Just to add to this, in 1968, I heard people in the US (yes, I was in
the US in 1968, at the same time as the Democratic convention, but not
AT said convention) claim that they knew of black families who lived
in a badly run down part of Columbus Ohio (where I was) but who drove
spanking new Cadillacs to the welfare office. Of course, when asked
to point out said families, they claimed to have heard it from
friends. Urban legends are hard to kill...

I suspect Re-again just updated it from "coloured" to "welfare" to
suit his purposes.

But...true story, my cousin had a friend who combed her hair into a
beehive and bees made a nest in it...I swear it's true! ;-)
