No Free Lunch Bootstraps for Black Children
“I don’t believe in welfare,” Republican Nebraskan Governor Jim Pillen. In case you are unfamiliar with American history, this means he hates black Americans, who he believes are lazy and unable to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, which isn’t going to give them. So, he has decided that he will not be using federal government money to give out free lunches to the poor this summer.
Before you start comparing his attitude toward the poor minorities to treatment of Palestinian children in Gaza, and thinking his attitude is like Netanyahu’s on how he sees children in the oppressed minority and thinking he looks on the black area of town like a mini concentration camp where “they” need to be retained in and mentally fenced in, then perhaps you should consider the key word he used: “welfare.” (Wait, that isn’t a bad comparison though — the mental fence of the American black ghetto white governors looks at keeping poor blacks contained in is kind of like the barbwire caging Gaza).
The word is directly reflected in the US Constitution in the pre-amble. It states the government’s job is to provide for the “general Welfare.” Now why was that phrase added and did it have anything to do with black African slaves? I think you just answered that question.
