This shit is getting old.

[Meathead]

Seriously?

Whew! OK, step by step. Please pay attention here. 38.8% of those on welfare are white and 39.8 are black. The remainder is the difference, so largely Latino and some Asian etc.

Therefore, as a population as a whole, about 5% of whites and 30% of blacks are on welfare.

Get someone to help you if you need figuring this out.

That isn't what my link said - if the link is wrong - then refute it.

The link said, verbatim:
38.8 percent of Caucasians, and 39.8 percent of African-Americans are on welfare.

You read English right?[/QUOTE]I will withhold any further comment in deference to your modship. Please read carefully:

Fact: Think again! The margin between Caucasians and African-Americans who are on welfare is extremely narrow — 38.8 percent of Caucasians, and 39.8 percent of African-Americans are on welfare.[/QUOTE]

I am still not reading it the same way as you are. [/QUOTE]

Lies, damn lies and statistics.

The wording was manipulated to be misleading. The phrase "who are on welfare" was purposely done so. It is up to us as posters to avoid quoting deceptive links, otherwise you come out as a hack.

 

[Sallow]

So answer the question Unkawhore.
So you're completely okay with the over reaction of a bunch of thugs,but the so called over reaction of officer Wilson in the plugging of Dirt Nap Mike is somehow different?

Where, exactly, did you construe that?

Cut out the words.

Show the phrase.

Or? You are lying.

No one is "spitting out babies like rabbits." Fertility rates are falling across the board. Your offensive terminology in reference to human life says a lot about you.

They're not spitting them out like rabbits? Everyday I see hispanic women going into the WIC office with one in the stroller, one walking next to her and a huge belly. hispanics are Catholic and don't believe in birth control.

Who are you to decide who can or can not have children?

I don't see where anyone is deciding who can or can not have children, but what people are concerned about is the government incentivizing the situation that causes poor people to feel as if it is OK to have babies like mad while their hands are stretched way out. What or how did you get what you got out of someone speaking about these things by your response in which you gave? It appears by your statement that you are angry, so are you ?

Nope. Not angry. But somehow she seems to focus her "concern" on minorities only - specifically blacks and hispanics. I don't hear her saying anything about white teen pregnancies and whites on welfare do you?

1. Most of the people on welfare are African-Americans.

Fact: Think again! The margin between Caucasians and African-Americans who are on welfare is extremely narrow — 38.8 percent of Caucasians, and 39.8 percent of African-Americans are on welfare.

3. Most woman on welfare continue to have babies so that they can maximize the amount of benefits that they receive.

Blacks and the History of Welfare

Considering african americans are 13% of the population.......

Your point is?

According to 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 Demographics of the United States - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
- 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%

Is this clear enough? I'm not sure I can dumb it down any further.
Maybe you can help me with that..since you seem to be an expert on stupid.
