WHITES (NOT BLACKS) GET MOST WELFARE

Despite prevailing stereotype, Whites, not Blacks, collect greatest share of public aid dollars


SAY the word "welfare" and immediately the image of the lazy Black wellare queen who breeds for profit surfaces in the minds of those who have come to believe the hideous stereotype. It is a myth that persists despite government figures and authoritative studies showing that Whites overwhelmingly reap the lion's share of the dole.

The Mother who is married to another man, had a child with him. She has my grandson on ACCESS which is basically Medicade. My son has asked her for MONTHS to take my grandson off of ACCESS so he could put him on S-CHIP.

Let's see there are a lot more whites in the US than blacks so it's not a suprise.
