If you use those who are supported by Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF)--best described as a federal largess to indigent families with dependent children--as stated by the Dept. of Health the

data

suggests 1.7% of the total population that derive over 50% of their income from Welfare supports.

The number stated that receive any portion of their support from from welfare assistance--including food stamps--it is 29,900,000 or roughly 8% of the total population in the United States.

This breaks down to:

39% white 11,661,000 of 29,900,000 recipients

38% black 11,362,000 of 29,900,000

17% Hispanic 5,083,000 of 29,900,000

lol that other thread got to you, huh?

Oh snap. Those deadbeat crackahs!

No. Just started wondering myself about the welfare numbers. Thought I'd share. Plus I was actually surprised that more welfare recipients were white.

That right. Always trying to blame the brown and black man, when its those deadbeats who are a drain on the nations resources.

Sounds to me like Hispanics are more likely to work shitty jobs for low wages than whites or blacks and they are less likely to collect welfare.

the numbers don't lie. but white people do.

Aren't there a shitload more white people though? What are the percentages of each race on public assistance?

That is a better question

HEY!! Don't confuse the issue with facts Pal. White people are lazy and collect welfare in greater numbers than anyone else.

Bait taken.

Billy don't start with me. The numbers don't lie.

White people can be so sensitive.

I was hungry.

in terms of %
in proportion to the total population
number on welfare per 10000 people etc

Mexicans and blacks own this category and its not even close

The percentages those on welfare by race as of 2011 are listed below in descending order by percentage.
Black-39.8%
White-38.8%
Hispanic-15.7%
Other-3.3%
Asian-2.4%

Looks like Mexicans are not to blame. I'd call it a tie for first and second? What say you now Mr Hand?

You only want to confuse people with facts.

Based on the 2010 population there are approximately 223,553,000 whites, 50,477,594 hispanics and 38,900,000 blacks. Using the figures from cobain's brain:

5% of the Whites are on welfare, 10% of the Hispanics and 29% of the Blacks.

Dollarwise though, whitey and the blaeks are bleeding us mexicans dry with their welfare claims.

Whites win again.

Those are the same numbers given in the 1st post. It's just the overall percentages.

WTF is up with this "us" Mexicans shit anyway? Mexico is a nation. Were you guys born there?

But how can these numbers be true?? White people all over the US are claiming that the Mexicans are everywhere? Mexicans outnumber whites?? I heard it on Fox news myself. Thats why white people are pissed. Mexicans outnumber humans in the US.

Yes. If the Whites get off welfare then my cousins Flacco and Little Puppet can get some food stamps.

I think those numbers more accurately reflect the racialistic nature of welfare. Obviously blacks are on welfare because of slavery though so it isn't their fault.
