03/12/2022 Update: I had to edit this today to fix the broken links to the 35(!) images that came with this email. I took them out rather than trying to replace the images; too much work for something this malevolent. Also, why is this person still in my friend list?
This is the other racist e-mail that was sent to me by someone I thought was a friend. I got this a week and a half ago, I believe. I’m putting the entire text of the e-mail below the fold because I want to be sure that my friends know, before they see it, that it doesn’t come from me, that I didn’t write it, and that I don’t endorse anything that it says.
I went back and forth about putting this e-mail up, but I think it’s important that people see it and know this kind of stuff is out there being passed around by white supremacists.
If you want to really understand how the welfare system works in America after the welfare reform that happened in the 1990s, read this book:
American Dream: Three Women, Ten Kids, and a Nation’s Drive to End Welfare by Jason DeParle
Illegal Immigrants Poem
I cross ocean,
poor and broke,
Take bus,
see employment folk.
Nice man treat me
good in there,
Say I need to
see welfare.
Welfare say,
“You come no more,
We send cash
right to your door.”
Welfare checks,
they make you wealthy,
Medicaid it keep
you healthy!
By and by,
I got plenty money,
Thanks to you,
American dummy.
Write to friends
in motherland,
Tell them ‘come
fast as you can.’
They come in turbans
and Ford trucks,
I buy big house
with welfare bucks
They come here,
we live together,
More welfare checks,
it gets better!
Fourteen families,
they moving in,
But neighbor’s patience
wearing thin.
Finally, white guy
moves away,
Now I buy his house,
and then I say,
“Find more aliens
for house to rent.”
And in the yard
I put a tent.
Send for family
they just trash,
But they, too,
draw the welfare cash!
Everything is
very good,
And soon we
own the neighborhood.
We have hobby
it’s called breeding,
Welfare pay
for baby feeding.
Kids need dentist?
Wife need pills?
We get free!
We got no bills!
American crazy!
He pay all year,
To keep welfare
running here.
We think America
darn good place!
Too darn good for
the white man race
If they no like us,
they can scram,
Got lots of room in
Pakistan.
SEND THIS TO EVERY AMERICAN TAXPAYER YOU KNOW
Of course the most absurd thing about this e-mail is that though the e-mail isn’t true about modern-day immigrants, WHITE people did exactly what their describing, except that they did it 400 years ago. We’re ALL immigrants.
Welfare makes you rich? Hmm, maybe I should try that.:-)
Now are they living off of the government or taking all our jobs? I’m confused. I thought that you couldn’t get on walfare if you aren’t a citizen.
So in other words ::stomps feet:: it’s just not fair!!!
