Why is everything about race?

[Lolo76]

I have to dig a bit.. but about a year ago a black kid in IL got shot by a white cop and the white cop was fired..

We'd need a LOT more details in order to make a judgment call on that one... but I imagine a thorough investigation was conducted, and they fired him for more than "white on black" crime.

I'm in NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM A RACIST.. I get called it a lot though

That's weird... I'm a fairly no-nonsense kind of person, and rarely care about being PC, yet I've never ever been called a racist. Wonder why?? Perhaps you need to re-examine your way of thinking, or at least how you word things, if this is something of which you're frequently accused. I mean, could that many people be that far off base?

but if you've read some of my post you'll understand, j mean I get a measily 900 a month IF I AM LUCKY. And I can't get food stamps.. now my boss gets 1,700 in foodstanps and She works 38.5 hours a week at 10.50 a hour.. yeah...

I haven't read your other posts on this, but does that co-worker have children perchance? Even when I was making less than you I didn't qualify for food stamps, since I am single with no children... so that could be your very simple explanation for this "injustice." I HIGHLY doubt anyone is getting food stamps or welfare simply for being black, if that's what you are suggesting.

If you do a little research on food stamp benefits, one would need to have like 12+ children in order to receive $1700/mo... to give you an idea, Octomom recently qualified for just a little more than that, and she has a total of 14 kids! These are federal standards, btw, so your co-worker is either lying, cheating, or has a brood the size of Octomom. Read this: http://www.cbpp.org/cms/index.cfm?fa=view&id=1269
