Robert, while your ideas are good you are applying them to a whole. Like saying
"Dont assume for a minute you understand what its like to live in a black persons shoes, its far tougher then we could imagine."
You really think that Micheal Jordan or Shaq has it hard? The ones that have it hard, have it hard because they are to lazy to change the situation they have gotten into. A single mother of 3 could either work double shifts at a job and actually TRY to get somewhere, or admit defeat and live on welfare. The sad truth is that this is what most "minorities" have done. Given up on the idea of actually working hard for shit you want. Sure there are people who have it hard and actually try to fix it. That is where the welfare comes in handy. But all of the goverments programs that are actually great when you need them but most are abused by people think they are to good to actually work. Dont get me wrong not everyone here abuses stuff like Welfare or WIC or medicaid. But, one day while shopping at Wal-Mart after my 10 hour shift, welding, in 95 degree weather I see a guy use a food stamp card then we follow him out and he hops into a fucking BMW X3 something kicks you in the face and tells you that it aint right. Or when my fiancee got denied Medicaid because I made 10$ an hour and in no way could we pay for our son to be born. Then in comes a "minorty" with 4 kids and no questions asked gets medicaid cause his dumb ass wife is pregnant again.
