ok.....do we really think that unwanted pregnancies will stop if we provide free OPTIONAL birth control?  Don't they give condoms away at the clinics? How is that working?

And you did not read mine

  Just like anything else she post, it is because anytime something don't go "pro-black" it must be due to racism.....

Or you can continue to think that the company did not like black people and only wanted to hire whites.

  I'm shocked :wacko:

  Maybe they were trying to hire the MOST qualified and that is how it ended up.   The fact is, we BOTH don't know how many of each race applied.....   So, without that information we can only guess.

  Did you even read the article? It had to do with welfare being harder to get now than 20 years ago. First, I'm not sure I believe that (since we have commercials for food stamps), but we are not talking even talking about that.  We are talking about people abusing the system.....you have to be ON it to ABUSE it......keep up

  Who said anything about punishing?  There you go making crap up.   How is restricting what they purchase punishing?   If you think giving someone food other than steaks, lobster, King Crab and shrimp is punishing them you are part of the problem.   Don't you think that 9-11 BILLION dollars a year could be put to use to help the people that REALLY need it?

  Improper welfare payments, including fraud, are estimated to be about 8.7% of all federal welfare payments made and exceeded $50 billion in fiscal year 2012.    [Hidden Content]     If the fraud rate is only 2%-3%, how much money could it really be costing us?  Well…these low rates would mean that roughly 785,000 to 1.2 Million families are illegally receiving welfare benefits.  At the average rate of $11,500 per year, this is costing the tax payers between $9.0 - $13.5 Billion dollars every year.   [Hidden Content]

  That was just an unfortunate situation.  I can't imagine what in her life was that bad.....Sad

  I agree.....I hope the new board makes the right choices......

  I wonder what percent of folks on wellfare have cable, internet and cell phones?   Apparently we come from a different mindset.....

  there are probably 1000's   How many applied?  Do you know?  How do you know there were not better qualified other races?  You don't know......THAT is your problem.....you are ASSuming.....   You are exactly why racism will always be an issue.  No one on this board has ever said racism does not exist....you are a prime example that is does......All we have said is it is not to the degree that YOU think it is.....most of it is in your head

One thing I DO know.......I sure am glad I don't work for BISD........ :)

  Who knows?   I would guess she got a W2 at the end of the year.....I think those are system generated.....if not, after the first year the IRS would have noticed when she tried to file her income tax and owed from the previous year....   ^^^just guessing^^^

  How many better qualified applicants did they not hire to reach their "so called quota"?   Since you were not involved in the hiring process, you really don't know if their were better qualified blacks than other races do you? It's easy to sit back and scream racism when you don't know the entire situation........

    That is it! If I could not afford to feed me or my family I would not have cable, the internet or a smart phone....

  According to the report Johnson was getting $500.00 for each check he sent to Pete, so it looks like Pete knew.......And I'm sure income tax was filed and there is your paper trail.......

  so, is that about 7 so far?

  I have a lot to learn? Do you think the lone star card should be able to buy shrimp, lobsters, slim jims, cokes, unhealthy foods, etc?   Who said they were living it up? I didn't. I think YOU need to educate yourself in WANTS versus NEEDS....   I WANT an F250 4X4 with big azz tires.........   I have a stock F150 with stock rims and tires.   I WANT a 3500 sq ft house(with a game-room).......mine is a little over 1800......no game-room -_-   People that are on welfare don't NEED lobster or shrimp....   They don't NEED 7 varieties of cookies......   They just need good healthy food......   and if you don't think they are doing this, then it would not matter if it was restricted....because nobody would even notice.....

  Everyone assumes we are talking about one demographic when you state 22" rims. Did you know 38.8% of Wellfare recipients are white, while 39.8% are black? That is not that big of a difference.   I want reform. We could start by food stamps only buying low budget foods. Seafood (with the exception of canned tunafish) should not be included.....steaks should not be included.    I am not for starving anyone.

  Before I call you an outright liar, I will give you a chance to post a link of where this 95% number comes from.......

    Like I said   It appears the song will remain the same to a fairly large group of people  

  So, it will be a never ending cycle?   People that are not on it will never convince people that ARE on it they should get off.....   People that used it will be called hypocrites if they tell others to get off of it.....   It appears the song will remain the same to a fairly large group of people
