Affirmative Action

It been pointed out affirmative action programs are design to level the field for minorities… You know our military is the epidemy of affirmation action at work. It works if people just keep their race anxiety and politics outs and let it work...

Government Contractors being setting aside a small percentages so minorities and women can get their foot in the door...

You seem to forget these minority groups were locked out for decades from these G-contracts... You know too Affirmative action is trying to right the wrongs of the past 400 years...

@Viper21, you should take some empathy for you know the history of these groups were just trying to play fare with them now... fare play...

@Viper21, your billions argument goes to rural white people ...

In fact, white people make up more than Blacks and Latinos put together on welfare. In fact, there are more white people on welfare than there exist Black people in America. Let me repeat, there are more white people on welfare than there are Black folks. Of all the welfare recipients, only 22% of them are Black.

Working-class whites are the biggest beneficiaries of federal poverty-reduction programs, even though blacks and Hispanics have substantially higher rates of poverty, according to a new study to be released Thursday by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

Government assistance and tax credits lifted 6.2 million working-class whites out of poverty in 2014, more than any other racial or ethnic demographic. Half of all working-age adults without college degrees lifted out of poverty by safety-net programs are white; nearly a quarter are black and a fifth are Hispanic.





This lie that Blacks live off of welfare has been spread so far and wide and repeated over and over and over so much that common ignorant people have come to accept it as fact. In fact, even Black people themselves have accepted as fact. You have Black comedians accepting it as fact and then assuming it to be fact, make up jokes with that as the basis of their punchline.


The fact is, white people are a majority of the welfare recipients. In fact, white people make up more than Blacks and Latinos put together on welfare. In fact, there are more white people on welfare than there exist Black people in America. Let me repeat, there are more white people on welfare than there are Black folks.

Of all the welfare recipients, only 22% of them are Black. Yes, that's 1/5th of the welfare recipients are Black. That, my friend, is a small number. White people make up nearly 50% of all welfare recipients.


On the other hand black people equal 13% of the US population. White people are still a bare majority of the US demographics although this is changing fast. White people from a statistical point of view should be the majority of welfare recipients.
