There's your mistake. You forgot to compare the SNAP recipient percentages to each race's percentage of the overall population. Do you understand your mistake? Or am I talking over your head?
I wasn't trying to do a comparison. I simply provided the facts on who gets more SNAP. Now for TANF, the numbers are about the same.
Where the heck you got your data (a source that seems fishy) to me is mind boggling. You'll come here and try to pass it off as fact.
It is well known and established part of American History that Whites have always and continue to be the largest part of the US population to receive AID. This is historical!

Those "facts" are presented out of context, and are deliberately meant to deceive people like you who don't understand that Whites are under-represented as a percentage of SNAP recipients and Blacks are over-represented by nearly a factor of 2.
I already posted the stats. What about them do you not understand?
SNAP recipient households:
White, not Hispanic population: 62.6%
White, not Hispanic SNAP households: 40.2%
Black population: 13.2%
Black SNAP households: 25.7%

Anyone else want to chime in and explain to ErnieG why his assertions are incorrect? And why he doesn't understand that Whites are getting less than their fair share of SNAP and that Blacks are getting nearly twice their fair share of SNAP, population-wise?
You want me to take sources directly from government agencies to believe that what YOU provided is true about the stats? You, someone I don't know over the establishment (White) which says WHITES get more in SNAP AID than others?
I'm well versed and graduate degree holder. You insult my intelligence by not using credible sources from which to first 1. develop a hypothesis; and get mad at someone who tells you your qualitative data is bunk?
