ALLEGEDLY whites make up the greatest percent of food stamp recipients. So why is it that it is the whites who object to increasing them?

Allegedly.

    The term "food stamps" was seen as being derogatory, so it was replaced by the more PC term "SNAP" (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program).  Also they no longer issue stamps, but a reloadable card (which is so much easier on stores).

    A common notion is that anyone who gets government assistance is a loser.  They're either lazy bums who refuse to work (and birth control is against their "religion"), or they're just worthless scum with nothing to contribute to society.  This sounds harsh and most people won't say it aloud, but it's a very prevalent concept.  While "SNAP" was originally meant as a temporary way to help people, many have come to rely on it as their main source of food money.    Good paying jobs require education and most minorities don't have an education.  Decent paying jobs are also scarce in many areas of the country, and where they exist the cost of living (rent and such) is astronomical.  Since it's nearly impossible to raise a family on minimum wage, many have come to rely on SNAP (and food banks) just to get by.

    Well m'dear among "some" it is commonplace to kick people when they are down. Attack insult derogate denigrate mock ridicule. It's just what they do and it flows so easily for them. The question is...WHY are some folks so cruel cold heartless and inhumane? Born or nurtured to be what they are by parents or whomevers it is a sad spectacle to watch being played and replayed and replayed. My wish is that they become what they mock. Shoe on the other foot as it were. Who seeks being a food stamp recipient? Who wants to be homeless or jobless? Sometimes people find themselves in circumstances they never imagine would happen to them. It is happening with those who mocked vaccines. They get COVID and die.On their deathbed they say they wish they had gotten the vaccine. Too little too late! Thank you for you reply and Happy Sunday to thee and thine Shuhak! :)

    I was kind of mocking them (they have to be PC and all).

    It's easy to deride someone when you haven't been in their shoes (we all tend to do that to some degree).  While a few regret their decision not to vaccinate, most are so contemptuous that their last breath is used to spurn the vaccine.
