Black Stay-At-Home Moms, Welfare, Public Perception & The Media

    Fact: The majority of Welfare and Food Stamp recipients are white. So why does “welfare mom” connote “black, single mom” and “stay-at-home mom connote “white married mom” in our political and common language? Obviously lots of people, black, white and other, would rather we (black staty-at-home moms) stop justifying our existence and bringing up our differences (i.e. “black” stay-at-home-moms, “black” child prodigy, “black” entrepreneur, etc.) but if we stop bringing it up, ignorance will prevail.”
