You don’t get out much do you?

Do you ever wonder how all of those rural trailer park occupants pay their lot rent? Pay for their food?

There are more whites living in those trailer parks who are using SNAP cards, and HEAP nationwide than there are blacks in the cities on welfare. They are not direct “welfare” recipients, but they are receiving some form of government assistance. The biggest scam that these folks perpetrate is to have their child “classified with a learning disability” and then the qualify for AFDC and other support. They may work at the local gas station, or other small businesses for nominal wages, but they are welfare collectors just the same.

As far as direct welfare payments, whites represent about 30%, but the statistics cited above do not account for the “other” in welfare programs that are directed at the so-called working poor including EITC. The is EITC is a direct lump sum welfare payment to these people.

I stand on my comment, and the statistics for welfare transfer payments to whites are deliberately blurred by those who are buying votes with this money.

You are thinking that welfare to rural whites is the same as that doled out to blacks in the cities. It is much different.

Go into a rural grocery store, and see who pays for their food and such with cash, and who pays with an EBT. 68% of purchases are made using EBT cards. I know, because my cousin owns one of those rural grocery stores.

Your statistics seem off. Why? Can you provide a source?

Blacks and whites are roughly equal in terms of total numbers on welfare, but blacks make up 13% of the population - so is a given black more likely to be on welfare than a given white?

As much as you hate manufactured housing and whites that don’t live in the city, how about posting your numbers for all these claims, for instance “70% of welfare is given to rural whites....the very ones who populate many of those seedy trailer parking lots.”.
It sounds like some white guy living in a trailer beat you up or something when you were mixing with the working classes one day.
