It would have African-American folks living on the masters (Govt.) estate (low income housing, section 8, etc..) and taking handouts for food (vouchers, food stamps, etc...) They could also have healthcare (Medicaid, CHIP, etc...) but would have to use sub-standard facilities, wait in long lines, and end up on wait lists. They could try to escape by finding a job (but minimum wage doesn't pay any more than the Govt. freebies) They could look to their own leaders like al Sharpton, jesse Jackson, louis Farrakhan, and even oprah winfrey but they seem to be only interested in their own MILLIONS AND BILLIONS and stirring the pot (sounds like an uncle tom almost?) Oh wait, we don't have to make that movie do we?....Yea, those are your democratic policies and leaders helping hold you down. Making you constantly play the victim. Always promising a freebie to help get your vote so THEY can stay where they have always been, AWAY FROM YOU. They only come out when they need you for their own purpose, and to further themselves and to prevent themselves from becoming irrelevant. Don't be a modern slave, stop the cycle, RAISE YOURSELF up and above those who would hold you down. Now that would be a movie to see.....

Stay Woke crowd will hate it. It's too reality-based.

If you down voted this, what kind of person WANTS to be wholly owned by another person or their Govt.? What is wrong with you? Have you been on the teat so long you don't know how to get off of it? Do you want to be a modern day slave? Do you know what EVERY FRICKIN slave in the history of the world would say if they could raise themselves above their masters?? They'd say HELL YES. I can only think that the leeches that down voted, are the ones who want it all for doing nothing, for riding coat tails. And to that I say, you deserve what you get, or what you won't get when it's taken away.

There's your problem. You tried to think.

Don't think. You'll hurt yourself.

Welfare being compared to slavery is ridiculous. And in your story couldn't the 'slave' be white? There are about as many Caucasians on welfare as blacks.

Thank you savage, going to order now. This should be required media on all college campuses if it expresses the same sentiments.

And once you compare those stats with population percentage, that ratio skyrockets.

"Welfare being compared to slavery is ridiculous"

Maybe it's the wording, how bout Masters Money instead? How bout Govt. money instead? Is it the word you are stuck on or the definition? Wefare: financial support given to people in need. Some people need for decades I guess, generations even. Financial support = someone else's money, and at that point does it matter who it comes from? Once you accept it, you have to follow THEIR rules for using it. White or black? No it doesn't matter, even working folks are slaves to their jobs, bosses, but have more freedoms and abilities to make more money.
