The quote is "I don't want to make BLACK people's lives better by giving them somebody else's money.
The question was about foreign policy, the comment was about welfare and medicaid, and his answer was about BLACK people. He felt no need to object to making poor white people's lives better by giving them money for things like food and medical care, no, he objects to giving that money to black people. Watch the clip. Then watch it again, because you might have missed the word "black" thrown in there. Then watch it one more time so you know you weren't seeing things.
And remember, this guy tied for first in the Iowa caucuses.
Also relevant, the breakdown of Iowan food stamp recipients, by race (From CBS)
9% Black
84% White
