Newt Gingrich has been slammed for race baiting with his comments about blacks and welfare, and by calling Barack Obama the “food stamp president.” Now, a recently uncovered hand written speech draft suggests Gingrich’s unique take on race dates back to the 1990s.

The document, apparently written in 1993, is part of a cache of documents related to Gingrich’s 1997 ethics case before the House of Representatives (he was eventually forced out as speaker.) In it, Gingrich sketches out a speech he planned to deliver on what he calls the “five pillars of wealth,” which Gingrich surmised would “allow [Americans] to break out of the welfare state dilemma of more taxes or less government.”

According to Gingrich’s notes, not every American understands these pillars. From the Huffington Post:

“For poor minorities, entrepreneurship in small business is the key to future wealth,” wrote Gingrich. “This is understood thoroughly by most of the Asians, partially by Latinos, and to a tragically small degree by much of the American black community.”
