Why tax ? Just conviscate all the private wealth and divide it among the people.

Then we can all be poor.

Do you understand percentages?

Look at the Pew Research data. Out of 100 Whites, 15 have received Food Stamps. Out of 100 Blacks, 31 have received Food Stamps.

And leaving race out of it... Out of 100 GOP voters, 10 have received Food Stamps. Out of 100 Democrat voters, 22 have received Food Stamps.

Do you understand percentages and rates? Or is this over your head?

That seems to be quite clear.

We aren't all divided equally here in the US by race so just using a percentage is meaningless.
So you are calling the Department of Agriculture clueless? I think they are aware of this. They factored in household numbers!

Are you a college graduate? If so, in which discipline did you earn your degree?

It seems evident she doesn't understand that.

I'm not with the name calling. Just because my post, stats and percentages doesn't fit your agenda doesn't mean facts aren't facts. I refuse to believe that Newsweek, Department of Agriculture and the Department of Health over Pewter is bias and inaccurate which is the next claim race baiters will put their focus.

I choose to go with percentages that were posted a few days ago and a stat from a more recent government entity, Department of Agriculture stat than a study from 2013. Spin it how you choose, just like you ignore mass shooting and illegal drug use which ends the rhetoric. That's a telling sign of throwing stones while not addressing your own house.

Why not go back and calculate how many rape babies white men created over 100's of years, denied creating them and then when those babies was older, then he raped it too, and then enslaved it. While living a lie pretending to have family values and lying about being of morality and certainly lying about having marital fidelity. (surely you won't acknowledge those truths, as usual...) His vile was so great, that he would sell off the same rape babies he created, or sell of the husband of the woman, who was raising those rape created babies. because his greed was greater than any other value that he lived for, other than raping, chasing money and living a pretentious lie and trying to turn the rape babies into labor he could profit from.

Thank goodness, the black men had the dignity. decency and honor as a human being, to give that rape created baby, respect, appreciation, and love, and made that baby feel as a part of the family without bias toward the baby.

Even today, one probably need to go a look at the single mother white women parents that continue to rise in America. Geez, where he dumps her because she refuse to be treated like some piece of property, and he does not respect her as a individual person... such, selective blindness will never present the truths to those who choose to be "selectively blind".

Single moms (and dads) are not the end of the world. And just because a mom is not married, does not mean she is not in a relationship.
In the US being a single mom might only highlight certain more fundamental problems such as income inequality, lack of decent part-time jobs, etc.
That's all fine and dandy if the single mothers can support their kids or the father sends support.
But

But 35% of those single parent families live in poverty and that percentage is growing each year.

I'll take a stab at trying to explain the Math...

40% of all those receiving Food Stamps are White, but 61.3% of the US population is White, non-Hispanic.

25.7% of all those receiving Food Stamps are Black, but 13.3% of the US population is Black, non-hispanic.

https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fa...e/US/PST045217

The equation to find out how many times more likely a Black person is to be on Food Stamps than a White person is: 25.7/13.3 divided by 40/61.3 = 2.96

A Black person is about 3 times more likely to receive Food Stamps than a White person.

Does anyone not understand that, or need more of an explanation of the Math?
