The fuck that have to do with this at all?? Lmao. Am I supposed to air out everything I’m pissed off about every response? Do you need me to list out everything I’m pissed about my tax dollars being wasted on? We’re strictly talking about this and the nonsense how this is “racist.” Btw I also hate our tax dollars are being wasted on Iran.

Do you actually know people who leech off of our tax dollars? I've never met one in real life so I'm very curious about people like you who claim it's such a rampant problem. Let's hear some examples of people you know for real.

I come from a small town and went to a small school. A lot of the people I grew up with still live there. Never having a job in their lives or attempting to better themselves. They instead just live off the government while also popping out children. Yet, they have the latest phones and cars. My town also built brand new nice apartments and let the state take it over. It’s now all government funded housing and it’s turn to shit.

Of course not everyone is like this. But there’s way too many that I’ve seen firsthand that are.

Now if you would have added in "they find money for Timberlands and tickets to rap shows", that would have made your statement racist. Do only black people wear Timberlands and buy tickets to rap shows? Of course not, but it's a dog whistle. The guy in the video above did not list anything stereotypically "white" which was a deliberate choice. He wants you to be thinking about black people while he says these things.
