The article discusses the welfare reform in the U.S., and the statement of Ronald Reagan, former Governor of California and Republican presidential candidate in 1976, about African American female welfare recipients, called welfare queen. Topics include the increase of poverty in 1996 due to the welfare reform bill, labeling of efforts toward welfare reform as a tug-of-war between dog-whistle politics and the politics of respectability, and the National Welfare Rights Organization (NWRO).
