don't think it matters what color Moonglow is...I've known people on welfare all my life and most of them were white.
Yeah, a disproportionate amount of blacks are on welfare but the majority of people on welfare are still white, although, I'm not sure that would hold if you took the Russian out of the mix. When my brother in law came here from Canada, my parents had to sponsor him and promise my sister and he wouldn't go on welfare for "x" number of years (I can't remember the exact number) yet now we have immigrants coming into our country and going on welfare the next day, I don't get it.
There is something wrong with our immigration policy. Americans have reduced their birthrate to less than replacement value, if our government hadn't increased the number of immigrants in this country, by the law of supply and demand the lowest paid workers in this country would be making a lot more money by now as there would be fewer people available to do those low skilled jobs.

Sheila, you've got it going on, Gerl!
Didn't know that about the Russians; but, my point is, most of the Caucasians I know who are on "food stamps" or Medicaid are working poor, and trying very hard to survive, while maintaining their dignity. They, statistically, are on the public dole for much shorter periods of time than Negroes. Negroes seem to see it not just as a way of life, but as an ENTITLEMENT!
Some states have a credit card sort of deal instead of the old food stamps with which they can buy soda, cigarettes, alcohol, potato chips, and even get a little cash. An outrage to a person who believes in teaching a person to fish rather than giving him a credit card, but the well is running dry so that won't be happening much longer.
I don't think you know many blacks...or whites on welfare. The one's I've known, some of them, of both colors are chronic welfare abusers.
