Slaves scraped and scrimped and worked their butts off for whatever meager personal possessions they were able to buy and keep. They have their own human dignity than can never e taken away by ANYONE.
Welfare Slaves on the other hand have their basics given to them by the state and they don’t have to work for the basics so their personal human pride is virtually non-existent.
The quickest way to destroy human dignity is to destroy one’s purpose in life by not demanding anything from a person.
This leads to the ghetto culture's pathological emphasis on elaborate displays of, and demands for, "respect" ... and the ghetto culture's murderous response to any offense or slight, real or perceived, no matter how small.
Present day Democrats buy their slaves using taxpayer money.
