shalkella chin I don't think that's true, even we pretend to be ignorant about the in differences in demographic between blacks and whites, like you seem to be doing here. Of the people who receive welfare, 38.8% are white, while 39.8% are black. Now these numbers are from January 2015, and they're close, so maybe somewhere in the past more white people were on welfare as black people. However, this ignores the fact that white Americans make up a far larger share of the US population. About 72% of US citizens are white, while around 15% are black. (census.gov, 2010). As you can see, black people are disproportionately represented when it comes to welfare. I hope this helps.
