That's because whites are 63.7% of the population and blacks are 12.6% of the population. There are more than five times as many whites as blacks.
I've heard liberals make this specious argument many times before. Just saying that there more whites on welfare than blacks as if that lays to rest some sort of unfair stereotype. Mark Twain said that there three kinds of lies: there are lies, there are damn lies and then there's statistics. Misleading with statistcal data has long been a favorite tactic for the left.

How many whites vs blacks do you think recieve the home mortgage deduction?
Do you think blacks should be able to retire earlier than whites? After all they die sooner and do not recieve their fair share of SS benifits?
Why would you leave those numbers out?
Now I know and you know that blacks use some services at a higher rate than whites but that does not change the fact that more whites are on welfare than blacks. Rural whites.
These are not Obama voters. That was my point and it was in response to Gnadfly post about more Dem voters.
COG, I am not the one having trouble following the bouncing ball.
