Re: Cliven Bundy stands by racially charged comments, ‘That’s exactly what I said’[W:
You're not better with math.
If you're going to use the stat of total welfare recipients (38% to 39%), you have to start with the total number of welfare recipients, not the entire population.
100 people receive welfare:
38 are white
39 are black
That still doesn't change it. He's right - more blacks than whites receive welfare. Unless I read it wrong, the stats of 38% and 39% were statistics by race of the total number of welfare recipients, not statistics by race of the total population. Those would be completely different numbers.
Not really. This is what you posted;
I'm better with math than you are.
I'll make it easier for you.
Which number would be greater in a demographic?
39% of 13.1% (black American population)
or
38% or 77% (white American population)
