One of my co-workers, (pre-retirement Maine) used to rail about the 'Welfare folk'.

I shared with him the actual statistics, that 98% of those receiving benefits were Elderly, Children, & People with disabilities, & white.

Ronny Raygun along with Lee Atwater were successful with their "Southern Strategy" in coded dog whistles, "Welfare Queens" are black.
