Being poor and having been raised poor, I find that going hungry and cold affected all my neighbors equally here on the east side of Buffalo.

I gather it is different where you are from, but here we tend to stick together and help each other out to survive or less of us would. To us it's us against suburban creeps like you and the wealthy elite that are actively trying to kill us, not us against ourselves because some are white, some are black and so many other groups it would take a paragraph to list them all.

the reality, for the reasons you mention.)

they earned it some how. And blacks did not deserve it. IDK...

Here we get the same shit, lazy white trash scum is our affectionate nick name. In the south perhaps whites in need of assistance are not derided and shamed, but here, we are the walking scum.

It is more a suburbanite problem than a race problem here, black and white SUV driving creeps look down on us and mumble nasty shit equally when we buy food with EBT at he store, they appear to agree we all suck. Luckily we don't hate each other or as I said, we'd all be doing much worse because no one but are neighbors would ever help us.

I still get the impression the poster hates me for no other reason than I am white poor scum that shouldn't be getting any of his SUV driving tax money. A Common thing I am used to that does not make me feel the shame it is intended to make me feel, it only pisses me off like poor hatred always pisses me off.

It's a class thing, and that poster thinks I am less a human because I am "white trash".

that makes me feel sad. I hope that's not the case.

Loved her and watched her shows all the time and glad to see she doesn't seem to be part of the entitled 1%.

And she writes about it in her memoir "One More Time".

Never had a bed of her own until she moved to NYC in 1954. Was raised by her grandmother, "Nanny". She slept on the couch in a one room apartment (her mother lived down the hall) on the corner of Yucca and Wilcox in the middle of Hollywood, CA.

One block north of Hollywood Blvd. "...but a million miles from 'Hollywood'."

Edit to add: They were on "relief" in both San Antonio, TX and once they moved to Hollywood.

Where did you get your information?

It's only ten seconds long, yet expresses the intellectual core of Republicanism:

Both anonymous and not. It was help from a total stranger, a very successful businessman in southern CA, who gave her $1000 to get to NYC in 1954. Under these stipulations.

1. The money be used for starting her career in NYC
2. She pay it back no interest (if successful) in 5 years. Paid him back 5 years to the day.
3. She help others later on
4. She never reveal the name of the donor.

60 years later, she's met all those stipulations. She still helps out people starting out in show business and has many scholarships set up all over the country.

And she's never revealed the name of the businessman who wrote her that check.

Edit to add: she's a registered Democrat. Has been for many years.

"... I've been on food stamps and welfare. Anybody help me out? No!" said Craig T. Nelson.

What do you call food stamps and welfare? I guess in his world, this is nobody helping him out,
instead of literally, EVERYONE helping him out.

... "enforced Christianity"!!

Can a Good Samaritan be everywhere there's a person in need? No... and that's why we have a welfare system! It codifies and regulates a system of charity so that we can all depend on the kindness of strangers, even as we are also the strangers on whom others occasionally depend.

If Craig T. Nelson doesn't appreciate the help his fellow men gave him via food stamps and welfare, then he needs to take it up with the Lord.

The search is ongoing. They even built the super-collider, and thought they were close when they had something which resembled a black hole, but it was just a fly squashed on the picture, not actual Rethug intelligence.

A house built by corrupt rightwing developers

Down to Earth. And she never forgot where she came from.

Good on her.

Or sympathized with their ideas.

I have no clue either way.

Carol could easily cross the fine line between making you laugh a deep, hearty laugh at the characters she played while a moment later making you want to cry in sympathy with them.

So much of today's "humor" is built around ridiculing other people from an attitude of superiority. Carol's humor was always grounded in our shared, fragile humanity.

I miss her humor.

In comparison to much of today's "humor", her shows seem like
nobel-prize-winning masterpieces.

love her earthiness.

...was going to be torn down to expand a barbecue joint's parking lot. Henry Cisneros bought it and moved it a few blocks away to restore and use as office space. It's a nice old place with gingerbread and a big wrap-around porch where Carol used to roller skate.

I once heard that a modest home with a lot of gingerbread probably had been built by a carpenter as a home for him and his family.
