The Truth

BY: DR. FOREST LEWIS

This column has been a long time coming!

I become infuriated when I see, "For Rent Signs" in my little enclave of Rochester, New York. I know two things will happen, (1) Some greedy suburban landlord will rent to a welfare recipient, and (2) Said recipients will move into the house with two or three different families, and proceed to trash the structure.

Folks, this is not a generalization. After moving from the South to Brooklyn, New York, I witnessed this outrageous behavior for the first time in my life. My dad, a hardworking individual, moved his family from Bedford Styvesant, one of the more dangerous sections of Brooklyn, and into the Bushwick part of this borough!

You have probably heard Mike Tyson telling reporters of being raised in "Bed-Sty." The late rapper, "The Notorious B.I.G., was born and raised in Brooklyn's Bed-Sty! You either grow up fast in Bed Sty, or you will be  killed. Really, it is as simple as that. This is not a place to walk around like you are in "la-la land."

After moving into our spanking, brand new apartment, a strange thing took place. We noticed that European-Americans were quickly moving out. Not because we had moved into the area. These folks felt a shifting of the winds, so to speak. And they were right! It wasn't long before this once beautiful middle-class community was being overrun by "Welfare People." These people weren't looking for a hand up, they were looking for "a life long hand out." They were professional "beggars." They had watched their mothers and grandmothers begin this pathetic cycle. So, when it came their turn, "They Knew The Drill."

It wasn't long before the welfare people had their children "peeing in the hallways." They were also marking up the walls, inside and outside of their apartments. Their filthy ways was an open invitation for "New York's Cockroaches To Pay Us A Visit." An invasion soon took place in our apartment. I can remember my late brother getting up in the morning, and vigorously shaking his trousers. When I asked him why did he have to make so much noise, he replied, "I'm not taking any roaches with me to school."

In no time, our once beautiful apartment was turned into a nightmare. I should note that it wasn't just Whites who took flight, many Blacks also left my neighborhood. Mr. Edward Bates took my first love, Linda, and moved his brood out from amongst the welfare people. That really hurt! However, it wasn't in the cards that I should marry Linda. I can say this in retrospect. At the time of her family's departure, I was livid at the welfare people. Do not believe the hype, like Marlo Thomas, of "That Girl" fame finding this "Cheap Immaculate" apartment in an upscale section of Manhattan. Living in New York City, "Ain't Easy." If you want to live well, you'd better have a fat bankroll! Or a "Fat Sugar Daddy!"

I eventually escaped the welfare people and entered the U.S. Marine Corps. I vowed that I would never live in any area where there were "Welfare People." For the most part, I have kept my promise. That is until several years ago. My wife and I sold our suburban home and moved into the city. We live in a safe enclave of Rochester. However, "The Welfare People" have been able to slither into our area, thanks to sleazy landlords who couldn't care less who they rent to. All they want is the M.O.N.E.Y. What happens to your neighborhood is of no concern to them.

We have welfare people on either side of us. The lady who lived next door to us, was a decent woman. Her children were always dressed in a fastidous manner. Her boys were respectful. A rare trait in today's society, not only with African-Americans--but with European-Americans as well. This woman kept the outside of her home clean. I wish that I could say the same for the piggish landlord that this woman rented from. The home is falling apart; and this slob refuses to put a dime into making necessary repairs; which would also upgrade the neighborhood. But hey, he doesn't have to live here.

I don't wish to give the wrong impression. Many of the homes in my area sell in the six figures. It is just those damn "Welfare People." They are like a storm of locusts. An infestation of locusts can wipe out a farmer's entire crop, that he and his family has labored over all year. Indolent welfare people not only bring down property values, they also bring crime to a community.

Michael Vick is in a "peck of trouble" because he couldn't leave "his homies" behind. Welfare people can move into a good community, but they also bring with them, "their homies."  Please do not feel sorry for me. I am willing to bet that you have them in your community. I don't care how affluent you are. Liberals will make sure that there is a place for these people, even though they haven't earned the right to live in your community. I recall this former welfare patient that I worked with at one of my area hospitals. She had the nerve to argue with billing one day. Hold onto your hat! She said, "This Is My Money, You People Are Taking." Excuse me? But each time this idiot came into the hospital, she had to produce her "Medicaid Card." For the record, this beastly woman, a European-American, hadn't worked a day in her miserable life!

I mentioned that there were two welfare families in my community. The last family is in the process of moving. I was shocked to see the "For Rent" sign in the window of this old dwelling. Hell, they just moved in. No sooner had they unloaded their last piece of furniture, a front window was broken. Trash was strewn around their house. They never pulled in their garbage containers. Hell, just take the trash out to the container. That's less work. Remember, work to these people, whether they are Black or White, is like displaying a cross to Count Dracula!

It took me ten years of schooling to figure out why some people like to destroy the property of others. You will find some of the reasons listed below:

. Jealousy

. They know that the welfare system will always find them new "digs"

. Many of these people are polysubstance abusers. A polysubstance abuser is one who uses more than one drug. The use of drugs releases one's inhibitions. So, "If I Throw A Brick Through The Window, Oh Well"

. Many of these people simply can not interact with intelligent people. Frustration sets in. Instead of kicking the dog or cat(SATIRE), these people destroy property

. We are not dealing with "Bright People." If they were bright, they wouldn't make a career off of welfare

Socialists democrats love welfare recipients. They love them, because they are not a threat to "Anal Retentive Democrats." The democrats love these people-- because all the democrats need to do is, (A) Provide them with a meager monthly check, (B) Make sure that no one gets out of line and "Starts To Think."

In the meantime, Conservatives and Republicans are called racists and bigots. Calling me a bigot would indeed be an oxymoron! Conservatives and Republicans are people who believe that as Americans, "The Sky Is The Limit." People like Hillary Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama belive in keeping people on their knees by telling them, "It's good to stay on welfare for generation to generation."

Tell me, when was the last time you heard either one of these two hypocrites say anything negative about "Welfare?" I can answer that. You haven't-- And you won't hear anything from Clinton, Obama, "The Breck Girl," John Edwards, or any of the other democrat presidential aspirants.  This is a large part of their base--although these people do not vote. Still, the democrats don't want "To Wake This Sleeping Giant."

Welfare as we know it is the great American tragedy. It has wrecked the African-Ameican family. The phoneys over at the NAACP say, "A Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Waste." Oh, really? I don't think they were considering the welfare people when they coined that phrase! What do you think?
