Back in 2012, Bill Maher sent Alexandra Pelosi, the daughter of Nanci Pelosi, to go film stupid white men in the backwoods of Mississippi. I watched it back then, but I can't find the video online right now, but here is a story about it. https://www.mediaite.com/tv/bill-maher-panel-mocks-rural-mississippi-confederates-from-snug-hollywood-perch/
There was one guy on food stamps, but most refused to take government assistance even though they were extremely poor & missing teeth. Most would rather be poor than take government handouts.
So a week after that, Maher sent her to film in the inner city at a welfare office. https://www.mediaite.com/tv/alexandra-pelosi-debuts-new-video-on-real-time-maher-says-it-may-make-liberals-go-insane/
"Pelosi revealed afterwards that some of the people she spoke to at HBO told her that the video was too controversial for TV. She noted a slight hypocrisy between the willingness to run a video of “toothless rednecks, but when it’s our neighbors,” it becomes a problem."
"He responds, “Only because my ancestors came here to help build this place – my ancestors, the slaves.” He said the last time he worked was “half a decade” ago, and he wasn’t looking for a job – “maybe a career, but not a job.”" https://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/PelosivideowelfareHBO/2012/03/20/id/433239/
"The people Pelosi interviewed at a welfare office on New York City’s 14th Street, admit they don’t want a job, and support President Barack Obama “because he gives me stuff,” and “because he’s black.”"
"One man smokes and drinks Budweiser through a straw as he stands on line. He laughs as he admits to having five children by four different mothers. He tells Pelosi, “I’m here to get a check … whatever they’ve got to offer, it’s not like they’ve got a checklist ..."
I can't find the full videos of ether the Mississippi video or the welfare video, but this link has clips from the welfare video: https://grabien.com/story.php?id=379
While the white Mississippi backwoods people were poor & clearly not very bright, most of them still had a can-do outlook about their own lives. Most didn't want handouts. Civilization can be built & maintained by such men.
I think it shows a difference between the Republican underclass vs the Democrat underclass. They both are not very bright & say stupid stuff, but those in the Republican underclass still want to work & contribute to society in their own way as best they can.
