Yes, certainly, like many urban cities. There are millions more in Africa, and Obama has done as much for them as he's done for blacks in America - virtually nothing.

If truth be told, most of the people on entitlement are white. It is simply because of the numbers and percentages. To make the entitlement argument about race is a diversion from the real problem - too many people here want to live off of others who do work and their numbers are almost as large now. It is unsustainable, whether they are black, brown, yellow, red or white.
That's false. The TANF breakdown by race/ethnicity by the federal government has it being 31.8% white, 38.0% black, and 24.8% Hispanic. The false meme of "most welfare recipients are white" comes from counting Hispanic as white.
