Nigel Parsons	BS: Black Lives Matter - change on the way? (448* d)	RE: BS: Black Lives Matter - change on the way?	04 Sep 20
From: Donuel - PM Date: 01 Sep 20 - 06:49 AM Looking back for decades there were laws passed that would ban black women from welfare if they co habitated with a male who could potentially work. This resulted in banning many fathers from the household and leaving children without fathers. I don't know how it works in US, but in UK only one member of a 'household' can make a claim for that household. If there's a man living there then (historically) it was the man who made the claim. If a woman (with or without children) wants to claim benefits she needs to confirm that there is not a man capable of working living in the same household. And this would be the same irrespective of the colour of the woman. Isn't that also the case in the US?
