yeah, actually I do

there is a clear delineation between the ones on the dole and the ones who wouldn’t consider it

and of the same race

it is a class distinction

the ones not on the dole disdain those on the dole

That's certainly not the case with the sets that I know and interact with. They don't even consider free lunches. It's below their threshold of consiousness, like the air they breath.

I see you live in Kansas.

Around here, the families that are NOT on foodstamps in that particular demographic are the ones ridiculed. For the same reason the one kid at the party is ridiculed for not taking a drag off the doobie.

Maybe you’re thinking 40 years ago?

The ones under 40 see NO stigma in food stamps. None. The largess is how they fund other things they really want. Like the smart phones, new model cars and bling and expensive clothes/manicures/extensions.
