What difference does it make what color a person is??? If you commit a crime you should be held accountable. I was an unwed mom who got a job & took care of my child, I never dreamed of asking the state to raise my child, I just assumed that would be my responsibility. When oh when will we stop rewarding bad behavior!!!!!

I knew one person who were black and he decided that he didn’t want to live in the situation he only knew as a child and he got himself out that situation and now makes excellent money.
