this was surprising

I'm with CJ, race should not matter. It is just a deterrent from the real issue which is abuse of the system. There are to many people in this country that are happy to let others provide for them and a government that is more than happy to oblige.

If this was already covered my apologies but I'm confused. It looks like this could be saying two things:
1:10% of all Hispanics in the US are on food stamps
or
2:Hispanics receive 10% of all food stamp benefits?

I am guessing that it is number two. In that case, where is the other 32%?

I will go out on a limb and say that the 10% listed for hispanics is a representation of the hispanic Americans here legally, and that illegal aliens would be in the unlisted 32%.

I'm sure my math is off, looks like:

From the 2010 census, using the 42.9 million on foodstamps then (it is now 47 million) and using the percentages in that picture.

white population- 196,817,000 (63.7%)
black population- 37,685,000 (12.2%)
latino population- 50,477,000 (16.3%)


white-1 out of every 12.7 on food stamps
black-1 out of every 3.9 on food stamps
latino-1 out of every 11.7 on food stamps

It is too early for me to be multiplying and dividing eight digit numbers.

And you dont consider the fact that the african americans , making up 12% of the population

BUT recieving THAT percentage , to be a little odd ? i must be a racist

right on the money... just like jail population

fact checkers.. does the queen of england still sign off on who is the POTUS?

She doesn't even have anything to do with England's government.

Cj- I friend I talk with tonight, single no kids, figured his total taxation is 67% including everything he is taxed on. So since he works hard and gets paid well, he's only entitled in the governments eyes, to 33% of what he earns, meanwhile, the mexican bitch who pops the beans out like pieces of shit gets to collect. That is offensive as fuck.

how old is he?17?

i have a family member who has been on stamps for years. $400 a month the pantry has so much food in it that it is sickening. nothing but sweets bread and junk food. millions probably do the same thing. what a joke

[CJ]

Yeah well if you're on welfare, you better have a fucking job and hae no shame of pissing in a god damn cup. Your living quarters should be barely better than a cardboard box, too.

In my hometown in Canada, you should see the government living apartments; most are twice as nice as half of Euless.

I've been to England. Entire cities are government housing. That's where we're going. Go to work, come home and you get what you get.

[Dlachance]

No, it isn't surprising. White people have always been the bigger food stamp recipient. I don't give a shit about race, as a matter of fact I'm absolutely fucking sick and tired of race even being a factor in anything. It's such a waste of time and a distraction. If you're collecting food stamps, you better be at rock bottom. That should be the requirement. If you are unable to feed yourself, than stay on food stamps until you're working again. But if you have AC, cable, xbox, etc. there is a serious fucking problem.

Your words are leaning right

Show me the percentage of race x as a percentage of how many are on food stamps relative to the number that isn't on food stamps. Them compare that to race y and z
