10 percent of Americans use food stamps. Will this end the thinking that mostly black people use food stamps?

Since you asked, 41 percent of people getting food stamps are black, and blacks are only 10 percent of the population.

based on the 2000 census the most recent available

People are people. It doesn't matter what their skin color is, if there is easy money somewhere, there will be graft and corruption by some to get that money. You should have seen us hippies on the commune trying to trust all people. Raising our own food takes real work but there was always one or two who wouldn't do their part growing the food but always wanted to eat the food.

I am white and use food stamps. I wasn't aware that food stamps were only for a certain race. That's really rude. I use them because I only have a low wage part time job due to my learning disability.

Anyone that's low income uses them. NOT only blacks.

Up here in Oregon I've never heard of a single black crack on food stamps. It's usually 'white trailer trash'

In fact, I've lived in Oregon my whole life and I've only met two people who were racist against blacks.

I've never thought that buddy. Just people who don't have lots of money and have a bunch of kids use food stamps. I could use some government cheese myself right about now.

I don't know, the article doesn't say what percentage of food stamp recipients are of which demographic.
