Is welfare a sign of the governments racism?

Question

unless your disabled someway, you really dont need it. the government tries hard to have low unemployment but welfare in some cases... lets people "live off the government" and be unemployed. Is this a way of the government of keeping certain races or nationalities from getting good paying jobs?

Answer 1

Actually some people really do need welfare. They can't get jobs or are in between jobs and they have children to support.
Or they have a job and they use that money to pay bills and food but they use welfare money to pay for child care so they can keep their job. It is even beneficial for druggies. They spend all their money on drugs but at least they get food stamps to feed their kids. If it hadn't been for welfare me and my siblings would have starved. And my mom eventually ended up applying for SSI and she got accepted, meaning she could not have got a job.

You are also running off a stereotype. Most people who get on welfare get off it, they don't stay on forever and not get jobs. You can look up welfare statistics and you will see this is true.

Having said that. The government does keep people down. They don't really work to fight poverty. And the welfare system is set up in a way that keeps people down. Take the woman who uses her job to pay bills and food but uses welfare for child care. If she quits welfare, she can't afford childcare, and loses her job putting her in the position to need welfare again. It's a horrible cycle but it's not her fault. Minimum wages should be increased across the nation and everyone should have equal access to education so they can get jobs that'll pay for all their bills.

Answer 2

i dont see it as racist because lots of different races are on welfare. the problem with welfare is.......the poor that need the welfare system or are on welfare are caught in the welfare trap. its like a big spider web. a person may go on welfare to help their family. maybe they have a job and receive welfare. what happens next is.......if they make too much money, they lose their benefits (medicaid, food stamps, etc.) but a lot of the times, welfare doesnt pay enough to cover all the bills so youre stuck being poor. do you see what im saying? maybe im explaining it badly. welfare isnt enough to help most families that receive it but if they work and make too much money (whatever their welfare limit is for their household) they lose what welfare they get. its a trap to keep the poor, poor! there........how was that? better?

Answer 3

Welfare was started after the depression as a way to help Whites Americans who had fallen on hard times, mostly from the fact that the depression had caused a lot of businesses to go under thereby costing many jobs. When you add this to the "dust bowl" effect, you ended up with people in many parts of America unable to live. As the civil rights took effect in the 60's and 70's the government HAD to include the blacks in the welfare system. And since the blacks were termed a "minority" that automatically put them at the front of the line for White taxpayer based government money. Since the majority of blacks felt the Whites owed them something they realized that welfare was a way to take money from the Whites..When welfare began to take into account the children of the welfare recipient that didn't have a father to help support the children, the black women on welfare began to breed at an alarming rate. And since about 79% of ALL black children are born to UNWED mothers this increased the dollar amount of the welfare check; meaning, the more kids the woman had, the more welfare money she got. This then lead the Government to be lead to believe that if Uncle Sam could provide money and food stamps and subsidized housing maybe this would help the mother long enough to get the kids in school and go find a job. BUT there was no limitation placed on the time that they could "live off the government" SO they continued to breed, many having 8 or 9 kids most by different fathers, kinda like dogs or cats. This set examples for their daughters that if they had kids out of wedlock the government would pay them! And until just a few years ago when the welfare recipient filed taxes they got money back for EACH kid (dependent). It has now been limited to just 2 children on the earned income credit. So what started out as a way to help someone until that person or family got back on their feet has turned into a lifetime "job" for the black welfare family. The government was to scared to limit and control the problem knowing that it would be accused of racial discrimination if it tried to stop the out of control monster it had created. When I go to walmart I see black people, espescially young girls with babies, sometimes 2 or 3 by the time they are 18, buying a shopping cart full of food and paying for it with a food stamp card. In the state of Georgia when the cards first came out to replace the paper food stamps that the blacks were using to trade for drugs, the cards had the American flag on them. You could tell just by a galnce if someone was using a food stamp card. Now the Georgia food stap card has two big peaches on it looking almost like a mastercard, so people who can't afford to buy T-bone steaks because they are paying with their hard earned cash won't be able to instatnly see it is a food stamp card. Then after these people go get in their vehicle it will usually be a cadillac or and escalde with $2000 worth of tires and rims on it. Then they will drive to their government paid apartment. The next morning they will be at work with me making they same pay as I do and yet because I am White I can't get the same treatment from the government so I have to pay my taxes to help support their ability to live free, eat free and get free money all while making the same pay I do. And since the government is afraid to piss off the mexican voters too they give the same thing to the mexicans. So welfare is a way for the government to keep the black voter voting for them. Why the hell would anyone who is making the same pay as me give up all the free money the government is giving them ? Hell if you add what they make at work and then add to it what the government gives them, for the average worker that means the annual salary for a White working family will be about $50,000( husband and wife). The blacks who ARE married get the same $50,000 PLUS about $20,000 more from Uncle Sam. For the ones who are unmarried the amount is even higher, especially when all the kids are on medicaid and this group gets a welfare check too, in addition to the food stamps and government housing that most all black married families get. So if it IS racism I want to be part of it!

Answer 4

Well first of all, let's just get one thing straight. In the states, most of the people on welfare are white, so how could it be governmental racism? Check out statistics for your own edification. Your ignorance is showing.

Answer 5

Your premise is flawed; people don't have to be disabled to need government assistance. The majority of assistance goes to children.

Answer 6

welfare was never created just for the disabled. reread history. it has always been for the poor (after the depression).

Answer 7

No, because there are many people of many different races who are on welfare.

Answer 8

most of the people on welfare are white. so i highly doubt it.

Answer 9

No, It's the way the Liberal Socialist pigs keep their power base!!!
