"Don't feed the animals", say the signs in national forests and wildlife refuges. If you make people (or animals) dependent on things they didn't earn, you weaken them. As I tried to warn in my much longer comment further up, this can also be passed on civilizationally and generationally, where people get used to what they have, and perpetually want for more.
Not everyone is equal. Difference necessarily means people are unequal. You can't have both, even though modern political thought says we're all the same, that we're blank slates (tabula rasa), and all our actions are due to environmental factors. It's objectively false. If it was true, men and women would be equal, and biological differences would only arise due to "socio-economic" factors. The environment does play a factor, but not as much as other variables.
In any case, I'd venture a safe guess that this is probably why many black Africans hate African-Americans. Black Africans don't have (or didn't come from a place that had) all the welfare programs, and weren't spoiled like blacks are here, so they see them as spoiled welfare queens purely dependent upon government gibs. Using welfare used to be associated with societal shame, as a means to reduce its use unless you absolutely needed it for an emergency. But now? It's practically celebrated in many non-white communities. They brag about how much welfare they get, and brag about cheating the system. They take out of the system far, far more than they ever put back in. They're hypocrites, expecting other people to treat them better than they treat them in return, expecting other people to maintain civilization that they themselves drag down, expecting other people to work so they can be a wallow in slothful behavior, stealing the altruism and efforts of better people.
Welfare is meant to be for those truly in need, where one's neighbors, community, and people truly love one another, and help and provide for one another when in need. Welfare, as with all modern things the government has taken control of, has corrupted this naturally healthy communal outlet for help, and twisted it to maintain the dregs of society, people that don't deserve it, and perpetually take advantage of it. Past nations had a great method for dealing with such people: banishment. These people are actively taking advantage of us, actively harming us, and don't share our values or can maintain our systems. At minimum, the most merciful punishment they deserve is deportation, preferably to a nation where they demographically belong to.
