At one time they were giving out 40 acres and a mule. Today it's gov assistance and local/city gov jobs. 

Some may argue against this but the above is reality because the system (feds/state politicians) has chosen this (easy, for them) path in "righting" (prob has more to do with pacifying) the wrongs that were previously done instead of aiding the AA community in becoming independent and self sufficient by emulating other succesful minority communities.

I don't have a problem with assistance just he they abuse it..espcially with food stamps! I used to work at a grocery store and I swear people with food stamps didn't even get real food..basket full of chips,candy snacks, and not one real "food item" in the basket...now I work at sams club s they come in and buy baskets full of candy bars and sodas just to resell it..

EBT and food stamps are the same thing right?

Anyway, when I worked with Walgreens, majority of EBT users were Whites and Blacks...Whites more than blacks.

People who have ill feelings towards African Americans who use food stamps are really ignorant. Do you think they choose to be in that situation where they are so poor that they need to rely on food stamps? People should really be mad at the history of past racial injustice and present racism that white people profit from. If we didn't have discrimination in employment, housing, education in the past, there would be more better off Black families today. Even today Blacks are disadvantaged in those areas, but people choose not to notice that.

Exactly, and this is just California... Let's not even get into the states where the black population is less than 5%.

what kind of statement is that?

As i've said before, the only true way to analyze the use is as a % of total population ... saying that any race has a low assistance % as compared to other races without taking into account the population is absolutely useless ...

You guys have to realize that African American's are still a minortiy in the population compared to whites. So in California if 20% of welfare recepients are white and 17% are black you have to look at the percentage of the population represented. I don't know about in Cali, but I think a majority of states African American's are still a minority of the population, meaning more whites than blacks.

Doesn't mean only AA's use food stamps, cause tons of white people use them.

As for the conversation about getting social assistance and having nice things like LV clothes, iPhones,cars, etc. I see it like this, if you have money to afford these "luxary" items yet need assistance to afford the "neccessary" items in life then you have your priorities backwards. You can claim all you want that well they will have the Jordans for life and it will be the only nice thing they have, that is there fault and no one elses. You put food on the table and a roof over your head over Jordans and iPhones. The money going towards Jordans and iPhones can be saved so eventually you can get out the circumstances one is in. And I know people will come back with the well the price of Jordan's is minimal and not buying those shoes will not allow someone to get of the hood, this is somewhat true, but its the pricipal. If you don't buy the Jordans and save the $200 and then you say screw it won't but the iPhone either thats another $200 plus the money saved not having the data plan, I mean it all adds up.
