I’m not sure that’s true. While a higher percentage of black children live under poverty guidelines, in terms of raw numbers there are more poor white kids.
I actually looked up the numbers and found that there were more poor black kids. This was about a month ago so I don’t remember, but I forwarded the stats to my son.
Correct. Raw numbers indicate that whites outnumber blacks in poverty in the US by 2.3 times. About 22 million whites versus about 9 million blacks.
On a percentage basis about 22% of blacks versus about 9% of whites live in poverty.
