*"Off topic note to RW, since I can't respond on the other thread about this topic, (some people are just too chicken to let me speak to them directly.)
Don't let the specious argument that whites get more welfare than blacks do over on that other thread throw ya off. Of COURSE we do, but comparitively speaking, a MUCH larger percentage of blacks recieve aid. Remember, they're only like...17% of the population.
I'm sure there are many reasons for that, which needn't be rehashed here, but the claim itself is specious when you look at relative percentages of the populations involved.
Its an old trick, and Im surprised you haven't given it a proper rebuttal over there"*---little whip
Thanks, LW....niggling (oops...was that a racist term?) little details like that often escape my notice.
