The zombie lie of Black freeloading never dies because racism is a powerful drug

Ah yes, this bullshit again.

The clip below is two years old, and I missed it the first time, but it’s the gift that keeps on giving.

MAGA whiteness never sleeps.

It spreads stupidity 24/7, never missing an opportunity to simultaneously demonstrate its bigotry and incapacity for research.

And so, behold a white woman so bigoted that she proudly proclaims Black lives don’t matter and so marinated in right-wing asshattery that she honestly seems to believe Black people get “free college” and “free everything.”

Unlike whites, who presumably earned all that we have through hard work.

You know, like the Trumps.

And without any violence, theft of land, genocide, or a system of kidnapped labor at all.

Give it a look. You owe it to yourself to see what the master race hath wrought, even in Vermont — that “liberal” state.
