In the period since 1993, the percentage of people living in families receiving âwelfareâ (TANF, SSI and/or SNAP) hit its lowest level in 2000, when it was 12.5 percent, according to the report. Between then and 2011, it climbed to its highest-yet-recorded rate of 23.1 percent.
Say we lived in a state with 100 whites and 10 blacks. Let's then say a quarter (25) of the whites are on welfare. Lets also say ALL (all 10 of them) the blacks are on welfare. 25 whites and 10 blacks are being supported by the working 75 whites. Technically, that's more whites on welfare than blacks. If you look at the population statistics though, it's only a minority of whites but the vast majority of blacks.
