Free food, babies, housing, money, legal aid, entitlements, and best of all.........no one holding them accountable.
White people on the other hand have to pay for all of these good benefits of spewing babies out like wet watermelon seeds.
The next report I would like to see is the one that shows how much tax is actually paid by what race. I think I already know the answer.
