His figures regarding welfare are completely wrong. He seems to think the percentages he cites are per capita but they’re not. Those are absolute percentages of the total number of people on welfare. Whites are about 39 percent and blacks are about 40 percent. Which means his claim that whites on welfare greatly outnumber blacks on welfare in absolute numbers is false. And when you look at it on a per capita basis, blacks are several times more likely than whites to be on welfare.
