....that there's a form of welfare that's only for black people that allows them to not work.

Try to tell them it's not true and they will get ANGRY with you.

The really funny thing is if we gave these poor white people the option of not working they would take it in an instant.

Oh,...and a thing to ponder.

The 13th Amendment:

Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.


People have been debating the notion of "involuntary servitude" including the classic 9 to 5 since before FDR. By rights, as a citizen you should have the right to basic needs even if you aren't working for someone else.
