Just curious: Why are you assuming the person taking the picture is a "Homeless person receiving a government funded meal"?

Is it because the man was black?

It could have been just an ordinary working citizen who choose to take a picture of the First Lady doing a charitable act. It may have been one of the employees of the shelter for all we know.

Just wondering...

yeah... its cause he's black. :doh:

moron.

the picture (captions of which i did not author) serves two purposes

1. to inject a bit of humor

2. to point out that YES - the system is abused.

take it or leave it.

No need for personal attacks.

And you didnt really answer the question, unless I missed something; what proof is there that this person wasnt a volunteer?

GoldenRivet 06-16-09 01:27 PM

No Need for personal attacks understood.

but thats the core defense - call the other guy a racist OR resort to the "is it cause he is black?" card.

its ridiculous, before long it will be illegal to be a white guy :haha:

According to brief research... The LA Times was first to open up on this "story"... perhaps the LA Times reporter who balked about it would know?

i dont pretend to know anything about this man or his circumstances... but it makes for a great "priceless" ad
