Whites make up 72% of the US population. Blacks make up 13% of the population but disproportionately participate in the welfare programs:
Welfare statistics by race
43 percent of Medicaid recipients were white, 18 percent were African American and 30 percent were Hispanic. [Source: KFF]
36.2 percent of SNAP program beneficiaries were white, 25.6 percent were African American, 17.2 percent were Hispanic, 3.3 percent were Asian. [Source: USDA]
Of TANF recipients, 27.9 percent of were white, 19.1 percent were African American 36.9 percent were Hispanic. [Source: Department of Health and Human Services]
41.6 percent of the African American population and 36. 4 percent of the Hispanic population participated in at least one government assistance program in a given month.
So, please, stop posting stupid misrepresented statistics. Blacks and Hispanics use far more welfare dollars per capita than anyone else in the US.
