You look at this and think those days are gone, you would be wrong. People still live in these deplorable conditions in the United States of America. Hey, why give them a hand up when we can give the illegals a hand out.

Reminds me of home only there was 9 of us. We wee never hungry and we had clean hand me down clothes and no shoes until school started. Mom and Dad worked really hard to keep us kids and no welfare, no food stamps. I really appreciate what I have now. I really appreciate what my parents endured raising us kids. We dont ever forget where we came from. I thank my mom every day. My Dad has already passed.

People need a reality check now and again. If you have your basics met, the whole world is your oyster.

As my grandmomma always said, even though you may be poor, there is no excuse in being dirty and not caring for your teeth. You can see this picture still if you travel into some of the West Virginia mountains.

Despite the popular dogma and politically correct viewpoint, doesn't seem to me that they got much benefit from being white.
Which kinda shoots down the theory that just because you're white, you are automatically born with, blessed with, some intangible gift that allows you to become rich and privileged. And it ain't just seen in West Virginia, either. Go see how Indians live in Yakima, Washington. One can also still find it deep in the mountains of Kentucky or Tennessee. Mississippi and Alabama got places like this too. Welfare, food stamps, assisted housing, free medical care, free transportation, etc, doesn't reach everyone.
