Republican-Heavy Counties Eat Up Most Food-Stamp Growth

Quote from Daxtrader:

You have to be a delusional partisan hack to not know that majority of black people receive welfare in this country. Look up the numbers. And 99% voted democrat.

More "whites" than "blacks" get social assistance.

Do you have a breakdown on that claim? Not that I think you are wrong, as the recent economic downturn has seen more white people using food stamps. Where will the money come from? Fed buying it's own debt? Sounds like the end of the welfare state as we know it.

We actually have a significant number of delusional partisan hacks in this forum.

He's right, but he and his elk fail to consider the percentage of whites receiving welfare vs the percentage of blacks. There are simply more whites to begin with.

That sounds shocking if you are stupid enough to believe that there are an equal amount of whites & blacks in this country. The fact is, there are 1/4 of a BILLION whites in this country and a mere 40 million blacks.

If you had an equal population of blacks & whites then the numbers would be for every 1 white person on food stamps, there are 4 black people on food stamps.

Is it the rate of social assistance usage by race you're concerned about, i.e. finger pointing, or the problem of social assistance usage?

Its the mentality of the specific demographics I'm concerned about.
