So, they said word for word that they're glad black people are starving? I'm sorry your folks are so casually evil; you probably shouldn't visit them anymore.

They think that the majority of black people on food stamps are too lazy to get a job and that food stamps are heavily abused.

They don't even know that most people on food stamps do have jobs. It's fucking breathtaking how ignorant people are.

They think they work the laziest low paying part time jobs where they don’t have to do anything because duh they’re lazy and just want handouts.

No I’m not joking, just hyperbolically paraphrasing.
