Rok, in those days, everybody who wanted a job had a job, the only difference being that some jobs paid more than others.
There are times when I don't have a clue as to what you're talking about, but I've noticed there is always something in regard to welfare in it.
"Welfare" is what makes southern whites feel superior, when in fact they are the major beneficiaries of welfare.
Rok, I've read Eudora Welty, Flannery O'Conner, and William Faulkner, plus that, I've spent time in Texas, Mississippi and Georgia; not to mention that Missouri is in reality "the south"; consequently, no body knows southern "code talk" better than me. Nobody knows the desperate need for white lower middle class southerners to feel superior to Black people, and that's why you always mention "Welfare" or "Food stamps".
