You've got to be kidding

I see that President Douchebag and some congressman out of California say that social security should be changed because black men don't live as long as white men and therefore they aren't able to enjoy their benefits. That has got to be the most ridiculous assertion ever made. First of all black men don't live as long because black babies die at a rate twice as high as white babies and the odds of a young black male and dying violently are much higher than for young white males. The problem ain't social security. African Americans also don't have access to the same quality of health care as whites. Do you think that might be part of it, you sorry excuse for a president? Jesus, the lies this fuck tells are infuriating. George Bush: friend of the black man. What a joke.

Facts

White infant mortality rates in 2001: 5.7 per 1000
Black infant mortality rates in 2001: 14.0 per 1000
(Source: US Center for Health Statistics)

In 2002 the percentage of whites of total people murdered in US: 48
In 2002 the percentage of blacks of total people murdered in US: 48
(Source: FBI)

In 2002 the percentage of blacks of total US population: %12.7

So, you can see how changing social security is going to be a big help.
