As it was originally envisioned, Welfare was, and this is how Johnson described it, a "temporary hand up in a time of need."

It quickly became more than that when many of its original requirements were stripped away by successive administrations and Congress, Democrat AND Republican.

Republicans didn't start really going after the new plantation state it created until the 1980s.

Workfare, or Welfare to Work, which was instituted by some Republican states in the 1990s. That made Democrats howl like mad and they were fairly successful in blocking it at the wider Federal level.

FTR, it isn't just one race of people in this country that's dependent on welfare.

Very true.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Many slave state had laws restricting the freeing of slaves.  One of the restrictions I heard about was requiring the owner to essentially set them up with land and property so they would be self sufficient.  I am sure it depended on which state you were in.

That was the official vision for reconstruction after the civil war. There could be no effective end to slavery without land reform.... merely statutorily freeing slaves would be symbolic, because if they had to go back to "free" labor on the same plantations they worked as slaves, they would be no better off, and indeed possibly worse off. This is why the Northern occupiers initially set up land offices to off homesteads to freed slaves...the apocryphal "40 acres and a mule" they would need to survive independently as free laborers. Alas it didn't take long before the Democrats re-corrupted the new government and reconstruction effectively never took place. They got away with it because a majority of Northern supporters were primarily concerned with ensuring slavery did not expand either into their territory, which it threatened mightily to do with late supreme court decisions, but especially into the new territories, where it could not coexist with free labor. Once the Confederacy fell there was little will from the north to expend effort to prevent the black man from being re-enslaved, sadly.

As I don't know what "FTR" means, I'll pass on that.
As for the "race-dependent" welfare recipients, in terms of total numbers and NOT percentage of the whole population, the largest number are African-Americans, followed by Native Americans (Indians), with Latinos close behind.  In fact, with all the illegals now in the U.S., latinos may have even passed up Native Americans.  Asiatics and Caucasians have made up a much smaller number until the last few years.  The pandemic and lockdowns have thrown many of what used to be "middle class" into the deep end where even they are struggling.

Well, if you're part of the tolerant and loving left, it means...

FTR means "for the record." I don't know if your stats are correct, but regardless all of that started about 100 years after the abolition of slavery. So how would that be too "expensive" for the long-dead slave-owners?

I'd be honestly surprised if those stats are correct. There are vast amounts of white people on welfare including generational and systemic welfare.

The second, maybe, but only if you look for it. https://x.com/RevampedCP/status/1844450818868859368

The woman with ketchup on her mouth looks like she's insane. Terrible ad.

But how is it more racially insensitive than this ad?

While doing the laundry the other night I got to wondering, what is the current PC way to refer to how the laundry is separated before washing?  I've always divided the laundry into loads of "colors", "darks" and "whites". 

I'm guessing those labels are no longer acceptable?

NYC just legalized jaywalking because being against jaywalking is apparently racist. You can't make this up

That wouldn't have anything to do with 77% of the jaywalkers being black or hispanic, would it?

At the risk of sounding like I agree with the leftist weirdos, Are 77% of Jaywalkers black and hispanic, or are 77% of jaywalkers that are ticketed black and hispanic?  I bet NYPD isn't giving out a bunch of jaywalking tickets on Wall Street and Park Ave.  NYPD also kinda has a record of using BS laws to *expletive deleted*ck with folks they don't like the look of.

I was thinking more people in the Bronx are jaywalking than are people on Wall Street, just like there's more crime in general in the Bronx than Wall Street (not counting financial crime).

Sure, makes sense.  And since the only time I've been in NYC in the last 30 years I drove through without stopping and was actually relieved to hit Jersey (a weird feeling, let me tell you) I am not qualified to opine on jaywalking habits of the five bourghs.

But when presented with the choice of DEI crybabies making *expletive deleted*it up or NYPD being corrupt and racist, I gotta wonder if the correct answer isn't "Both".

Jaywalking may as well be legal in NYC because it's the norm. "'I"m walkin' here" might as well be the city slogan.

Also, all the modern traffic safety data has shown for a long time that it's significantly safer to cross mid block than to cross at intersections, AND better for car throughout. This is the first time I've heard the race angle actually.

Certainly valid. And zahc makes a good point too. If 90% of your population is breaking a law, it's probably a good idea to reevaluate the law as written.

I've often thought about that regarding speed limits.  In many places if you are doing the 55 MPH speed limit on an interstate, you'll feel like you are parked because everybody will fly by you.  So what's the reason for the unrealistic number?
