What Percentage of BLM Protestors Know What They're Protesting?

2.  Single black mothers did not plan and aspire to be welfare queens.  That is another complete lie.

3.  The payments to single mothers were the same for both white women and African Americans.  It just happened that black men were so far behind white men in average wages that they were not as able to support children as white men.

You can't blame a social program for creating poverty when the poverty was there before the social program.  The fact is that these social programs have greatly improved the economic condition of many African Americans.  They moved out of poverty at a much higher rate than poor white people from 1940 through 1970.  But since the 70's middle class wages have been stagnate for both blacks and whites.

I wonder what Bfine would say about the "intent and motivation" of Mike M's comments?

1. What ever he felt doesn't really matter, he signed it as part of his War on Poverty bill. If he was strongly against it, then he should've left it out.

2. *sighs, Of course not in the beginning. AS of today, we have had several generations of families living off of Welfare. Do you deny that?

3. Yes it was the same payments to all races, but the white race didn't have the majority of it's population living in poverty already (and yes, there is White Welfare Queens as well). Letting the government pay you was much more reliable than getting child support from a man with an education level no higher than High School/GED. Also with the way the bill was written, it penalized you if you got married vs remained single.

The intentions were good in the beginning, but again, humans are greedy and will always find a way to abuse it.
