So according to you and the chart, Blacks who live in Republican states have a high percentage of welfare, but Blacks who live in Democrat states are doing just fine. Why then would Blacks ever vote Republican when not only do Republican attack them every chance they get, but also when, according to you Edward, Blacks seem to be doing worse under Republican controlled states and better (less on welfare) in Blue states?
Why does no one care about the other races that make up 60% of the welfare total? Why does everyone igore the fact that Republican controlled states receive the most welfare?
I know Republicans, you're going to Blacks that live in the Conservative states. Then why is it that more Black people who live under Conservative rule are on welfare and receive"free stuff" than Blacks under Democrat rule who receive "less free stuff?"

I think it has to do more with the fact that the poor cannot just up and move.
The South has always been traditionally more conservative and that also happens to be where slavery was predominant hence the large number of Blacks in the south.
I don't think there is a correlation at all.
If that were the case all the illegals would pick up and move to CA because CA has much more benefits for them than other states.

Most Hispanics do live in CA. Illegals can move from on country & sneak illegally into another, I'm sure that that moving from Arizona to CA wouldn't be a issue.

Texas has the second largest population of illegals and they seem to be staying put.

This does prove that they're staying put because, even though they're able to sneak into a new country with nothing but the shirt on their backs, they're to poor to make it a couple of states over if that's what they wanted to do.

You missed the point. AA's make up 13% of the US population and make up 38% of welfare recipients. The southern states that have the highest concentration of AA's would also have higher welfare usage. The particular problem the southern states have is culture. Kentucky has the same demographic makeup as MN, but people in MN believe in education and have higher educational acheivements. Another thing to note is the claims that red states receive more welfare are skewed by government land ownership and military installations.

And the Texas county maps show the largest areas of poverty are right along the border.
They are literally living in cardboard boxes with no running water.
I'd also like to point out that food stamps does not allow someone to buy luxurious food like filet mignon, salmon, king crab, ribeye, etc. in decent quantities like so many tea partiers have allegedly witnessed on here. $250 a month per person is not a lot of food and usually is enough to buy cheap, unhealthy, per-processed crap and soft drinks. $1.80 for a 2 liter soda or almost $4.50+ for a gallon of milk. Talk about the easy life
I don't know what the limits are exactly, but I know for a fact you can buy almost any food item, I saw a young kid buying a prepared sandwich at a convenience store.
