EXACTLY. Blacks are NOT the only people on food stamps why are we the only one getting portrayed on being on food stamps. There is a HUGE group of Blacks (mostly Caribbean/Africans) that are WAY to prideful to even accept anything like that.

Not exactly "Food Stamps" but here is California statistics for the "Calfresh" food subsidy program:

Ethnicity of the CalFresh recipients:
--Hispanic      31%
--Mixed Race 21% 
--White 20%    
--Black 17%
--Other 11%

edit: This whole thing about black people "abusing" social welfare programs is just some BS made by the media. Look at the stats they know what they are doing by making ridiculous statements about blacks and social welfare. And even if it was true what race truley needs social welfare more than blacks? Look how bad this American society has tried to disenfranchise us.  We are still waiting for our Homestead act land...

Question: Do you think that the willingness of the government to provide government assistance, whether it be in the form of child care credits or welfare encourages women to be less willing to work out things with the child's father so that they can raise a child in a 2 parent home.

I feel that govt assistance is not done out of the kindness of the govt.
Its just another way to keep us poor folk down and dependent on them while the wealthy multiply their riches.

Give us just enough to keep us from getting rowdy.

Hispanic people are usually the ones that get their stamps on the 3rd, blow it all by the 6th, and come by the office on the 10th to apply for emergency stamps.
