For the record, there are just as many White people on food stamps as black people.
That's not racism, that's hyper-partisanism, which one still wouldn't expect from Ron Paul (and is still wrong).
I'll play devil's advocate - is that as a percentage or a pure number? I absolutely don't agree with Paul, but I just wanted to ask.
Percentage or pure number doesn't really matter. The fact that whites could be on food stamps is a number so large and in communities so large proves there is nothing infallible about whites as a race whether it's 1% of 100 million or 10% of 10 million and that the subject of race and food stamp usage can be safely dropped at that point.
A lot of people who want to cut for ALL food stamps (most of which go to Whites) are called racist sometimes, too, so I wouldn't necessarily say race and food stamps are being tied together by one side specifically.
