Just unbelievable.
Yep - ain’t that something!
Among the poorest of the poor--single mothers, living below the poverty line with minor children to support 39.7 percent of AFDC clients are Black single mothers and 38.1 percent are White women with children. Food stamp recipients are 37.2 percent Black and 46.2 percent White. Medicaid benefits are paid to 27.5 percent Black recipients compared to 48.5 percent White clients.
Although the numbers show that Whites get the biggest chunk of public aid dollars, welfare critics still charge that Blacks shouldn't collect 33 percent of welfare benefits when they only make up 12 percent of the general population. They say the imbalance proves their case that Blacks are too busy complaining and blaming racism for their plight to look for a job.
that is just the single moms with kids part of the picture but at that rate it appears that blacks use these programs at loosely 3X the rate and whites at loosely half the rate ...and I bet since the Urban League is agenda driven they included Hispanics with Whites. Hence proportionately, black single moms use welfare roughly @ 6 times the frequency as whites.
They should have stopped Civil Rights legislation immediately after restoring it. This is a direct result of that.
My daughter said she almost cracked up at a restaurant in N.O. when she saw the waitress's nametag: Shaniqua.
She didn't think there were actually people named that.
What’s the sign read at the NAACP??
There was a woman that a friend of mine treated in the ER at St. Barnabas in the Bronx with the name “Female”, pronounced, “Fuh-Mal-E.”
I’m white, and even though most welfare recipients are also white. I’m not offended. Thanks for your concern.
The same people who insist that “Chimpy McHitler” has taken away their free speech rights are the first ones who try to shut down the speech of those they disagree with.
She should join the marines and then become a gangster disciple.
i say that the woman in the car is racist... she’s the one who made assumptions...
i was surprised when i met a white woman at my church named Shaniqua... and she was in her late 30's... her parents were white, too... i didn't have the nerve to ask her about her name...
That woman was kind of cute though.
Not one of the signs contained any mention of race. Only racists view the world through race-colored glasses.
My favorite was
We pass drug tests for paychecks, what about welfare checks?

I guess if the shoe fits, b&^ch.
I saw that, LOVED it!
