You have hearsay about one person, and generalize that across 1) an entire race and 2) all of America.

Downvoting you isn't even about political correctness for me. It's that your group size is too small to lead to any sort of substantive discussion.

There are a lot of people that abuse these systems, and a lot of honest people that don't. Maybe you should find some real data before jumping to conclusions?

>If implemented, it will surely be a disaster in America (DOA - Dead on Arrival), considering how well African Americans have worked and abused the Food Stamps system.

Oh, couldn't be bothered to read the number breakdown AND racist to boot.

What do you know about "how well African Americans have worked and abused the Food Stamps system" apart from what some biased media tell you and/or a few anecdotal stories?

Generalizing second-hand anecdotes from somebody who obviously has an axe to grind into racist fantasies is not a very good way to determine "the ground reality."
