    I’m convinced that GOP doesn’t want social programs because it might help black people. They’ve developed this into “pull yourself up by the bootstraps” to convince themselves it’s all ok.

      They would rather suffer, so long as it means that non-whites suffer more.

      They are like crabs in a pot, pulling back crabs that are trying to escape.

      That would fall in line with filling in public pools because they were being forced to share the space with black people. They would rather no one have it then share it.
