about 20 years ago, I worked in a factory in Chicago which employed a lot of blacks.
one day at break, a bunch of girls were excitedly congratulating one of the girls for getting pregnant.
knowing that she was single and living with her mother, I wondered aloud how she could be so happy about it ( I am MEAN)
the mom to be said :” 500 bucks a month” as she high fived
her friend
That “500 bucks a month, high-five” mentality has long since spread to poor white communities. I grew up in a small town in Michigan, and I remember in 1982 knowing a 15 year old girl who told her friends that her life plan was, at 17, to have a baby and go on ADC (Aid to Dependent Children.) Tammy was her name. And at 17, she did exactly that. And was pleased with herself.
Is that $500 per month per child? My God! That would mean that this sleezeball would be getting $5,000 a month from taxpayers to support her chillens. That can’t possibly be correct. She would be driving a Lincoln if so. I wonder how much she does actually get though. Meanwhile, those of us that ARE personally responsible are working our @sses off 9-10 hours every day to support her and people “like” her.
That sucks.
