A Mississippi state lawmaker is now admitting he opposed putting more money into elementary schools because he came from a town where “all the blacks are getting food stamps and what I call ‘welfare crazy checks.’ They don’t work.”
In an interview with The Clarion-Ledger, Republican state Rep. Gene Alday says he doesn’t see the value in increasing funding to improve elementary school reading scores. Alday implied that increasing education funding for children in black families would be an exercise in futility.

He also told the newspaper that when he was mayor of Walls, Mississippi, trips to the emergency room had taken a long time due to his black constituents. “I laid in there for hours because they (blacks) were in there being treated for gunshots.”
