(34,648 posts)Some think that it's those 'other blacks' who are the real problem, the ones on 'welfare', they say, as they cash their ssi check. Is it bizzarre? Yes. Did they get it honest? Yep. Everywhere they go they hear how lazy we are. They have a "where there's smoke there's fire" view of things, it's not "them" who is lazy and bad. It's those other blacks. They are 'the good ones'. And white people reinforce this belief constantly, especially the republican party. They tell their blacks how special and better than us liberal blacks they are. People love positive reinforcement. Especially when it matches their disgusting shameful worldview. Build the wall a hispanic guy says, or we will have taco trucks on every corner. To him those are bad hispanics making them look bad. I see it all the time.
