    I’m convinced that FOX News has been telling people that the word Racist means Vegan or Gay or something.

    “That lazy welfare mooch should have been black.”

    “Woah, are you racist or something?”

    “Hell no, I ain’t no pansy-ass racist! I just hate people because of the color of their skin!”

    This can’t be correct. My co-worker tells me that the GOP isn’t racist. In fact she has many republican friends who also claim to have at least 1 black friend. Nope I just can’t buy this story.

      They might all be the same black friend. Clarence Thomas has a lot of white friends.

    Growing up in the seventies and eighties, all my female cousins were pregnant, unmarried and on welfare. They were all white.

      Which sounds absolutely amazing if they were all happy to be there.

      But that’s only assuming they were in stable relationships, sucks to be a lonely mother.

      Don’t worry, it’s now a public-private partnership thanks to the ballroom so it’s GOP approved.

    The irony about these people is that so many of them have “We the people…” stickers on their trucks, but didn’t seem to know the rest of that sentence and that it states “promote the general Welfare.”

    Are there any statistics available to see recipients of welfare and how they split across parts of the population?

    I bet the majority of wellfare recipients are white and conservative.

    If the white person had had piercings or tattoos or purple hair, it wouldn’t have been a problem.

Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you’re only using an excerpt from an article that’s otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.)
