Hillary called people on welfare "deadbeats"

47. My point is that she did not in anyway accept that there

were people who her program would hurt. Had I not had a state that was willing to stand against them my daughter today would have been dead.

Most of us took her statement about deadbeats as meaning that we were all deadbeats if for some reason we could not get off welfare.

There have been posts here about how Bill used dog whistles to tell the whites in the south that he was going to do something about crime - one was a picture of him and southern governors standing in front of a group of black prisons with their backs turned to them and talking about this issue. That was a horrible dog whistle and this deadbeat wording was very much the same thing.

It stereotypes people to the point that it influences all around them. And there is little one can do to fight back. I had two things going for me - my state and white privilege. The lady in NC did not have any of that. And there were a lot of us.
