Quote: (Source http://www.urban.org/publications/310968.html)
Overall, poverty fell from 15.0 percent in 1996 to 12.3 percent in 2001 (table 1). For blacks and Hispanics, poverty rates dropped by almost 5 percentage points: from 27.7 percent to 23.1 percent for blacks and from 29.6 percent to 24.9 percent for Hispanics. Whites experienced a smaller decline of approximately 2 percentage points, from 9.8 percent to 7.9 percent. Thus, the changes in poverty over this period effectively narrowed the disparities in poverty rates between these groups and whites by about 3 percentage points. Despite this progress, blacks and Hispanics remained approximately 3 times as likely to be poor as whites in 2001.

You look at the numbers, and if it doesn't make you sick, you're racist, it's that simple. Whites sit on top of the wealth in the country and do their best to push the minorities down, so that they don't have to share. While 38.8% of the people of welfare are white, they are the majority race in the country. Blacks make up 12% of the population but 37.2% of those on welfare, so while they are not the highest on the welfare chart, they are not represented as they would be if there was true Equal Opportunity in this country. What really makes me sick is how many blacks call themselves republicans, when so many of their "Brothers" and "Sisters" are on welfare, when Republicans want to end welfare permanently, so that the money can be spent on oil wars. (to be discussed later), or so that taxes can be cut even further so that the CEOs can buy another yacht. The blacks call themselves republicans because they "agree" with them on so many unimportant issues (E.g abortion, same sex marriage, wars, etc) that are designed to distract us from the corporate takeover happening underneath our noses. So all you blacks out there, if you want to keep from living in virtual slavery (again) then stop voting in republicans over those stupid issues.
