Then why not be HONEST with the stats? Why deliberately post false info? Or are you really incapable of understanding that certain groups, Democrat voters included as a specific group, are FAR more likely to be receiving welfare public assistance program benefits?

More FACTS for you, regarding political affiliation... And actually, that's the Democrat Party's modus operandi. Their largest voter base is the poor and those on public assistance. It's in the Democrats' best interest to keep as many of them as poor as possible and therefore dependent on the government. It's the only way Democrats can win elections and try to keep some semblance of political power.

And even worse, it's minorities who Democrats keep very disproportionately poor.

Now that Dem voters understand that you're supporting the maintenance and growth of a perpetually poor underclass that MUST be kept poor in order to keep most of them voting Dem, will you all still go along with that?

Democrat voters are net takers, while GOP voters are net contributors. No wonder there's such a HUGE political divide in this country.

What do you mean not by percentage rate? The fact is that 3x more white folks receive Snap. It doesn't matter if it is the percentage or not just because it doesn't fit your agenda.

If you want the percentage and food stamps, I'll play the game.

AGAIN:

Just over 40 percent of SNAP recipients are white. Another 25.7 percent are black, 10.3 percent are Hispanic, 2.1 percent are Asian and 1.2 percent are Native American, according to a 2015 Department of Agriculture report.

How much more factual can it get coming from a more recent report than the Department of Agriculture report?

Nothing false about that except your accusation and narrative but nice try. Still not addressing drugs and mass killing!

So, you don't understand per capita and statistics?

I did. Read my last post.

My concern is why are those who vote Democrat TWICE as unlikely to not be able to stand on their own two feet and support themselves? What is inherently wrong with the Democrat mentality that makes one TWICE as likely to be poor?

Wasn't there a question of percentage and food stamps? Go back and read the stats in question from the person that questioned my so-called false information from the Department of Agriculture! I understand the post. I'm not planning the spin game.

It's not high percentage numbers; it's the actual number.

40% of how many total Whites in the US = ?
25.7% of how many total Blacks in the US = ?


We aren't all divided equally here in the US by race so just using a percentage is meaningless.

So what? And people get divorced much more often than in the past. And there are more mixed-race relationships than in the past... Things keep changing, the past is history...
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.
