EBT System Down Nation Wide

[Janelle2002 3,865]

The point of the video and what Janelle is trying to say is welfare isn't strictly a black issue. When politicians say welfare, they are pointing at black people in general, ignoring the fact that there are plenty of white folks on it too. And they abuse the system just the same.

Their conversation also points out blacks are not the biggest recipients of welfare nor AA.

[Janelle2002 3,865]

I don't get what the point of your video is?

Politicians don't have the luxury of speaking honest on a whole host of issues, anything which negative towards black in anyway is a no-no.

What he should have said was

-In the first place I did not say "Black Americans" I rarely use that term anyway.

-IN the second place African Americans have been left behind in this economy, at 13% of the population they depend on Food Stamps at much higher rates than the average American..... even though in total numbers Whites have more people using Food stamps.

-This country was known for it's industriousness around the word, we out produced everyone and now too many of our people are languishing on the public dole, people of every color and I want to open up opportunities to turn that around, to encourage the dignity of work and self sufficiancy. I'm not interested in giving out cell phones and false hope Bill, thats just not something I see as good for America or the individual.

Bottom line is, divide and conquer has been used by our government for many years. They know people are eager to believe all blacks are on food stamps and we are abusing AA and we aren't qualified. The saddest thing is the suckers who believe it.

For example, the first blacks who came to America were not slaves. They were indentured servants as well as some Britains and Irish. After the 7 year term was completed, you were given your own servants and land. Once things improved in Europe and people stopped wanting to move to the"New World," they came up with the idea of "eternal servitude." But the was a problem, too many blacks and whites had gotten comfy with eachother. First thing, they banned all white women from marrying black men. Why the hell was this law needed this if it wasn't happening?

Then they still had the problem of the black women white males, so they changed the laws so that any child born from a woman who was a slave, the child would also be a slave. Why make this rule? If the child was born of a black man and black woman the child would automatically be a slave yes?

Things kept changing through the years. Then there was Darwin, " I have proof that blacks are genetically stupid." If people thought that they wouldn't purposely marry a person they feel is less intelligent than they are.

Now it has graduated to blacks are dumb, lazy, on welfare, uneducated, all same tactics different time.

Why would they need laws banning interracial marriages if no one from opposite races wanted to be married. And do you know who the first person was to fight against this? A white man who ran away with this black lover.

I was just in the local supermarket and they kept announcing the EBT system was down nationwide.

Now they are getting serious about saving money

or

The Obama care developers are now running the EBT system

I will give you 10-1 Obama will be along shortly to blame it on the shut down

Talk about rallying his base

Genuis

Ted Cruz will propose that all grocery stores are closed and that all EBT cards be rendered invalid, so he can outsource redoing the same system again to his friends...

I agree it is not a Black issue and should not be framed like that, unless one is referencing what it can do to a community.

Blacks have the unique experience (not their fault) of having huge areas disintegrate under the care of Gov't.

All the White people addicted to the Gov't milk are spread out and so the impact is not so stark.

It's framed like that since Regan said it back in the 70's. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welfare_queen

The difference is government for blacks is not the same as it is for whites.

You make everything about race yourself. Did you even read the article?

Political scientist Franklin Gilliam has theorized that the welfare queen stereotype has its roots in both race and gender:

"While poor women of all races get blamed for their impoverished condition, African-American women commit the most egregious violations of American values. This story line taps into stereotypes about both women (uncontrolled sexuality) and African-Americans (laziness)."^[3]

The media's image of poverty shifted from focusing on the plight of white Appalachian farmers and on the factory closings in the 1960s to focusing on a more racially divisive and negative image of poor blacks in urban areas. All this, according to political scientist Martin Gilens, led to the public dramatically overestimating the percentage of African-Americans in poverty.^[11] By 1973 in magazine pictures depicting the welfare recipients, 75% featured African Americans even though they made 35% of welfare recipients and only 12.8% of the US population.^[11]

From the 1970s onwards, women became the predominant face of poverty.^[1][3] A 1999 study by Franklin Gilliam examined people's attitudes on race, gender, and the media. The experiment showed an 11 minute news clip, with a welfare story embedded at some point in the clip, to two groups of participants. Each story on welfare had a different recipient — one was a white woman and the other was a black woman. The results showed that people were extremely accurate in their recall of the race and gender of the black female welfare recipient in comparison to those who saw the story with the white female welfare recipient. This outcome confirmed that this unbalanced narrative of gender and race had become a standard cultural bias and that Americans often made implicit associations

apparently you overlooked the linked site in your zest to downplay it.

Their conversation also points out blacks are not the biggest recipients of welfare nor AA.

Which just ain't so Sorry

Blacks are about 13% of the population and are almost 40% of total welfare recipients. That makes them almost 300% over represented

Whites make up 73+% of the population and represent about 38% of the population..Almost 100% under represented

Yes I know white women benefit the most from AA. Poverty pimps have been repeating that lie for darn near 30 years now. It gets the base fired up and clouds just how bad you are being manipulated by Big money democratic leaders and so called civil rights leaders.

Ted Cruz will propose that all grocery stores are closed and that all EBT cards be rendered invalid, so he can outsource redoing the same system again to his friends...

Maybe he should call Obama. I hear he can recommend a jam up IT company

Oddly enough in the deep south in the days of old. when someone would call someone lazy, they would say " They are lazy as a bunch of N******". Also at the end of a particularly hard days work, that was especially tiring, they would say," I am beat, I worked hard as a N*****" today."

At an early age it dawned on me..How could both be true.

Kind of like the study in the link I posted about blacks being overestimated in poverty, like welfare.

We all have theories, when the talking was all done he had no substance to build on.

Unlike danno which bases his ####### on actual facts.

Looks like a fact to me.
