Somehow they feel they deserve any help they get while others (people not their color) don't. I don't know why there is such a disconnect. I just think its the rightwing propaganda machine causing people to hate and blame each other. It's the oldest tactic on Earth- divide and conquer. Very sad. I hope things improve for your daughter.
