“I hear you. Back in the day, I’ve bought hamburger helper hoping it’d last for two meals while the person of color with the EBT card bought steaks and charcoal...”
A few years ago, I noticed a Schwans delivery truck in our upscale neighborhood next to the upscale senior development. I thought, “Of course, it must be hard for seniors to shop.” Then I moved for my husband’s work to a very impoverished area and my neighbors got Schwans delivery while I was driving about 30 miles to the grocery store. My husband said, “Of course. They’re on welfare.” I looked at Schawns website. There was no way, even with my husband making decent money, that we could reasonably afford their food. Then it hit me. The deliveries near the senior development were most likely going to the condos that went Section 8.
I was feeling a bit guilty yesterday. My father, who lived through the depression, taught me to never turn a beggar down. A black man outside the grocery store asked for spare change. I said, “No.” When my husband was out of work, illegal aliens and blacks had no problems getting unemployment compensation. I saw upfront and personal how they treated him and denied compensation that his wages paid for. Working in the medical system, I’ve seen all the benefits they can get. They know and teach each other how to game the system. As whites, we aren’t taught that. They won’t get a dime from me except through a legitimate charity.
I know I’ve painted with a wide brush, and there are many Christian blacks and Latinos that I wouldn’t want to offend. I’ve worked with many wonderful black doctors and nurses, but have always felt white trash/black trash- trash is trash.
About a month ago, a young white kid approached me in the grocery store parking lot, asked if he could load my groceries for some change because he was hungry. My response was, “Please!” When the black man asked for change, I was thinking, “Maybe if you’d put this 40lb bag of dog food in my trunk. You want change for nothing when I’d give you a few bills to help a senior citizen load heavy groceries.” Our culture has created and nurtured the entitlement mentality. My analogy- cut up the credit cards, take the car keys and cell phone, kick them out of the house and make them get a job. That’s what a responsible parent would do.ve painted with a wide brush, and there are many Christian blacks and Latinos that I wouldn
For some reason, part of my post was lost so I’ll try again and sorry for the duplication:
