WASHINGTON -- Gene Alday, a Republican member of the Mississippi state legislature, apologized last week for telling a reporter that all the African-Americans in his hometown of Walls, Mississippi, are unemployed and on food stamps.

"I come from a town where all the blacks are getting food stamps and what I call 'welfare crazy checks,'" Alday said to a reporter for The Clarion-Ledger, a Mississippi newspaper, earlier this month. "They don't work."

Nationally, most of the people who receive benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program are white. According to 2013 data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which administers the program, 40.2 percent of SNAP recipients are white, 25.7 percent are black, 10.3 percent are Hispanic, 2.1 percent are Asian and 1.2 percent are Native American.

Why is he apologizing? Is it his fault they are on Food Stamps and don't work?

12.8% -- Race unknown
7% -- No adult or head of household listed
20.5% -- subtotal

There's the rest...
I assume it doesn't add precisely to 100 due to rounding errors.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_United_States

Population - 2010 Census

308 745 538 - 100.00% - Total population
223 553 265 - 72.41% - White alone
038 929 319 - 12.61% - Black alone

014 674 252 - 04.75% - Asian alone
002 932 248 - 00.95% - American Indian and Alaska Native alone
000 540 013 - 00.17% - Hawaiian Native and Other Pacific Islander alone

In the 2010 census, Whites were 72.41% of the population. According to the article, they amount to 40.2% of the SNAP recipients.

In the 2010 census, Blacks were 12.61% of the population. According to the article, they amount to 25.7% of the SNAP recipients.

That's a pretty broad claim,Willie.

What SPECIFIC educational funding did he vote against?

Did he vote to close public schools and throw the little elementary school chil-runs out in the street to beg for scraps of food to eat?

Or did he vote to not have US taxpayers pay for the education of the children of illegal aliens?

No $#!T. Do a study and see how many more whites live in this country than blacks. Being lazy and a sheep knows no color.

However, do an intelligent study based on Per capita... and you might find yourself surprised about the black population and welfare... kinda like the incarceration numbers.

This is not a racist comment... there are far more lazy white sheep.

Thanks for looking that up. Of course it's what I expected whenever the press reports a number based on total population.

So the bottom line is that blacks are 4 times as likely to be on food stamps than whites. You'll never see that reported.

And I'd bet good money those same statistics would apply to the number of single mothers, abortions, welfare, crime, high school dropout rate, and all other social problems. Those problems will not be addressed if the press continues to report these as "most are white".

I wonder if he voted for a better curriculum to be taught in the public schools?

That would solve the problem instead of voting for more teachers to teach a bad curriculum at the taxpayers expense.

Because there are more white sheep.

Who's lazy? It's simple. What percentage of whites are on food stamps? What percentage of blacks are on food stamps?

300 million Americans -- 210 million white, 39 million black.

Now, 50 million on food stamps -- 20 million white, 12 million black (according to the article).

20/210 = 10% of whites on food stamps. 12/39 = 30% of blacks on food stamps.

I appreciate your use of a thesaurus to improve your vocabulary. Yes, "grievous" does mean bad or horrible. But not the way you used it.

I means causing grief (severe pain, or anguish) -- like a grievous wound.

Amen.

And today more whites, male and female, are imitating the black life style. Whites have a 25+ percentage out of wedlock birth rate and a 50+ percentage divorce rate with the government left with the responsibility for raising the children. Hillary says "it takes a villiage" to raise kids. It takes a village, and a big bureaucracy to compensate for the diseased deficiency of heterosexual relationships in this country.

Negative.

The poster in question allows his hatred for some posters to affect the quality, accuracy and factuality if his posts. Because he dislikes you, he'll SPIN your post into something it's not.

He dislikes me... thus Its impossible that I've amassed 50,000 primers. Even though it's a smart thing to do, a simple task to complete... and reasonable to do after close to 30 years of reloading.

Now... the next step is to attack me for agreeing with you. That should happen in 3... 2... 1...

State Rep. Gene Alday, R-Walls, doesn't believe any more funding is needed. "I don't see any schools hurting," he said.

But then he went on to say that Mississippi "has a lot of bad school districts. The people are electing superintendents that don't know anything about education."

Wow imagine that, electing people who know nothing about education or a curriculum. (Reminds me of how they vote for politicians too).

You know I wonder how all of us older generations managed to get an education and jobs without special reading coaches?????? Maybe it's because there was a better curriculum and the old "Try, try and try again" mantra.

Not accurate. Latino or Hispanic is not considered a race. Mexican is not a race. A Mexican could be of any race, just as an American can be. It is a matter of self-identification.

I believe the significant majority of Hispanics (does not include Portuguese) or Latinos (more generalized) would be included as White.
