[Arleen]

I am a white girl who has lots of black friends – the most loving and caring people, just like my white friends. I know what Bill is talking about, and I have thought about it myself while driving down Joy Road or Livernois and seeing all this stuuf as I go by. You will always see people with the BEST of cars, BEST of clothes and BEST of jewelry, and you always wonder where it comes from. Some do work at the Big Three, but a lot only work on ‘drug calls’ at night. But I have to say, it’s not only blacks; whites do it, too. I have three white friends who make their trips to Detroit to pick up some goods and bring it on back into Howell to sell. So if we say “Damn those blacks,” we can also say “Damn those whites.” Everyone lives off of everyone else, and if there is nothing interesting in one’s life, then they have to find something else to look for to talk about. I get upset because nine times out of 10, the man on the corner selling drugs was just standing in the welfare line waiting for food stamps, and there is a sign for McDonalds hiring for $8-$9 per hour. Now that p***es me off. I don’t like lazy people, but what are you going to do?

The only good thing about Michigan now is that those who are welfare now have to take random drug tests, and if they are caught, they lose their benefits. Unfortunately I think we will see more homeless people, but it might make them think a little more next time (in three years, when they can reapply) to not mess up.
