If so, preach sister. People don't want to hear it. They are looking at others through the lens of their own selves, their own behaviors and social norms.

I grew up in the projects in an economically depressed town. I went to the poor elementary school in that town. I grew up with white trash/welfare people. Those who remain in that type of environment/status in life just have a different culture/work ethic/social norms than productive, UMC people. It is not a good one. Sorry people don't want to hear it but throwing money at those types of people will do no good unless there is a major behavioral change that goes along with the money.

This is exactly it. Society has filters. My own grandparents were dirt poor, had too many kids, one gp an alcoholic. But this country afforded opportunities. Opportunities, not hand outs. My illiterate grandfather knew that his children had to go to college so they studied, got financial aid either through grants or through military service and went to college. If they displayed antisocial behavior they wouldn't have done well. You're supposed to be rewarded for pro social behavior and punished for antisocial behavior.

Did you know that grants and GI Bill were both unavailable to Black Americans for years? Social Security as well. If your grandparents were able to take advantage of social programs that were only available to Whites, that's a handout. It's just a socially acceptable one.

Thank you for pointing out this form of systematic racism. It really bothers me when people act like it didn’t happen.

It bothers me when people like call call it a handout, so I guess we're even.

DP. The GI bill was a handout. (Specifically, a handout that was intentionally very difficult for Black American GIs to get.) I don't have a problem calling it a handout, because I don't think handouts are bad.

No, it was not a handout. A handout is when you get something for free without having to actually give anything back.

The GI bill was in exchange for something. So different than a handout.

First of all, says who?

Second of all, why is that bad?

Third of all, the GI bill was (ostensibly) in exchange for something for some people. But not for others. And it was purposely designed to be that way.

Well you might not like the wording but it is. Its something they give or hand to you. It’s an entitlement… just like Medicare, welfare, tax breaks, disability.

They are all public assistance programs.

Nobody should feel bad about getting govt handouts because they are what make our country run.

No, you don't qualify. (Not least because the GI bill expired in 1956.) Handouts with qualifying factors are still handouts. Qualifying factors don't somehow de-handout-ify handouts.

If you think the term "handout" is pejorative, maybe think about why you believe the government shouldn't help people without demanding something in return.

I think the point is that PP told a stirring tale of her grandparents bootstrapping their way to middle class greatness, unlike some people, but PP failed to note that her grandparents path to that middle class lifestyle was paved with policies that explicitly created a white middle class suburban dream but were off-limits to non-whites.
