I know what you want to say, but "welfare queens" is really a bad way to phrase it. > The "welfare queen" stereotype is driven by the false and racist beliefs that places the blame of the circumstances of poor black single mothers as the result of their own individual issues, bringing forward racial tropes such as their promiscuity, lack of structure and morals, and avoidance of work.

You seem to be unaware that there is a large and ever-expanding segment of 'society', in the US and UK at least, composed of people of all races and even social status (ghetto trash up to 'middle class' and beyond), both men and women, whose seeming sole objective in life is to have as many kids as possible and sign up for as many government checks as they can, so that they can 'live' exclusively off the backs of working people in society while contributing absolutely nothing of value themselves--not even to the actual welfare of their own children, who in the majority of cases 'grow up' to become equally unproductive leeches themselves, having learned by example from their own riffraff 'parents.' In the UK, one such group are known as 'chavs.' It isn't a term of endearment. Given the ignorance evident in your post, I wouldn't be at all surprised to receive a heated reply from you, calling me names and attempting to argue this inarguable fact, which is clear and obviously factual to anyone who has spent any time at all living out here in the real world aka 'flyover country.' Have you ever even been to jail? Welfare queens come in all shapes, forms, and sizes these days. Some of the worst offenders are large corporations, though the largest by far are governments, of course. The world is full of leeches who want something for nothing. Like for example these wealthy entities who in some cases make billions of dollars off the backs of open source developers, while the devs themselves may be on the brink of starvation, eating out of dumpsters and living in their car.

And of course, the Wikipedia propaganda is considered absolute truth, while my factual real world experience is 'flagged' by some SJW virtue signalling city slicker, who is angry at anyone who speaks truth. You cannot argue with cold, hard truth obviously, or you would be doing so, instead of flipping your wig and downvoting/flagging my post. Here, let me tell you more about these people you obviously know nothing about. I've met, interacted with them, spent months in jail with them. I know exactly who they are and what they are about. They swap tips and stories and plots and schemes for signing up to as many welfare programs as possible. The more checks one has coming in, the higher one's social rank is within this system. EBT cards are used to buy certain items, like 24 packs of soft drinks being a major one, which are used as a sort of currency, exchanged at half price for hard cash, which is often taken straight to the drug dealer. Fact. There is a pride among the group based on how much they can rip off from society vs. how little actual productive work they do, ideally none. 'Hustles' are the primary form of work, usually involving drug dealing. Theft and robbery is another primary occupation of this crowd. They steal whatever isn't nailed down, and sell it on Craigslist. When confronted, they brag about it and show no shame or remorse whatsoever, like the one guy I went to school with for example whom I noticed doing this. They spend their lives in and out of jail--and they are proud of this. They love going to jail. That's where all their buddies are. The only thing they like better is going to prison, because it's a lot better than jail, with much more to do, more hustles to run, and more criminal minds to link up with. Fact. Having returned from jail/prison, they continue with the same life choices. Proudly. They do things like steal large air conditioner units from schools and churches, or catalytic converters from cars, or copper wiring and plumbing from houses, and melt them down for scrap. To buy meth and heroin. Fact. Every one of them thinks the world owes them something. The sense of entitlement is apparent in their every word and action. People with honor and dignity who prefer to do actual work are like an alien species to them, treated with scorn and contempt. I've personally been ripped off, robbed, and screwed over in countless ways by this crowd. Matter of fact, my shop was robbed just the other day. They took several metal items that I desperately needed, like two radiators, one of which is for my generator. I'm not rich. I'm living hand to mouth, literally eating out of dumpsters to survive. They don't care. The only thing they care about in the world is themselves. And is it any wonder they turmed out this way, when everybody in the entire country from President and Bankers and CEOs on down is exactly as selfish and uncaring? Who do you think molded them into such criminals? Please, downvote and flag me some more, so you can prove how selfish and disconected from reality you are also, presumably isolated in your big city enclave in some coastal city. Out here in flyover country we have no such luxury. This country is burning, and frankly, that's exactly what it deserves. Maybe when the destruction finally reaches your doorstep, you will finally get a clue.
