"lazy poor"/"lazy welfare"

Unless someone can disprove this I still feel the criticism of attributing laziness has racial undertone since Hispanics blacks and other people of color are recipients. Ironically if I am not mistaken, whites comprise the most among welfare recipients. I have been in too many welfare discussions where people always say:

"Oh those people are lazy and don't want to get a job"

"Those people will end up in the jail system"

Those people are people of color who many of them have mental disorders, lost their jobs, homes, many are single parents. When I had to go on welfare I felt entitled to use it since my taxes fund it. I felt no embarassment. Do people take advantage? Yes but its not just welfare but any handout or any form of assistance some people will take advantage.

The deserve no respect when they spout lies about my religion and my God, more than once telling me to my face that we are child killers and that we just hide it so we are not locked up.

As far as I am concerned they are a waste of human breath:

Point two of the Church of Satan's Pentagonal Revisionism:

"[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]2. Strict taxation of all churches—If churches were taxed for all their income and property, they’d crumble overnight of their own obsolescence, and the National Debt would be wiped out as quickly. The productive, the creative, the resourceful should be subsidized. So long as the useless and incompetent are getting paid, they should be heavily taxed."

Churches are tax exempt businesses.
[/FONT]

You are speaking of specific individuals, I am speaking of a profession. You don't like it when Satanism is judged by the murders committed by individuals who claimed to be Satanists so why are you judging pastors for the actions committed by a few of them?

I have seen the term lazy used as a racial aspect of African Americans but rarely against Latinos. Even the most racists seem to agree that Latinos are very hard working and most complaints revolve around them stealing jobs by being so hard working.

Are there lazy people on welfare? Sure. Does that mean we should get rid of welfare. No.

Actually laziness is also used against Latinos due to the fact that.undocumented workers are misconstrued as the entire construct of Latinos. There are a great many lazy latinos whether from Mexico to Cuba. But I agree

I've heard the laziness accusation being thrown around at both blacks and Latinos on a general scale. Totally wrong and uncool.

What about lazy white folk?
Up here, "lazy" generally refers to them.....there is just so dang many of'm.
And we all see "Mexicans" out cutting lawns, so they're thought of as industrious.

I don't get it... illegals cant become doctors and lawyers due to the problem of getting credentials since they are not citizens. Do people really think there is a crises of aliens stealing jobs at McDonalds and fruit picking and other entry level jobs that require no education?

I haven't heard the term mentioned about white folk. "Ignorant" is what I hear about whites, though.

But we're talking about "lazy" and the implications toward race, ethnicity, or economic class. And I haven't ever heard whites ever being mentioned as being lazy.

The many laggards get spill over credit from the few white hard workers.
But people love to make criticism of the welfare about race, even when it isn't.
(This straw man lets'm dismiss valid criticism of welfare by attacking the critic.)
So I venture that much of what is perceived as racism actually isn't.
We all know that most on the dole in America are white folk (most of'm lazy).

Your wrong. Actually illegal immigrants can become lawyers and doctors. The issue is practicing. There was a guy who was here illegally and received his JD (Juris Doctorate) so he wanted to practice law However he was here illegally and didn't go through proper channels. Now many Latinos are taking up his cause because they feel he should practice law. How can a lawyer enforce the law while breaking it himself? Curious...

The issue of aliens is a civil an administrative issue, not a criminal issue; I mean quite literally it is a civil offense, not a criminal offense. They are NOT criminals if they are here illegally (as in without citizenship) but have broken no criminal laws.

It's an issue of "who belongs where?" not, "these people are criminals and should be locked up!"

Um, yes they are....Any law whether its a traffic, misdemeanor, felony, are all considered "criminal acts" if it wasn't so you wouldn't get punished. Most illegal aliens in SoCal use dead persons social security cards that is criminal. Most illegal aliens that are from MS-13 La Eme that commit crimes either drug trafficking or murder are criminals.

Any illegal alien that uses someone's social security and gets the benefits that I have as a natural citizen is a criminal...

I've heard the term used for white teenagers, not really because they are white but more because kids today don't like to work.
