The sad part is people like you believe it's a legit claim, and that only white people can be racist. White republicans to be exact, 99% of the time.

A lot of people do legitimately need help. A lot more abuse the shit out of the system, and both instances include people from all races.
It's very easy to claim that it doesn't exist when you're white and relatively comfortable.

Truth is, it's all over. On an almost daily basis I hear black people complaining about Mexicans and Arabs, listen to Asians hating on other varieties of Asians, watch a black man in a position of power fail to be able to distinguish between his living white clients and his one dead one (that he constantly forgets is dead), hear white men blame their problems on black people, hear white men complain that Hispanics are stealing their jobs (while they're too lazy to get off their asses and look), hear an Indian guy be an ass to an Afghani, see that same Afghani become a racist self parody, and everybody involved likes to think that it's only somebody else who does it.

Personally I think xenophobia against Hispanics is far more of a problem for the Republican Party than racism against black people.

I don't blame much on racism. I comment on it when I see it or observe it though.

As for what I blame Republican actions on? I blame the fact that the Republicans have people like you convinced they need to act against their own economic interests. I blame the fact that Republicans want to destroy the ability for the government to be successful to encourage profiteering and unfettered capitalism. It's slash and spend elsewhere statecraft.

I understand that in your mind the Invisible Democratic Party totally blames everything on racism and that only white Republicans can be racist. I live in the world though. There's racism all over.

I believe more people need help than abuse the system. I certainly do believe they exist, though, and I think it is one of the things (apart from the last Republican President to cut spending being over 50 years ago) that makes the Republican Party pathetic that they had the chance to make a national ID card to address much of this fraud when they controlled the Presidency and Congress and they never did.
