Why are men getting a pass? Why aren't there Welfare kings? Or Gay Welfare Princesses on Disabilities?

It's a sterotype. White trash encompasses all poor white/redneck types while welfare queen is designated specifically for black women on public assistance. It's a way to specifically characterize blacks needing assistance as proud to be using gov assistance. It's a very subtle way to say blacks are lazy and proud of it.

Now, on this board, the only racism is reverse racism..Of course, in the real world that's nonsense.

There's no such thing as reverse racism, racism is racism period. Reverse racism is a term used by black people who insinuate that the only true form of racism is against blacks by whites which is simply untrue.

WTF?? Blacks use reverse racism? What the hell are you talking about? Reverse racism was a term created by white men once the playing field was leveled and they no longer had the immediate advantage while job seeking. To those who use the term, equality, is considered reverse racism.

I have no idea where you came up with that foolishness.

I said it was a term used by blacks and I also said it wasn't real therefore simple logic would dictate that I never said blacks used "reverse racism" because according to my previous statement it would be impossible. Still with me? There is and never has been reverse racism.

Sorry, but the truth is the truth. You may use the term today but those who are honest know how it orginated.

I have no idea what you're talking about. Reverse racism IS NOT a term used by blacks. It's a nonsense term created by angry white men. That's it.

I dont know how it originated...dont care either

if you take welfare for extended time frames (not as it was intended as a 'helping hand up") like for generations then you are a "weflare queen/babie/leach"

my ex's mother has been getting welfare for many, many years...my ex was born into welfare along with her older sister..and both(all three) are STILL on welfare(my ex was only off welfare while she was with me

so dont tell me about being honest

I dont care about color,,sorry you do
