Racism Div (sadly subsection)

Here in South Dakota, we don't have an overabundance of black people. Our people of color are predominately the Native Americans from which we went out of our way to get rid of in so many continuing ways.
Mrs Bear recently received this from a long-time acquaintance:

Sociology 101

A young black kid asks his mother, "Mama, what is Socialism and what is Racism?"

"Well, Child… Socialism is when the white folks work every day so we can get all our governmental entitlement stuff for free.

You know… like our free cell phones for each family member, rent subsidy, food stamps, EBT, WIC, free school breakfast, lunch, and in
some places supper, free healthcare, utility subsidy, and on and on… you know, that's Socialism."

"But, Mama, don't the white people get pi--ed off about that?"

"Sure they do, Honey. That's called Racism."

(Never was it more simply explained.)

My wife (and I, when informed) was shocked, hurt and disgusted.
Her reply to the sender:

                          I am appalled that you sent me this horrid, racist story.

                           Surely you do not condone such hateful nonsense. 

                           It is clearly something espoused by white supremacists,

                           by the Ku Klux Klan

                           Seriously, do you really believe that “white folks” work to support 

                           programs for “black folk”.

                           Surely there is nothing Christian in what you have emailed:

                            it only fuels hatred and racism. 

                            I am sick at heart that a friend of mine would propagate such hateful rhetoric.

                            Please remove my name from your list of “forwards”.

I don't know what else I can say about this blatant, racist piece of shit (I won't deign to give the sender that much dignity), We've known the sender for years and have always valued her friendship despite her politics.You can probably  imagine what she thinks of the thug occupying the the Article II office and which political party she supports.

Needless to say, she's no longer welcome in our home.

We have a problem here in South Dakota ...... and it ain't Meth (even though "We're on it").
