereas the “game” is rather who is more correct.  Especially in regards to the latest flap with Cain, wherein charges of sexual misconduct were clumsily dumped on a leading candidate for purposes of political sabotage, it’s the right.  Have you stopped beating your wife narratives don’t often find their way in upper echelons of national discourse, but certain elements of the left feel perfectly free to raise such a specter when the target is Herman Cain.

    Further, Toure may disagree with Rush’s break-down, but it’s perfectly fitting.  I’ve seen a bit of Toure, and listened to a good deal more of Rush Limbaugh.  Rush likes to poke, sometimes not shying away from using racial overtones, to sublimely draw out the left’s double standard on issues of race.  He’s not apologetic (as the left suggests he should be) for talking on matters strictly considered by the left to be properly within their purview.  He’s a very effective troll is pointing out the absurdity of such claims.

    Toure, for making cases that as above need to be demonstrated as being absurd, and in other positions which has been brought fuller attention, strikes me as nothing less than a full-blown racist.  Albeit a brown one, something a good many leftists will never admit is possible.

    ceeza – What I think needs to be understood is what was it about McNabb that narrowed Limbaugh’s thinking when he criticized NOT McNabb specifically, but the media’s attention to him.  The worst thing Limbaugh said about McNabb personally was that he was ‘over-rated’ and not deserving of the heaps of praise that were being rained down on him by a media more interested in social experimentation than the game of football. 

    You describe a number of very talented black quarterbacks that were playing during this period, yet no critical commentary of their skills was ever offered by Limbaugh.  Trying to bring 2003 back into perspective – I’m still caught short trying to remember the media atmosphere that brought so much attention to McNabb; at least in Limbaugh’s opinion.

    Keep in mind, the night Limbaugh made these comments, even Michael Irvin (twice) said he had a point.  Of course, that isn’t saying much as he was a member of the hated Dallas Cowboys and any slam against McNabb would have been met with earger applause.

    Thats not what Norbit was saying at all. No one thinks you are a slave, stupid, or poor.

    The whole concept of a plantation is that the laborer works for the owner, and in return the owner sustains the laborer’s livelihood.
    Democrats create the misconception that the GOP is racist and overly spend billions of dollars on entitlement social programs. This has naturally caused 95% of blacks (many who live in large, poor cities more accessible to social programs) to vote Democrat.
    The only problem is that Democratic controlled cities / social legislation have NOT helped the problems in the black communities like unemployment. 
    Yet Democrats keep promising more help and keep calling the GOP racist so that blacks will vote for them. The Democratic politicians don’t work for the black community, they just say what they have to because they depend on the vote for re-election.

    There are no black words. That is stupid racist talk. An AL black guy will talk almost exactly like an AL white man. There is difference in enunciation and syntax due to dialects found in different regions. Maybe you should pay attention RyGuy2012-The Clown

    Get off of Norbit’s nuts and let him respond to his own comments you servile asshat. If you don’t want anyone to tie your demagogic language to slavery or white supremacy talking points — perhaps you should refrain from using that imagery. It’s not brain surgery. The guy is using that language for a specific reason; To infer blacks are stupid and can not think for themselves ie. know what’s in their best interest.

    This is hysterical!!! The left has ‘muddled race’  for 45 years. ‘Racism’ has been expanded beyond sanity and includes now, ‘looking cross-eyed at someone. The sad thing is that it has diluted the impact of real racism. When leftists today, with eyes bulging, neck veins bulging and spittle flying in all directions scream ‘racism’ they’re initially dismissed because it’s become so tiring listening to them try to apply it to every thing that happens.

    The entire argument that blacks are “brainwashed” or “on a plantation” comes from a new spin on very old ideas about the racial inferiority of blacks. Conservatives state that Democrats keep our votes by enabling our “natural” childlike, dependent  tendencies. They are basically saying that blacks vote for Democrats because they encourage our laziness and immorality. They feel the Democrats sponsor programs that give handouts to a group of people who are less intelligent and competent than good, hardworking (white) Americans  and because of out innate deficits we are incapable of discerning how we should really vote for to help us to evolve into “real Americans”. They support the notion that blacks have made no progress towards the acquiring the characteristics that are natural to whites, except for a people like Cain, West, Keyes who are able to articulate how inferior blacks really are.

Maybe if you listened to him you’d see who is ignorant and who isn’t. As for Ann Coulter, she travels with bodyguards thanks to peace-loving liberals like do, so you go ahead and do the shoe thing, I’d love to see her bodyguards give you some of their sensitivity training.

    ” Limbaugh continued to refer to Obama as the “Magic Negro” throughout the broadcast — 27 times, to be exact — and at one point sang “Barack, the Magic Negro” to the tune of “Puff, the Magic Dragon.” Limbaugh defended his use of the song, stating, “Well, that’s what we always do here. We do parodies and satires on the idiocy and phoniness of the left.”

    As I’ve previously stated, this thread in particular has to do with Rush Limbaugh’s black friends (or lack thereof). I merely pointed out that the producer of the Rush Limbaugh Show is a black man. For the simple fact of presumably not being a Democrat, something he has in common with millions of people, even other black people, Snerdly has now been explicitly compared to a servant and a slave by the liberals on this thread. For people who seem hell-bent on carving out moral superiority vis a vis race, you lefties are awful quick to compare any black man who doesn’t agree with you to slaves and other offensive, demeaning stereotypes. More or less exposes your ideas of tolerance as conveniences of ideology, dropped at the first sign anyone dares to intellectually deviate from your preconceived notions of how a man, based solely on his skin color, is supposed to think.

It was when Rush made a song about it is when everyone on the left cried racism and called him a racist for saying it! They didn’t hesitate for a second to call him a racist, when in fact, it was one their own left wing liberal democrat reporters, that originally made that statement! All Rush did was make the left winged liberal democrat media come out and called themselves RACISTS!! Y’all tell on yourselves every time!! Do you get it now?

    Amusing, your sarcasm is truth and you don’t even realize it.  True Conservatism is more on your side than the identity and victim politics the Democrats have been laying on you since the “Great Society” programs took the once proud black family whose communities were already making great strides in achieving equality and were already the equal or better of many other communities in literacy and legitimacy and turned them into three generations of fractured fatherless wards of the state, sociopathically conditioned to reject any notion of hard work and family as “white”. Black people have been infantilized by the precious “compassion” of the white liberals. You are a perfect example of one who is on the liberal plantation because you think you cannot succeed without kindly Uncle Democrat holding your hand and you try to pull down people like Herman Cain who are trying to show you the way. Your leader are the corrupt poverty pimps like Sharpton and Jackson and Cornell West who do more to hold blacks down than Bull Connor ever did. Your knee jerk reaction to criticism of the worst President in decades as racist simply bears it out.

    You have missed the boat Friday.  The contention by conservatives is that self esteem killing “compassion” by Democrats is something that has proven all across time, history and all cultures, to be a recipe for disaster for whoever is subjected to it. To that end most conservatives believe that most of the social safety net should be removed so blacks will demonstrate that they are exactly as capable of any person in the world to succeed and prosper.  It is our heartfelt feeling that blacks are equals that drive us to militate against wrong headed programs emanating from a place of guilt which have never worked…for ANYONE.  The idea of “the plantation” is that it is self serving white liberals who don’t believe in the capabilities of black Americans and wish to keep you in a place of dependency and hopelessness to steal your political and social power.  And for that reason when a black American leaves that plantation like a Herman Cain or Colin Powell or Thomas Sowell or Condi Riced (to continue the metaphor) the white master send out his dogs to drag them back.

    Unfortunately the idea has taken hold (with you as well apparently) that the removal of whats holding you down is the act of racism. It is the exact opposite of that.  Blacks in America have bought uncle Crackers story that they cannot succeed without his kindly and benevolent help.  And also unfortunately Democrats  have succeeded tremendously since the programs of the Great Society began in the 60′s to create multiple generations of inner city blacks who have never known a life that didn’t included a monthly handout and have come to view it as an inalienable right that only a racist would want to halt.

  • M Colins

    Perhaps you can pull out a history book and learn that the Republican Party was founded principally on a foundation of abolitionism and it was in fact a Republican who freed the slaves and that it was only through the efforts of the GOP that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 got passed.  Then you can read on further about since 1964 it has been the Democrats who have attempted to infantilize black Americans as incapable of functioning in society with the fallacious idea that somehow providing more and more for people will motivate them to refuse this handouts.
