Moe plays a clip of Bob Woodson explaining how "systemic racism" is often administered by middle-class black government employees. Woodson argues that 70 cents of every dollar intended for the poor goes to those who "serve" the poor, creating a cycle of dependency. The hosts link this to "Atlanta leaders" who use troubling demographics to secure funding that never reaches the suffering population.
Civil rights veteran Bob Woodson argues that "systemic racism" is often a cover for a class-based "poverty industry." He notes that $22 trillion has been spent on poverty programs in 50 years, with 70% of funds going to middle-class service providers rather than the poor. Woodson highlights that 60% of college-educated black Americans work for the government, creating a vested interest in maintaining the status quo.
