nope, but your point doesn't address the point of the thread

if you think people are on welfare because they're lazy, and more black people are on welfare than white people, you must believe that black people are lazier

and considering US demographics: http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/00000.html

White: 77%
Black: 12%

they must be a LOT lazier

^that's a false statement. you can't define "lazy" by one metric alone. it is no secret that blacks have traditionally come from a lower socioeconomic background, which can not completely be written off as lazy. if you think so, you are a deplorable racist. (fact)

why else are people on welfare, then?

or alternatively:

why do you think black people are poorer, generally?

http://www.snaptohealth.org/snap/snap-frequently-asked-questions/#who

a user sent me this statistic...
Quote :
"SNAP eligibility rules require that participants be at or below 130% of the Federal Poverty Level. Recent studies show that 49% of all SNAP participants are children (age 18 or younger), with almost two-thirds of SNAP children living in single-parent households. In total, 76% of SNAP benefits go towards households with children, 16% go to households with disabled persons, and 9% go to households with senior citizens.

According to demographic data, 43% of SNAP participants are white, 33% are African-American, 19% are Hispanic, 2% are Asian, and 2% are Native American."

sure, we can go with that

participation in 2013 was ~48 million

http://www.fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/pd/SNAPsummary.pdf

.43*48 million =20.64 million white people
.33*48 million = 15.84 black people

Total white people in US: 223,553,265
Total black people in US: 38,929,319

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_United_States#Race_and_ethnicity

% white people on food stamps = 21/224 = 9.4%
% black people on food stamps = 16/39 = 41%

point stands, so:

a) why else are people on welfare?

or

b) why do you think black people are substantially lazier?

ok let's break this down

your negroid races are, dating all the way back to the beginning of time, despicable. harken back to the days of colonialism: negroids would sell each their own kind to Europeans, who then (unfortunately) brought them to the New World. these negroids became mixed with Europeans to breed our current class of negroid, which is no better than their past brethren. what do we see today? negroids exposing each other to drugs, killing each other...just as they have always done.

now then, your typical negroid is a piece of shit, especially the male variety. they have litters of children among several bitches of the species, and abandon them all in order to go to prison, a magical land where there are three free meals a day and all the ass you can rape. these bitches, as it were, are left to raise the little negroids (niglets) on their own. rather than be responsible and, say, not have unprotected sex, the female negroids allow themselves to be used by the males in order to get their own benefit, known as "welfare". this comes in several forms: housing, food stamps, or other such means that allow them to sit home, eat pork rinds, and talk on their Reagan (not Obama) phones to their girlfriend Shawlawanda all day.

now you may be asking, "but why are white people on welfare?" the answer to that is "niggerdom." the dispicableness of the negroid rubs off on the lower class white who adapts the fatherless lifestyle and breeds in a manner similar to that of the negroids. we then see a system where lazy whites coexist with lazy blacks, though in a disproportionate fraction due to the inherent niggerdom of the negroid.

tl;dr: blacks are lazy and so is white trash

People on food stamps are necessarily lazy, they just as equally could be lacking in intelligence.

if you believe people are on food stamps solely out of laziness, you're racist

can anyone explain how that statement is wrong, given the statistics posted earlier?

this isn't trolling. it's called the socratic method:

adultswim, the number you used for "white people in US" includes White Hispanics, but the figures for the racial distribution of SNAP recipients segregate Hispanics into a separate racial category, the same way the common parlance does; a better comparison would use the figures for non-Hispanic Whites and non-Hispanic Blacks in the US from that table: 196,817,552 and 37,685,848

Another problem is that you mixed figures from different years: Your population figures were from 2010, but the SNAP participation breakdown by race was from an unknown year and the summary of usage was from 2013; to make the comparison more valid, let's try using figures from 2012 (the latest year for which I could find racial data): http://factfinder2.census.gov/faces/tableservices/jsf/pages/productview.xhtml?src=bkmk

Non-Hispanic Whites (US, 2012): 197,705,655
Non-Hispanic Blacks (US, 2012): 38,727,063

Average SNAP participation to nearest thousand (US, 2012): 46,609,000

Estimated White participation in SNAP in 2012: 20,041,870
Estimated Black participation in SNAP in 2012: 15,380,970

Estimated portion of Whites in SNAP in 2012: 10.137%
Estimated portion of Blacks in SNAP in 2012: 39.716%

---
The conclusions aren't much different, but it's important to be mindful of whether "Non-Hispanic" is implied by any presentation of data by race in the United States.

I'll go ahead and do this for the other racial groups, although "some other race" was not mentioned in the breakdown of SNAP usage, and it wasn't clear whether they counted only people who claimed one race or people who claimed that race alone or in combination (I used the "Non-Hispanic White alone" and "Non-Hispanic Black alone" figures); also, because the SNAP breakdown didn't include a figure for "Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander" I presume the Asian figure includes Pacific Islanders.

Hispanics (US, 2012): 53,027,708
Non-Hispanic Asians and Pacific Islanders (US, 2012): 16,140,684
Non-Hispanic Native Americans (US, 2012): 2,309,112

Estimated Hispanic participation in SNAP in 2012: 8,855,710
Estimated Asian participation in SNAP in 2012: 932,180
Estimated Native American participation in SNAP in 2012: 932,180

Estimated portion of Hispanics in SNAP in 2012: 16.7002%
Estimated portion of Asians in SNAP in 2012: 5.7753%
Estimated portion of Native Americans in SNAP in 2012: 40.3696%

Of course, these last two figures are the least reliable, because the difference between 1.51% and 2.49% is much bigger, in relative terms, than (say) 18.51% and 19.49%, when thinking about what the "true" value of those rounded percentages for SNAP participation by race could have been.

are you even reading my posts? i don't think i can simplify this anymore

If a person believes that people are on welfare because they're too lazy to get a job

And a higher percentage of black people are on welfare than white people

That person must also believe that black people are lazier than white people

So my question to that person is:

Why do you believe black people are lazier than white people? Is it because they are inferior as a race, or is it because they have been systematically marginalized?

The logic doesn't flow. You haven't proven which race is lazier to the person in question with your "higher percentage" claim. You've only shown which race has a larger portion of people on welfare and that the person regards those people as lazy. You would need to establish welfare as the leading indicator of laziness to the person in the initial claim.


You could say:

If a person believes that whichever race has the highest percentage of people on welfare is the lazier than others
And the black race has the highest percentage of people on welfare,
Then that person believes that the black race is lazier than the white race.


This would be logically correct, but you would lose the main premise of the "trap" that you are trying to set. I don't care about nor condone the actual discussion, I just enjoy clear & concise logic.

Instead of trying to trap people, why is it just not ok to say (if you believe that welfare = lazy) that all white people on welfare are lazy, and all black people that are on welfare are lazy. Why not just leave it at that? Regardless of what percentage of what race subscribes to welfare.

Why not just say a certain percentage of people on welfare are lazy, regardless of their race. An even higher percentage of people on welfare are not lazy.

because that isn't the premise of the thread...i'm not making any initial claim. i'm asking certain people to examine their own, but i always forget most people aren't interested in that.

mildew, its definitely a little faulty, but I think people who fit the bill would generally consider welfare to be a leading indicator

and why is anyone afraid of being "trapped"? isn't the point of arguing to change yours or the other person's mind?

not trying to be controversial, just had a thought and wanted to explore it

No, I see what you're getting at. Some people think that blacks, as a whole, are lazier than other races, yet are better dancers and athletes (except whites are better quarterbacks). And Asians are worse drivers but are smarter and more industrious, but ruder.
