355. Who are the real welfare queens? Black women or the Trump administration?
Sunday, 9 November, 2025

The Black women, once again, has been made the face of the #snapbenefits debate, even though more White people are using #snap than Black people. This is not new. In this video, I break down the history of the welfare queen and share my thoughts about who the real welfare queens are. I discuss this in my book "Lies About Black People" and will be posting an article about this on my Iinkedin and substack pages so check them out too! #lindataylor #welfare #welfare #welfarequeen #trump #trumpnews #news #blackwomen #marthamiller #usaid linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/omekongo/ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/omekongo.bsky.social NPR article: https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2013/12/20/255819681/the-truth-behind-the-lies-of-the-original-welfare-queen Learn more about your ad choices.
