Sorry! You must have misunderstood the article I didn't read anything about asking for money or pay back for something that happened back in the 1800's. Did you? And to be perfectly honest I am a strong black woman. I work full time Monday - Friday and I'm a single parent to my 2 boys. I don't ask for a hand out from anybody, DSS, mom, dad boyfriend, baby daddy etc. This is 2008 so do go around thinking everybody is out for a hand out. I work for my money just like you do!
