As a group Blacks have the largest unemployment numbers so their number on food stamps is not surprising. But whites are the largest number on food stamps. I do find it telling that the states with the most welfare requirements are red states of the South. These are the secessionist, anti union, anti science group so seeing as it is Georgia this should surprise no one. The South required slavery, now it requires food stamps and the majority of government aid.
