How is that flattering ourselves? And where is the whining? What is wrong with you?
If you don't like wasting money, stop voting for politicians who make that their bread and butter. That includes almost every democrat and all the big government republicans.
That's wonderful advice. Now tell me..did you vote for Bush? Bush Sr. Or Reagan? If so, you're hardly the right person to dispense advice to me about voting for pols who waste money.
Thats not what your figures show.. Your firgures are what percentage of americans on public assistance is of what race, not what percentage of blacks are on welfare..
Truth be told, blacks make up 14% of the public, but make up 34% of the welfare benefits.. (as of 2000).. if that number is down to 26%.. then blacks should be very thankful for the progress they have made in the last 10 years
Reading is fundamental. In my prior post I mentioned FAMILIES you mentioned individuals. Also the figures I quoted came from a 2009 study from the Urban institute.

Contrary to popular belief most Black Americans, and Latino Americans are NOT on public assistance of any kind. In fact here is the breakdown of low income families in America:
White 42%
Latino 30%
Black 26%
Other 6%
I don't really care one way or another, but your data only shows the breakdown of all low income families by race - it does not show the the percentages/ratios within each racial/ethnic category. It seems like you're saying these numbers mean that 42% of white people are poor and 26% of black people are poor when they are only saying that 42% of poor people are white, etc... this is something totally different. I don't know the actual numbers to illustrate the converse of your figures, but you might be misinterpreting these specific numbers to mean something that may not necessarily be true. Carry on.
Marco Rubio is not white. And most minorities are not big fans of the republican party because of the subtle racism that many republicans have. Of course, I would say just as many democrats have the same problem as well.

That doesnt change that the statistic you posted doesnt backup your claim.

To break it down.. You said most black americans are not on public assistance, and then you quoted the breakdown of all americans.
If you want to dispell the belief that "most black americans" are not on public assistance, you need a statistic of black americans on public assistance.

Precisely.
100% of penguins are birds, so does that mean 100% of birds are penguins? No.

I am so glad you, and other saw through his post. That is the type of deception that the MSM gets away with in 15 second "news" spots on TV. Libs have been doing things like that so long because no one can challenge them by shouting back at their tv set. On the internet it is a totally different story.
Poor libs, really reaching in their painful suffering from Tuesday.
It just so happens the GOP tent has expanded wonderfully - we now have a few black conservatives that won, hispanic women, Indian women, more gays......the hits just keep coming for the Left.
Gay man here.....I'll raise my hand and say thank GOD the Repubs won the House. Do I agree with everything the Repubs do? No. BUT, they will put a stop to Obama turning our country into something other than the USA.
