    Hahahaha so then don’t act like you don’t understand how it’s racist. The racism is what you like about it!

        Lol…absolutely amazing. “He didn’t literally say he hates Black people so how could it be racist?”

        Do you understand what a dogwhistle is? And I now see the Isle of Man flag so maybe you’re not American, and I don’t know how common this sort of thing is in other countries-but this is literally just Reagan era welfare queen rhetoric. It’s an extremely common stereotype that depicts Black women as lazy non-contributing members of society that rely on public welfare and the tax money of “real hardworking [white] Americans” to support themselves.

        Go anywhere in the USA in the past 40 years and bring up welfare and you will undoubtedly get people who buy into this stereotype. Hell there are people in this thread who still buy into this. And yeah of course they aren’t explicitly racist because that’s looked down upon these days, but that’s always the subtext, that was the subtext 40 years ago and that’s the subtext today: “Why should I, a white person, have any of my money go to any Black person.”
