True but I don't see the trailer trash getting freebies. In the city HUD builds 10 story apartments fo free and then ten years later they tear down the buildings and build new buildings.

Because you don't know what you're looking at and, as you know, are intentionally going based on stereotypes rather than the reality.

Poor whites comprise most of the AFDC and other safety net and welfare benefits. As for neighborhoods, these benefits tend to take a different form in white neighborhoods than they do in Black or Hispanic neighborhoods. HUD homes are also in the white neighborhoods but "high rise" projects are found in more Black and Hispanic neighborhoods. Obama's initiatives would most likely be applied to more Black neighborhoods than white neighborhoods to address the disproportionate poverty and poor living conditions.

Dude, are you fucking kidding me? Seriously? Those douche bags get freebies all the time. It's usually 10 people to a trailer and all of them are on welfare and/or they're either unemployed or working a shitty job, and they don't get freebies? Bullshit! You make good points that I agree with but you're targeting one group of people.

Not to make a million posts in a row, but I agree with this to an extent. I understand some people are less fortunate than others and sometimes their misfortunes aren't always their fault, but what makes me mad is when I'm standing in line at a grocery store and I see a family with a cart full of kids and another one in the oven, and then they pay with a welfare card. Sometimes they even ask for "cash back". I mean, if you can't afford the kids you already have, then don't have anymore. That means that I have to feed them. My God, that makes me SO mad.
