Welfare is a drop in the fukkin bucket yo.
A program largely utilized by poor white people.

You want to help people get on their feet?
Cut back the 700 billion dollar spending each year toward the military and invest that money into schools, manufacturing, infrastructure and social programs that keep kids out of boredom and trouble so they develop skills and get interested in shyt that might propel them to lucrative careers.

Motherfukkers.

^^^ So many politicians and companies have cash invested in the military that isn't needed, they just now starting to scale that shyt back. Our most basic schools could have university-level funding, but we gotta build another jet fighter or pay more military pensions to 'defend ourselves'.

:mjlol:

keyword "tend"

lol you're one of those people that think everybody that makes it make it in America made it off hardwork and education, not realizing the Asian dentist in the nice suburb family has growhouses all around the city, that the Arabs with the portfolio of businesses do bank fraud, and the Nigerians with the 1M house, hit a lick with Medicaid fraud. These aren't hypothetical situations either. It's cool because most people can't see past the veil, I can spot a money-laundering front and illegal money fast though.

I'm just a Nigerian kid that was born in Southwest Houston, my friend Damilare comes from the same background (and does have a bullet wound in his leg) but :duck: right?

Now that I posted proof he exist I guess the next accusation is that I don't talk to him as much as I claim. :mjlol:One of his close friend before he went to boarding school just signed for 30 behind a triple homicide, and he still keeps up with him and a bunch of other nikkas locked up behind murders and robbery, but that must be :duck: because you said that type of stuff doesn't "tend" to happen.

I got uncles that do fraud involving Nigerian government contracts for light-bulbs, I have uncles that work for Chase/JP Morgan. Don't apply your simple life tropes to my life. You never seen it doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

This shyt almost makes me want to stunt on you internet peons, but I don't flex period and definitely not on the internet.

One of my main mentors, a "low rent dope dealer" by your word, owns and bunch of business and property is debating whether to purchase a home in the energy corridor or Memorial, but he probably doesn't exist either :lolbron:

In the real world it doesn't matter how you get your money, as long as you have money and trouble isn't coming with it.

But back to main topic, yea if you're not from the hood or barely know the inner workings of the hood, keep your left-wing ivory tower solutions on "how to fix the hood" to yourself :umad:


Well said breh

I felt the same way about posting my nikka on here at first, but he's graduated and quit Wall Street. He now works in an environment where everybody knows his background, so he doesn't have to worry about a old white supervisor calling him like "Tell me more about your friends back in Southwest Houston :francis:"

It's just wack you can't even put nikkas on game on this forum because everything is :duck: on here. nikkas that haven't experienced shyt get the same speaking platform as nikkas that have damn near seen it all.

Thomas Sowell: Welfare helps politicians, not the poor – Orange County Register


Sowell argues that welfare helps corporations/politicians and not the poor.

"The goal is not to keep the poor from starving but to create dependency, because dependency translates into votes for politicians who play Santa Claus.

We have all heard the old saying about how giving a man a fish feeds him for a day, while teaching him to fish feeds him for a lifetime. Independence makes for a healthier society, but dependency is what gets votes for politicians."

Poor rural whites vote Republican, and still have cycles of poverty. Explain that.
