You know, this is what society does to you people, they use percentages of the population of a specific demographic to skew the reality of who receives government benefits.
 

SIR, I DON’T CARE WHAT STATISTICS YOU SHOW, THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT WHITE PEOPLE ARE THE LARGEST SEGMENT RECEIVING FOOD STAMPS AND WELFARE. PERIOD AND POINT BLANK. 

If there are 100 refugees from Qatar here and 25 of them receive SNAP, the graph will say 25% of Qataris receive SNAP. If you use that same logic then only 10% of the white population receive SNAP, but there are 200 million of you all!! Don’t hit me with the percentage of the individual population, that’s soothing your soul and a false way to look at the facts.

WHITES ARE THE ONES MOSTLY GETTING FOOD STAMPS AND WELFARE, PERIOD!!!!!!! 

You won’t have to wonder after November 1st.

Reuters: DEMOCRATIC-LED STATES FILE LAWSUIT TO BLOCK TRUMP ADMINISTRATION FROM SUSPENDING SNAP BENEFITS DURING GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN

https://x.com/kylegriffin1/status/1983208438432669986

The states say suspending SNAP "is both contrary to law and arbitrary and capricious under the Administrative Procedure Act," and "irreparably harming their states."

"A harm that increases every day SNAP benefits are delayed."

The principle is a larger one- that Trump cannot arbitrarily choose to restrict or stop spending already authorized by Congress. Do you agree with that principle?

I wonder what happened to all the privilege the white people on welfare you're so mad at were supposed to have.

But guess what?  Fiscally responsible people still don't care about SNAP benefits evaporating.  This isn't the big gotcha you think it is.

I have no idea what you all are getting mad at? You’re mad at facts? The thing is, you spent the first couple of pages clamoring on and on about how illegal immigrants or immigrants in general are the ones getting all the food stamps and are on the side of Republicans that want to curb food stamp benefits and here I come simply saying, hey morons, that isn’t true, whites are the ones mostly getting food stamps and red states are mostly getting government assistance. And you are saying I’m wrong. IDGAF. Believe me or don’t. Keep voting against your own interests! Keep believing the lies. You’ll see the truth soon enough.

No. Lazy people like liberals AND illegals are getting food stamps.

All race categories are single race and do not distinguish Hispanic ethnicity from non-Hispanic ethnicity, except for white, which is exclusive of Hispanic ethnicity (i.e., non-Hispanic white alone, Black alone, AIAN alone, Asian alone, and NHPI alone). Hispanic can be of any race.

This lie started long before Trump. Rush Limbaugh told them the only people getting food stamps were lazy blacks and illegal Mexicans. Now they accept it as gospel. You can keep telling them the truth but they’ll never accept it.

I don't think anyone disagrees with your claim about white people getting more SNAP benefits because everyone realizes white people are the largest ethnic group in the country. Maybe the disagreement is around if they get more or less per capita than other groups, in which case I it seems self evident that they get less.

I typed this into Google AI : 

what is the racial makeup of SNAP beneficiary recipients and contrast this with the racial makeup of the country as a whole.

 

 

 

 

 

and this is the result I got:

 

------

While a plurality of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients are White, racial and ethnic minorities are disproportionately represented compared to their share of the U.S. population. This disparity reflects broader inequities in poverty and food insecurity across the country. 

 

Racial makeup of SNAP recipients

According to the latest USDA data from fiscal year 2023, the breakdown of SNAP recipients is: 

• White: Over 35% of participants
• Black/African American: Nearly 26% of participants
• Hispanic: Nearly 16% of participants
• Asian: 4% of participants
• Native American: Over 1% of participants 

It is worth noting that a significant share of SNAP participants, about 17%, are categorized as "race unknown". 

 

Racial makeup of the U.S. population

In contrast, here is the racial makeup of the total U.S. population, based on 2023 estimates: 

• White (non-Hispanic): 58% of the population
• Hispanic: 20% of the population
• Black/African American: 13% of the population
• Asian: 6% of the population
• Other/Multiracial: 3% of the population 

 

Key contrasts and disparities

Comparing the two breakdowns highlights clear disparities in the representation of different racial and ethnic groups on SNAP. 

• Black Americans are significantly overrepresented. They make up almost 26% of SNAP recipients, which is about double their 13% share of the U.S. population.
• Hispanic Americans are also overrepresented. They constitute nearly 16% of SNAP recipients, a figure notably higher than their 13% share of the adult population in 2020 (when using Census data).
• White Americans are underrepresented. While they account for the largest share of total SNAP beneficiaries, their participation rate is lower than their share of the overall U.S. population.
• Asian Americans have a proportional or slightly lower representation. Their share of SNAP participation is generally in line with or slightly lower than their share of the total population, according to some analyses. 

These disparities are tied to larger socioeconomic factors. In 2021, food insecurity rates for Black and Hispanic households were more than double the rate for White households, and these inequities reflect structural barriers related to systemic racism, discrimination, and poverty.

By the way, I noticed this "voting against your own interest" thing a lot coming from the left.  Telling that the left are the ones dismayed that people would be willing to sacrifice these short term payoffs in favor of a strong economy that in the end helps everyone.

[peenie 1,949]

I’m not going to quote you @Voltaire  only to save space. The facts are always presented in a way to make it seem like white people aren’t the most. It’s the same with inmates and every other stat. Instead of looking at the numbers, let’s look at the percentages of the demographic and do all sorts of shenanigans to look away from the main point; whites are the most getting food stamps, welfare and are the most in jail. 

To put salve on the wound, the story is told this way: blacks have a higher percentage of their population on welfare, receiving food stamps and in jail than whites. Why is the stat told that way? 

If you then say, well whites are still the majority and that’s the reason why they are the most receiving benefits well then I am going to come back with well blacks were slaves for hundreds of years, denied income, land and education and until recently, quite unable to move upward in society due segregation and lack of resources to good education, health services and jobs. You don’t want to hear all of that anymore than I want to hear the convoluted way the stats are presented in order to dim the fact that whites are in fact the face of poverty and crime but politicians and the media has convinced the world otherwise, hence the entire conversation on the matter. Hence people talking about illegal immigrants getting handouts instead of their dad or sister. 

And I say all of this as a way WE should be unified. It’s like you guys are blind, election after election blind to your own needs. 

How do the poorest states that need the most help vote against getting help when in fact they are receiving the most help. Make it make sense!!
