Incorrect. To receive any sort of benefits you could not have a man living with you in the home, at the time. Matter of fact, social workers would visit your home just to confirm you didn't; as well as making sure you had no made extravagant purchases. Black women did not kick Black men out of the home to receive benefits. Due to the racial, social, and political structure of a system preventing Black men to be providers of their families what the system provided was often times more than what Black men could provide for their families, and that same system continues to play out in 2017.

That's always the case, and when it's not its some cornball thats projected to the forefront to say what they wanna hear.
