Michigan
Out of curiosity, I pulled up The New York Times interactive food stamp map again which breaks down EBT card usage down by race and county. In case you are wondering, it uses 2009 data.
I used it to check the rate of African-American food stamp use in the Michigan counties (Wayne, Berrien, Muskegon, Oakland, Genesse, and Saginaw) where the Detroit Digital Justice Coalition is getting $2 million dollars in federal stimulus money to build computer labs and broadband networks for illiterate black people.
Here is what I found:
Wayne – 38 percent
Berrien – 52 percent
Muskegon – 60 percent
Oakland – 21 percent
Genesse – 52 percent
Saginaw – 49 percent
Some pretty interesting “hate numbers.” What does black food stamp use look like across the whole state? How many black people in each Michigan county are using EBT cards? We combined the Census data with The New York Times data.

Discussion Questions:
(1) How much do blacks in Michigan pay in taxes? How underrepresented are blacks among Michigan taxpayers? What is the “disparate benefit” of black privilege in Michigan?
(2) How much White taxpayer money is spent annually to sustain 39 percent of black people in Michigan with EBT cards?
(3) How many black people in Michigan who are not on EBT cards work in the government-diversity complex?
(4) What is the real black unemployment rate in Michigan? In 2009, 26 percent of black males were officially unemployed in Michigan?
(5) What is the black contribution to violent crime and the underground drug economy in Michigan?
(5) What is racial breakdown in per pupil spending in Michigan schools?
(6) What is the opportunity cost to White taxpayers of this absurd level of malinvestment in the black community?
(7) How is the Michigan political system distorted by sustaining 39 percent of the black population – which votes over 90 percent Democrat – with EBT cards?
(8) Would a “Color of Crime” type study about racial differences in government spending on foodstamps and other forms of welfare be a useful tool in converting libertarians and conservatives to racial awareness?
(9) What happens to Black Michigan on “The Day The EBT Card Stops Working” or “The Day The Government Stops Hiring”?
(10) What happens to our Black World on “The Day The West Stops Subsidizing Population Growth in Africa”?
One last thing: I now understand what Kid Rock was singing about in his song about Northern Michigan!
Note: This post will be updated as we answer some of these questions and probe further into BRA economics in Michigan.
It’s clear that by whatever metric one chooses Blacks receive a disproportionate amount of the welfare in this country from government at all levels.
It would also be interesting to know the percentage of Blacks who do not collect welfare but who derive their income from a government job or by owning a business that benefits from minority set asides or other preferences.
If you add up the following:
1) Blacks who receive some form of welfare
2) Blacks who work in government jobs
3) Blacks who don’t work in government jobs but who benefit from affirmative action or other preferences
It would not surprise me if the number is close to 100%.
Lew,
You just gave me an idea. This is going to be awesome.
*****OFF TOPIC*****
Imagine the cops doing this at a party at a black university?

Look out for those dangerous college drinking parties.
*Yawn*
I guess I’m being to tough on HW. The BRA thing does attract eyeballs, and it’s not like I’ve seen too many blogs that can do as good a job as HW will do with it. And HW isn’t philo-semitic like Amren’s censors, so that’s a plus.
If you add up the following:
1) Blacks who receive some form of welfare
2) Blacks who work in government jobs
3) Blacks who don’t work in government jobs but who benefit from affirmative action or other preferences
It would not surprise me if the number is close to 100%.
Lew, I did some work on just that a few weeks back. I’m pretty sure I saved my data. If it looks worthwhile I’ll post it here so HW can use it.
I didn’t go into 3 though. Too amorphous for my amateur access and skills, I’m sure.
I would include blacks who make a living off government contracts, too. Lots of “welfare” available there.
Total coincidence, the only “openly black” regular poster at Sailer’s blog falls into that category.
Blackopalypse, lol. Sounds like an “exploitation” film.
*sigh*
If I have to explain myself … it is a point of attack, a communication strategy, laugh and learn.
(1) No one but WN bookworms cares about obscure European fascist philosophers and shit like Heideggerian metaphysics.
(2) No one in America but WNs “get” the Jews and judging by the comments at The Occidental Observer it is a bad thing that most of them do.
(3) A broad majority of White people understand and resent blacks including most White liberals – WN is just a small drop in that audience. Just look at the polls. That said, most racial conservatives don’t fully understand the mechanics of the present racial caste system, which is why it isn’t biggest priorities.
(4) White conservatives “get” issues like taxes, spending, and big government more than anything else … and so do libertarians and moderates … which is why we are attacking racial issues through blacks and finance now.
Ever go fishing? Same principle.
Great last comment Hunter.
In addition, getting acceptance of anti-BRA and Southern ethnic identity or White identity would open up the discussion for Jews and everything else. They are deathly afraid of that.
Svigor: WNs want to sound the trumpet and charge the gates of “Castle Zion” in broad daylight. Other tacticians prefer more subversive modes of attack…
Good post, but I have a nit to pick: you need to include % of whites on EBT cards for each of your locations. Control group, y’know.
Riley
Wow. Genius.
You have totally effectively proved that in many places in America, race is correlated with poverty. Awesome work. I mean it is a little awkward for you that you have also given credence to the idea that POC are systemically marginalized and don’t have the same access to employment, and upward mobility, and that poverty is self-reinforcing, but good on you for making the effort.
Of course, you will want to go back and look at your stats so that you can include the 25% of active duty military families that receive food aid from the government, or the 900, 000 veterans who live in households that relied on SNAP benefits in 2011. You wouldn’t want people to get the idea that you only hated black parasites, can’t forget those men and women who served and are now sucking up your tax dollars. In 2012, that was about $100 million dollars of YOUR MONEY that goes to active duty families. I can feel your outrage already. Call your representatives to make sure they cut those vermin off quick.
