Maybe it's the heat or the sun, but I dissolved into uncontrollable giggling when I read this.

Isn’t it racist to say that the Lotto has to be stopped because blacks are too dumb to understand the odds?

[the invisib1e hand]

it’s a interesting argument.

[Berlin_Freeper]

How much education do you need?

[all the best]

If they had paid attention in school, they would have learned a little bit about odds and percentages and other useless stuff.

“It’s the poor people, the uneducated people who spend the most money on the Lottery and it’s not going for [them] the way they thought it was going to go,”

I'm poor and I'm not dumb enough to waste my money on tickets.

[liberalh8ter]

I did too. The NAACP agitators are too stupid to detect when they've insulted the people they purport to protect; including themselves. It's absolutely rich!

"it’s not going for [them] the way they thought it was going to go"

What was it they thought?

[OldNavyVet]

Might as well get it over with and declare God as a racist.

[Lazamataz]

Perhaps what they want is that everyone who enters, wins.

So Indian gambling casinos are...

[HerrBlucher]

The lottery isn’t racist but it does amount to a regressive tax. I voted against it and have never played it, and never will.

[treetopsandroofs]

Maybe the racists at the NAACP landed the casino (vs. lottery) lobby contract.

[ConorMacNessa]

Chief Justice Roberts has decided that the Lottery is valid inasmuch as it's nothing but a tax on the mathematically challenged.



Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[richmwill]

Couldn’t the same be said of the Nigerian money scams? That the most likely victims are the poor, uneducated people excitedly seeing it as their “big break”? What’s your response to that, NAACP?

[Stormdog]

Yeah, maybe we ought to just get rid of the State lotteries because they’re racist and all. Maybe we ought to go back to the daily undergound lottery, kept the bookies in business if nothing else. However the NAACP just may get a little upset when they remember what the “Pool” was called. But it wasn’t “racist”, because everybody played it.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Lotteries are for the mathematically-impaired.

NAACP Demands End to Lotto Because It's Racist

I DEMAND an end to the NAACP, because it is racist! I'm not colored and I take offense to being excluded!

[Tea Party Terrorist]

The State should not be involved in any lottery in any way whatsoever.

[RoosterRedux]

The problem here is not the fault of the lottery but the fault of those leaders in the Black community who have indoctrinated their followers to believe that there’s a way to get rich without having to work for it.
