Whites make up slightly more than a third of welfare recipients.
Blacks make up slightly less than a third.
There are more than six times as many white people as black people in the USA.
In other words, blacks are six times as likely as whites to be on public assistance.
If whites sought public assistance in the same ratio as blacks, then white people should make up 80% of welfare recipients, not 35%.
Yes, and blacks on the whole have a higher % of people incarcerated than whites, they commit the highest % of crimes, have higher % of poverty and the list goes on....
My point was that since there are plenty of white folk on welfare it doesn't mean that being black is the problem. The system that keeps people needing government assistance in order to live day to day.
