Cut.Throat.

I consider welfare politics so I'm putting this is the politics section.

Kaendar informed me that more white people are on welfare than black. He is correct. But I'd like to ask a question. What percentage of all white/black in america are on welfare? This is what i found out:

According to http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_percentage_of_people_in_US_are_on_welfare
http://www.chacha.com/question/what-percentage-of-people-on-welfare-are-white,-black,-or-hispanic

- 29 million people are on welfare
- 39% white: 11,661,000
- 38% black: 11,362,000

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_United_States:
- US population: 313,544,041
- White: 72.4%: 227,005,885
- Black: 12.6%: 39,506,549

Math time!:

Whites: 11.661,000 / 227,005,885 * 100 = 5.13%
Blacks: 11,362,000 / 39,506,549 * 100 = 28.75%

That means the total percentage of all white people in america on welfare is: 5.13%

While the total percentage of all black people in america on welfare is: 28.75%

Sorry but these numbers disturb me (please tell me what I did wrong, because I hope I am wrong somewhere). Discuss! I'm going to bed. I'll check up on this thread in the morning.

SES factors brought about by centuries of a less than perfect union can do that.

melanin correlates with laziness. it has nothing to do with SES factors.

I care not color hungry children are. Feed them !!!! One day all racists assholes will die off.
Nah let 'em die. White and black. Can't feed your family? Make room for someone who can.

And the point of this thread was so I can link to it whenever someone mentions whites on welfare. :lol:

Listen, white or black I think the problem with welfare is it has little requirements. I think if you're getting free housing, free food, then you must required to take a 4 year college degree. It will cost the tax payer a little more but end the cycle. If you cannot maintain a passing grade then then the benefits expire, simple as that. No racism no bias you have to better yourself or the money is cut off. It's killing two birds with one stone, assistance for college for people that can't afford it and a way out of poverty. Once the family is out of poverty, it's more likely their children will succeed and end the cycle.

Feed them to me. Once you pull off the color-coded chewy part, they're all red, and delicious. Never could figure the color-coding ... they all taste the same. cn
