Right-wing pastor Joel Webbon was explicit: “Why pick a White man? You should make your message more believable by picking someone Black.”

A lot of these guys are just completely mask-off these days.

    "I want to be Krang from TMNT and suck the whole world into dimension X!"

    "Well I want to be The Man With the Golden Gun and steal solar technology that can be weaponized into a giant space laser and hold the world ransom!"

    "I just want to be Abys Mal from Aladdin and get a cool hat..."

    Look, all I'm saying is that Krang is sitting at the perfect height.

    Every one of those right wing complainers are among the worst people on earth.

    They never seem to complain about rich people who just live off investments and inherited wealth.

    British right-wing commentator Charles Cornish-Dale, known online as “Raw Egg Nationalist.”

    Wtf why do raw-egg eating weirdos seperated by an entire ocean and half an America know, let alone have a take on political ads in Arkansas?

    “black people are astronomically more likely to be on welfare than white people. So the number of single young white male ‘Brads’ abusing the welfare system is minuscule. Practically non-existent.

    Pretty ridiculously disingenuous and misleading to make this complaint when there are more white people on food stamps than black people.

    I have been a white man who needed assistance and turned to "welfare" to survive.

    It's nice not needing the help anymore. Transitioning to being not broke wasn't an easy or quick process, and I certainly couldn't have done it all on my own, but it was worth it. I'm still a white guy though I try not to hold that against myself.

    That's called statistics! Remember, there are 3 types of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.

    This is just another rebranding of the "13 50" bullshit in a different trenchcoat.

    When looking at stats, you shouldn’t look at absolute numbers, you need to look at distribution too. According to google US is approximately 59% white, and 13% black, and food stamp numbers are 38% white and 25% black. So there does seem to be truth to if you are black you are more likely to be on food stamps.

    Systemic racism might play a factor here.

    Sure but in context that should not matter at all if the question is what demographic is the appropriate choice to represent the typical US welfare recipient. In this case total numbers are more relevant than relative proportion, you'd want the median person.

    More than 1/3 of just under 2/3 of the population vs 1/4 of slightly over 1/10 of the population.

    Rough estimates

    White on food stamps: 76.2 million

    Black on food stamps: 11.1 million

    That’s my point though, those numbers are meaningless. What if I gave you these numbers:

    White not on food stamps: 122.6 million

    Black not on food stamps: 33.2 million

    There are zero valid conclusions to be drawn.

    Analyzing the actual numbers, it seems a random black person is 3x more likely to be on food stamps than a random white person in the US.

    (0.25/0.13) / (0.38/0.59) = 2.99

    Might? Centuries of being held down at every turn and prevented from accumulating generational wealth "might" be a factor in modern poverty?

    They want to sell the illusion that their racist welfare cuts are, in fact, colorblind, or at least to an outward audience. Even in cases when a certain welfare is more enjoyed by whites, such as disability in Hungary, as Fidesz made it harder to access to many disabled people, due to far-right bloggers between 2006-2010 told people, that "voivode and overweight Roma drug dealers" are pretending to be intellectually disabled and amputees, to get welfare money and disabled parking spots for their Mercedeses. Though some bloggers also went after neurodivergent people, and claimed they were pushed into intellectual labor, due to "DEI mandates" and the mothers of those people fucking the way to their children (yes, they plagiarized it from Forrest Gump, because fascists don't have imagination, as seen by the sheer amount of AI slop they pump out).

    LOL... able bodied 35 year olds. Not in this economy. Between lack of healthcare, body damage from work or enlistment, and a satiating diet of food "products" to constant stress from all the economic crashes and disasters that happened yeah... Go fuck-a-bee cunts. We all paid into these funds while these lazy fucks say $175,000 a year isn't enough money for them to "work" a couple month year blowing smoke up everyone's ass. That's welfare fraud. Pay the leeches $7.25 an hour only for the hours they work. Filth.

    The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh, who exists almost entirely as a Twitter troll at this point, raged that “black people are astronomically more likely to be on welfare than white people. So the number of single young white male ‘Brads’ abusing the welfare system is minuscule. Practically non-existent. But of course Republicans don’t have the balls to do this ad with ‘Shaniqua’ as the villain.”

    Fucking idiot. There are ~4x the white people in the U.S. (>50%) compared to black people in the U.S. (<15%).

    Let's all agree that's the baseline, and not worth noting. This will save us all WEEKS over a lifetime.

    This is dangerous thinking and one of the very reasons conservatives do shit like this. They want people to ignore both sides, when in reality the left's concerns are not only valid, they are in many cases literally existential.
