Talking Points and facts on Welfare part 2:
"I was denied welfare because I’m white."

The largest population of welfare recipients, by race, is white. So that’s clearly false.

You were denied welfare because conservatives like you threw a hissy fit back in the 1990s, because you thought it was too easy to get on welfare, and that too many people were getting on it. Now that you’ve applied for it, you’ve seen hard to get on it, and rather than admit to your own mistake, now you’re playing the race card.
Typical...

    • The best thing about this entire talking point is the flag behind TPP with familiar, big company logos in the place where the stars would be.

    • Why are you trying to get on welfare in the first place? I have worked all my life so I wouldn't end up on welfare. I don't want to be on welfare, I want to determine my own life. It should be hard to get on welfare, it's not hard enough now, obviously. You should try to make something of yourself, perhaps have some self respect. What the hell are you talking about?

      Do you think that people without insurance that break their arm, then lose their job should be denied welfare? Do you think that if YOU got cancer, couldn't afford your medical bills, and lost your job, you would still opt out, or talk the arrogant rambling that you are?

    • yeah typical, make the numbers work for you by not using the real way it should be judged. On a ratio basis. Of course there are more white on welfare. look at the huge numbers we have in the population. It would almost be impossible to not have the most by numbers. Dont try and fool anyone punk patriot. use the real facts, as they really are and consider it from all angles not just the ones that suit your needs.

      yeah typical, make the numbers work for you by not using context about how African Americans were denied the tools that whites got to help accumulate wealth. Now there are more AA's accumulating wealth, but this shit takes a while.

      I'd like to know what it is on Ratio based numbers

      Actually I looked them up for you all

      http://www.hailno.org/2010/07/301/

      Whites make up 80.2% of the total population @ 237,854,954

      5.27% of the white population receives welfare for 12,534,956 total

      Whites account for a total of 38.8% of those receiving assistance or about 1 in 18
      Blacks make up 12.8% of the total U.S. population @ 37,909,341

      27.78% of the black population receives welfare for 10,538,796 total

      Blacks account for a total of 39.8% of those receiving assistance or about 1 in 3.6

      Hispanics make up 14.4% of the total U.S. population @ 42,687,224

      11.47% of the Hispanic population receives welfare for 6,146,960 total

      Hispanics account for a total of 15.7% of those receiving assistance or about 1 in 7

      Asians make up 4.3% of the total U.S. population @ 12,687,472

      2.4% of the Asian population receives welfare for 304,499 total

      Asians account for a total of 2.4% of those receiving assistance or about 1 in 41.7

      Yes I know that the numbers add up to over 100% but I would guess that many are counted as multi racial and thats where the numbers get F-ed up

      Minorities would have higher unemployment rates as the economy crumbles. Building and the hospitality industry have taken a very large hit. We are almost three years into this crash and when unemployment runs out welfare is what is left. Our jobs went to China and Mexico and many other slave wage countries. America needs to create or Make the stuff that Americans buy!!!!
