There is one thing that you overlooked in regards to making it harder for people who need assistance to get it, and that is the crime rate will increase. Do you really think that people will just quit eating if there is no assistance? They will do anything and everything in order to feed their families and themselves. Perhaps we as a group should protest those same people who are eating and living comfortably away from the reality of proverty to either provide employment for those who need it or shut the hell up!

Doing a sampling of 1000 people will yield the same results as doing a sampling of 1,000,000 people. Numbers will be different but the % will be the same -/+.
I would say that Blacks get arrested far more than non-Hispanic Whites, and Hispanics. Blacks are more likely to be arrested because they are more likely to be suspected. I'm not denying that there is alot of crime being committed by Black individuals. However, I would also say that the likelihood of a Black man get caught for a crime is much higher because Black people are more likely to be pulled over, more likely to be searched.

When it comes to crime and arrests, it is important to break it down in details.

Why do you think blacks are "suspected more"?

I heard my neighbors having a talk like this before. As soon as I made my presence known, they "hushed".

I can only shake my head in amazement. One thing you'll never hear all of the "experts" talk about is all of the advantages whites in America have had and continue to have. They'll deny this fact until they go to their graves.

It's easier to rebuke blacks. It keeps them from looking in the mirror.

Because there is a shipload of money involved?

Blacks have been treated as such for a very long time, for years. This dates back to the old days.

Racism perhaps?

Why else would a police officer take time to frisk and harrass a blackman in a 5k suit?

I didn't say it would be harder. It's easy. Just name the daddy. For the vast majority that should be easy. For the rest they can provide a list of possible candidates.

I worked as a caseworker for 5 years and inorder to get cash assistance the woman has to name the father of her child, so what you said is already a rule, at least in Pa.

LOL, sorry, why don't you just provide jobs?
If I was in a position to hire people instead of complaining about how many that are on assistance I would in a heartbeat!

If a business was in the position to hire someone they would also.
