    My Dogs This morning I went to sign my dogs up for welfare. At first the lady said, "dogs are not eligible to draw welfare." I explained to her that my dogs are mixed in color, unemployed, lazy, can't speak English and have no clue who their Daddy's are. They expect me to feed them, provide them with housing and medical care. She looked in her policy book to see what it takes to qualify. My dogs get their first checks this Friday. Dang, this sure is a great country.

        Racism? It looks like a stab at the welfare system to me.

                  I can't move it, and I wouldn't as I don't think anything is wrong with the joke. But I see some prejudiced perps downvoted to have the message removed.

                            it's an old, well-known, racist joke. the color changes depending on who's feeling superior, but the sentiment remains the same.

                                        here's a nice prominent example: http://newsone.com/nation/casey-gane-mccalla/virginia-gop-chair-sends-racist-welfare-black-dog-email/[^] yes, his dog was black. your dogs were "mixed". there are plenty of examples on the net where the 'mixed' implies racially impure. also, the "lazy", "doesn't speak English", "doesn't know who his daddy is", etc. stuff is boilerplate racist garbage.

                                        and so that's why you left all those negative stereotypes in there.

                                          1. What are the facts? 2) What is the intent? 3) What about the poster? 4) What motivated you?
