I'm going to say more whites but there were more whites per capita than blacks. I'm trying to remember if any blacks were on welfare, and don't think any were. Everyone's dad's went to work, most at the steel mill in town.
There were a couple of white kids in town on welfare because their parents were alcoholics, and didn't work, but we hung out with those kids too. If they needed something, we gave them ours. I didn't realize how lucky we all were then to see each other as friends simply because we enjoyed each other's company.
