White, 38.8% = 5,894,198
Black, 37.2% = 5,651,138
Hispanic, 17.8% = 2,704,039

White 38.8%
Black 37.2
Hispanic 17.8
Asian 2.8
Other 3.4


Correct me if I'm wrong, but I suspect the angle you're going for is the percentage of each individual race that is on welfare, in which case the highest would be blacks, although I don't have the specific numbers, it's still easy to conclude based on the above stats.
Yes that was my angle, African Americans make up less that 25% of the population yet make up over 37% of the Welfare recipients. Thats pathetic

303,824,646 US population so 5% = 15,191,232

White, 38.8% = 5,894,198
Black, 37.2% = 5,651,138
Hispanic, 17.8% = 2,704,039

So...
Total Population
White, 79.96%- 242,938,186 > or 2% on Welfare
Black, 12.85%- 39,041,067 > or 14% on welfare
Hispanic, 15.1%- 45,877,522 > or 5% on welfare

Mind you of that 15.1% it doesnt say how many illegal live here. As for Obama...

OBAMANATION = ABOMINATION

He says to get people out from poverty he will invest billions of dollars. Yeah where are those Billions coming from??

Logic seems to evade you... Have you done any cutting yet?

White, 38.8% = 5,894,198
Black, 37.2% = 5,651,138
Hispanic, 17.8% = 2,704,039

So...
Total Population
White, 79.96%- 242,938,186 > or 2% on Welfare
Black, 12.85%- 39,041,067 > or 14% on welfare
Hispanic, 15.1%- 45,877,522 > or 5% on welfare
