I used to think so too, but when you look at the total number on welfare and then divide the percentage of that group into races, you will now see a marked difference from the prior conceptions once held - blacks and whites nearly equal (37 and 36% with hispanics coming in at 20%
If you look at the percentages of each race on welfare, whites are by far the least (5%), with blacks and hispanics trebling and quadrupling the whites’ percentages.

You are looking a percentage of each race, but the fact is if you look at the numbers ON welfare, almost half are white.
So though maybe 95% of whites are not attached to welfare, there are still a great deal of whites along with everyone else attached to government employment, their unions, food stamps, unemployment, Obama phones and the ones that are brainwashed liberal.
