So who’s right? Well, here are the facts according to a newly released 2016 report by the US Department of Health and Human Services, U.S. Department of Commerce, CATO Institute. * Number of Americans receiving welfare assistance: 110,489,000 * Number of Americans receiving food stamps: 41,700,000 * Number of Americans on unemployment insurance: 10,200,000 * Percentage of the US population on welfare: 35.4 percent * Total government spending on welfare annually: $131.9 billion So how many Blacks vs. whites? Well, believe it or not, the numbers are actually about the same. There are just about as many whites on welfare as there are Blacks. * Percent of welfare recipients who are white: 38.8 percent * Percent of welfare recipients who are Black: 39.8 percent Blackmoran: |

The national Census Bureau data show that in 2013, 13.4 million parents had custody of children under the age of 21 while the other parent lived elsewhere, and the aggregate amount of child support received was $22.5 billion. In 2013, almost 83% of custodial parents were mothers. Of all custodial parents, 48% were white (non-Hispanic), 25% were black, 23% were Hispanic, 16% were married, 33% were divorced, 38% were never married, 13% did not have a high school diploma, almost 20% had at least a bachelor’s degree, 50% worked full-time year-round, 29% had family income below poverty, and nearly 43% received some type of public assistance. In 2013, 2.6 million (40%) of the 6.5 million custodial parents with child support orders actually received the full amount of child support that was owed to them. The average yearly child support payment received by custodial parents with payments was $5,181 for mothers and $6,526 for fathers. These full or partial payments represented about 16% of the custodial mothers’ total yearly income and 9% of the custodial fathers’ yearly income. Compared to 1993 Census data, less child support was received by custodial parents in 2013 ($24.8 billion in 1993 versus $22.5 billion in 2013; in 2013 dollars). However, a higher percentage of those owed child support actually received all that they were due (36.9% in 1993 versus 45.6% in 2013). So yes, You must live in the ghetto!! Blackmoran: |

Hmmm... a lot of you are completely off with your theories. African American women are the most educated group in America. Is that ghetto, is that less feminine? Absolutely not. We don’t beg all day to chop someone’s money we are out here getting it. As far as single rates, those numbers are off as well. Yes, there is mass incarceration. However, f what you see on television there are plenty of educated black men. However, as with anything when you have access to different environments and people-sometimes the preference of race based dating (dating your “own” only) isn’t the only priority. The stereotypes we have been forced to believe about each other Africans or AA is insane. Just because there is a myth about Africans being unclean, immoral etc -sounds similar to what you’re told huh? Doesn’t mean it’s true. At all. Try again. 2 Likes |

This dramatic racial gap in marriage matters because marital structure has important implications for the living arrangements and well-being of children. In 2015, about 54% of black children lived with a single mother, while the share of white children living with a single mother was about 22%.1 Differences in family structure are a contributing factor to differences in economic resources. In 2006, 33% of black children were living below the poverty line, while only 14% of white children were.2 A growing body of literature suggests that the conditions under which children grow up matter for their well-being as adults. Carneiro and Heckman (2003) and Cunha et al. (2006), among others, show that differences between children appear at very early ages and that the family environment plays a significant role in generating these differences. Why do black individuals marry at lower rates than white individuals? Wilson (1987) suggests that characteristics of the black male population, and in particular the lack of marriageable black men due to high rates of unemployment and incarceration, are an important factor contributing to the black-white differences in marital status. This is usually referred to as the ‘Wilson hypothesis’. w1n5t0n: |

They are not the bigger problem. It's not the black women that doesn't raise her child right; well other than having a child with a useless man. When you are both mother and father to a child; and unless you can "work from home" which before covid only about less than 25% of households had that luxury, the child will never know a family unit. The woman has to be more man to the family unit than woman because you can't take care of your family without money. Most children are left to fend for themselves, or in the care of their mother's relatives. If the children are lucky, they may be exposed to a male figure authority since past generational males are present in strong female households. Woman that do lower their marriage standards to marry a lesser male will just end up with another man/child to support; the most expensive of all her children!! chigoizie7: 1 Like |

This is a true, but simplistic view of black and white. There are different shades of black and different shades of white. The previous shades of black and white were already mixed!! And not in the same percentages!! Terryishere: |

Philosopher1979: Is it crack that you smoke? Please do your history, real history. Better yet come to America. That is absolutely untrue. Black men are convicted disproportionately but no most black men don’t end up in jail. Even with African American women being the most educated group in the country there is still a wage gap. Black men still remain higher earners usually. Stop watching rap videos and hood movies. All the men that I know are educated with high earnings. Stop the madness and perpetuating white superiority. You’d be surprised at what we are taught about Nigeria. Not the truth about colonialism and white greed that keeps the majority of citizens deeply impoverished. I’m talking about the same stereotypes you’re perpetuating... 2 Likes |

Your comprehension is way off. Women have been and still are paid less than men across the board. That has nothing to do with employment numbers it has everything to do with sexism... I was slightly amused by your fascination with being the bearer of all these untruths but that has worn off. I won’t waste more time interacting with someone who low key has an inferiority complex with black people in America, otherwise you wouldn’t be such a hater. Hater as in jealous, you know jealously like the white people that you uphold feel every time they see our melanated faces. We’re just amazing and dope, despite all the disadvantages historically and today. You are foul. Just like every black man in America is not destined for jail or a deadbeat, I know every Nigerian male is not a yahoo boy, woman beater or womanizer. Every black woman is not ghetto, a baby momma or unfeminine, and Nigerian ladies are not all gold digging ashawos, bleaching their skin or selling their babies.... I’m done exchanging with you. |

She's very lucky to be a Nigerian woman suffering the oppression and suppression from the hands of Nigerian men, the hell with personal freedoms. That's right, keep them barefoot and pregnant and in the kitchen and bedroom at all times. If they can become even a little like AA women that would be a victory for them. So many Nigerian women are living their best lives in the US enjoying their personal freedoms and becoming Black/African American women. That must suck for the controlling Nigerian man. |

The statistic samples from age groups as low as 18. No, most teenagers and college kids are not married, in serious relationships, or living with a partner. When you examine stats for appropriate ages, it's completely different. Something like 84% are NOT single. |
