Everyone is Black

It is interesting to read comments following the letters to the editor in the Nashville, Tennessean. If one did not know better it would be very easy to get the impression that every person on welfare was black. Furthermore, in the opinion of many of the critics on the right, every black welfare recipient is using drugs and using the welfare money to purchase drugs. There is one exception and that involves the welfare recipient selling food stamps to get money for drugs since it is not possible to buy drugs directly with food stamps. (Keep in mind, however, that if drugs are legalized, then it would be possible to buy drugs with food stamps so at that point they will buy drugs with food stamps.) Further reading of the comments to the letters to the editor reveal that the now black, drugged up, welfare recipients are also responsible for voter fraud and they are the reason photo IDs are required to vote in 2012. Without photo IDs the black, drugged up welfare recipients would all show up at multiple polling places and vote in the names of dead people. There has yet to be a comment written to indicate if, before they died, the dead voters were black, drugged up welfare recipients but given the opportunity to make that claim, it will certainly be made. This may come as a surprise to the conservative, right-wing comment writers, but all evil in the world may not be committed entirely by black people. While they may dispute the following assertion, it is doubtful that all black people use drugs and they would also probably dispute whether or not only black people are on welfare.
