 Or more fraudulently. There are aproximately 3 times as many
 poor whites as poor blacks in this country. The poor are
 overwhelmingly working poor. Even your 9th ward, the infamously
 abandoned by the Feds, home of the poor black population, was
 overwhelmingly made up of families supported by workers.

 The reality has been it isn't white or black, but haves and have
 nots. The haves have taken more from the poor black community
 than the poor black community ever got back.

 Remember Mitt Romney's infamous 47%? Well, since blacks make up
 only about 13% of the population of this country, That leaves
 34% to be white. Since even the 15% unemployment rate among
 blacks, or more like 25% real unemployment rather than the fake
 numbers the government uses, still means 25% of 13%. Or about 3
 1/3% of the population. That leaves about 45% out of 47% Mitt
 Romney considers "takers" to be white.
