That “500 bucks a month, high-five” mentality has long since spread to poor white communities. I grew up in a small town in Michigan, and I remember in 1982 knowing a 15 year old girl who told her friends that her life plan was, at 17, to have a baby and go on ADC (Aid to Dependent Children.) Tammy was her name. And at 17, she did exactly that. And was pleased with herself.
