So you'll scream at the top of your lungs that you're not racist, but you cling SO hard to anything that presents people of color - especially Black people - as inferior.
Explain it then. Explain why the disparity exists. You're clearly invested in it.
You claim you hate "race baiters," but if you're just going to take little pot shots here and there without bothering to elaborate upon or defend your positions, what else can you call your behavior?
You claim racism doesn't exist, or is overblown? Why? Because disparities in arrests, stops, searches, use of police force, sentencing, and poverty are "justified?" If they're justified, HOW are they justified?
If you say anything that implies biological or cultural inferiority: congratulations, you ARE a racist.
Step up or step off, troll.

I bet the ones that are on snap happen to be foreign exchange students too. Not being racist at all. During my college days all of the exchange students had it paying for their groceries during the summer. Mostly students from Nepal, Japan, and Saudi. Much respect

Hush. The only thing you're bruising right now are your own wrists, banging on that keyboard.
I was addressing the person I quoted. I wouldn't quote someone else quoting you to speak to you. (Though perhaps you felt the shoe fits, given that you picked up a warning the word "darkies" in a forum post made in 2014.)
It doesn't require any particular expertise to recognize the difference between absolute and relative disparities. That doesn't change the point of the original article: more White people, in total, are on public assistance than any other group.
As such, it's especially irresponsible, if not hateful, to try and racialize public assistance recipients. If someone says "welfare mother" and you picture a woman of color, that is a racist stereotype. It is certainly not justified by the data.
More than 20% of NBA players are foreign-born. (Compared to ~13% of the US population.) More than 20% of SNAP recipients identified as Black. (Compared to ~13% of the US population.)
If you walk by a recent immigrant on the street, do you presume them to be an NBA player? That makes about as much sense as characterizing SNAP recipients as Black.

If your post contains a rule violation, it's subject to deletion. It was up for a minute. Nobody was impressed. We'd rather get back to discussing the topic at hand, which actually matters to some folks.Until someone one ups him and he decides to delete post to make it seem like he won.

I didnt think anyone thought otherwise. Of course there are more whites on stamps, they're 70 odd pecent of the population Its nigh impossible for there to be more blacks than whites on stamps purely in number. Per capita though, thats a different story entirely.

Here's my post from a similar thread:
It is true that black people receive SNAP benefits at a higher rate. In order to get SNAP benefits, one has to be pretty poor and have a low income and very few assets. Considering that US History is largely defined as the story of black labor and wealth being extorted away from black people, is it any surprise that black people are disproportionately poor and thus disproportionately eligible for Food Assistance?
We also need to think of SNAP Benefits (colloquially referred to as "food stamps") in the broader context of US Food Economic policy. When they came into being, food stamps were not a handout, they were a rebate. We decided that it was in our national interest to help farmers by keeping the price of their crops high. We used subsidies, protectionism against foreign trade and state organized and backed collusion in order to keep the prices of agricultural prices high.
This was very helpful for farmers, who were almost always white and who had middle and upper incomes. The byproduct of these high price polices was that grocery bills were made artificially high for everyone and this created a particular hardship for poor people. That is why we decided to give very poor people vouchers for food.
For the last 40 years or so, Congress routinely appropriated money for SNAP benefits at the same time that it reauthorized assistance for farmers. Thanks to the Tea Party, this process is being disrupted. Since the Tea Party is allegedly terrified of the National Debt and excessive government spending, one would think they would go after welfare for farmers since welfare for farmers makes up the majority of the Farm Bill and cost tax payers far more than food stamps do.
Naturally, they gutted the SNAP/food stamps Portion because "freedom" and "the DEBT!" The real kicker is that many members of Congress and/or their immediate family members actually receive those welfare benefits for farmers. Of course, when affluent, white farmers get goodies from the government, it is not welfare. People like Joni "bread bags" Ernst and her family received "business incentives" for decades on her family's Iowa farm.
As we know the only people who receive welfare benefits are poor, lazy, shiftless nig-- um, inner city people, who have a culture of non work and poor impulse control. The next time you see someone using public assistance to buy groceries and you feel an upwelling of rage and indignation, try to redirect it towards the good folks out in the town of Skokabok, No Where. The folks who get paid for being being rural and white, you know "The Real Americans," need $100,000 every year in a way that poor families apparently do not need a couple $100 per month.
