Liberals are crazy. I’ve learned to ignore anything they say. I’m not even interested in engaging them in debate any more... it’s like trying to teach history, psychology and economics to a monkey.
You hear this one often...
“2. There are more whites than blacks on welfare
When responding to this, educated people often mention that only percentages matter, not raw numbers. But here’s the real surprise: The basic assertion itself is incorrect and has been since the 1990s welfare reform. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Family Assistance, in 2002 (the last year I found statistics for), 659,296 white families were on welfare versus 782,914 black families. This phenomenon held true even when norming for income: Poor whites were less likely to receive welfare than poor blacks.”
Great to have factual information to counteract these very common liberal myths.

Good list.
Re: #2, I believe that more blacks receive welfare because more blacks were below the poverty line when welfare was handed over to state & federal govt in the sixties and seventies.
