Further, during a period of financial hardship a few years ago, my family received SNAP benefits. Several of my friends who had often decried "welfare leeches" were quick to justify my use of that service: "Well, you work hard, you're just working through a rough patch." So it was ok in their view.

Of course, the black single mother with two kids isn't "working through a rough patch." Instead, she's gaming the system, living off the labor of decent, honest Americans.
