The "welfare queen" trope has so thoroughly pervaded white America, that white scammers and criminals not only get a pass, but are also completely overlooked, in their dealings. The wealthy, white California woman whose theft ring stole over $8 million in high-end cosmetics was overlooked because rich white people are presumed to be rich by legitimate means. (Right, Donald?)

White drug dealers got away with operating a large cocaine operation in downtown Boston, Massachusetts for more than two years because well-dressed white office workers were its customers. White people regularly entering and exiting a building are "business." Black people regularly entering and exiting a building are a criminal enterprise.

Welfare and drug crimes have a "Black Face," but their hands and bodies are often white. Ronald Reagan's ghost is still doing its workkk.
