In the state of Michigan it's "Becky-Sue" that has a class action lawsuit against the state of Michigan regarding this case. Although testing all persons would be ideal, the problem is that welfare has been stereotyped solely with the black community and it is also assumed that Black/Hispanic mothers on welfare produce cracked out kids. The fact is more than 60% of people on welfare or drug addiction is people of Anglo-Saxon decent. Because we (Blacks)make up less than 25% of the American population, cases involving recipients of welfare is higher. This also is a prelude to another debate. If persons,particularly persons of A/A decent, are denied access to assistance then the issue of reparations comes into play. Since it is being said that African Americans deserve no financial disbursements the neglection of services primarily based on (random)drug testing can incite the ongoing debate of reparations. I mention this only because here, in the state of Michigan, reparations and drug testing for welfare recipients has been synonomous.
