i think it beats it by a few years, but the story about vietnam vets getting spit on was completely fabricated and spread around as though it actually happened.

It was actually based on a white woman who was doing fraud. In classic GOP fashion they implied she was black to be racist. Now its just a racist dogwhistle. There was a citations needed episode about it way back when.

Immigration has been the scape goat for centuries.

Red Scare hysterics definitely pre-date the welfare queen

probably that or "bleeding heart liberal" which is so old it was in the TV show MASH.

It was the first someone invented a guy to tell "the senile president who believes the last thing he heard" to get made at. The Dollop talked about this in their Regan episodes where he read it in a letter and it just bloomed from there

just a dogwhistle for black ppl

It was based on a real person but then it got blown out of proportion.

The blowing out of that proportion was accomplished with racism.

I'm sure there's people that take """advantage""" of programs knowingly but I don't really give a fuck since banks are allowed to fail on purpose with full knowledge their board comes out richer from government subsidies. Also that phrase was only ever used specifically towards black women to be racist.

So I'm feeling a strong yes.

I think historically masons predates this but I think it is a thing that has simply always been done
