#ManUpMondays

It gets no more pathetic and self illusory than Black men claiming society is using Black women to destroy us.
As if we aren't doing a damn good job of it ourselves.
Right now a Black woman is being dropped off at work in her own car by a LayUp Artist.
Right now Black women riding the train to work outnumber the men doing the same 3-1
Did a Black woman say "drop out of school or I wont be with you...?"
Does she INSIST we get hooked on hard drugs?
Oh, she's too hard and wont listen?
Listen to your expert and spiritually based advice on WHAT exactly?
Too independent?
The sisters are doing what they must financially, emotionally and socially to survive.
While you advance your life by doing .....?
Are YOU part of the solution Brother or just an unpaid, underskilled analyst?

Stationary on Food Stamps?

President Obama did not "cut" Food Stamp benefits.

Four years ago a big part of his ARRA or Stimulus program was a temporary rise in the amount given to those receiving food stamp benefits. The rise was set to expire this past month and it has.
So if anything, Obama had essentially given away extra stamps for several years.

Yet what some of us have found most interesting is that the most vociferous complainers about the cuts are those who seem to have moved forward the least in their lives.

Although there are many valid reasons, including those having gone back to school , people with life changing situations they havent fully adjusted to including divorce etc, the real question isn't why are stamps being cut but why, exactly are you STILL receiving stamps four years later?

Just a question....
