Virginia: The Color of Welfare

Virginia

In Virginia, White people are 66.3 percent of the population and African-Americans are 20 percent of the population. Hispanics are 7.2 percent of the population, but are counted as White in EBT card statistics.

There are 1,576,518 African-Americans in Virginia. How many of them are on foodstamps?

Percent of African-Americans in Virginia on EBT Food Cards: 22 percent

Thankfully, The New York Times has a convenient tool that allows us to see the color of welfare in Virginia. At a glance, we can contrast White usage with African-American usage.

Whites on EBT Cards in Virginia:

African-Americans on EBT Cards in Virginia:

Source: “Food Stamp Usage Across the Country,” The New York Times.

In 2009, an average of 651,725 people participated each month on SNAP EBT cards. If 344,236 of them were African-American, that means African Americans were 53 percent of EBT card users in 2009.

African-Americans are 26 percent of poor people in Virginia. Yet they account for 53 percent of EBT card users.

In 2009, the average monthly foodstamp benefit was $118 in Virginia, and the average annual benefit was $1,416.

If there were 344,286 African-Americans on EBT cards in 2009, the federal government must have spent around $487,508,976 in Virginia to sustain 22 percent of the African-American population on life support.

Similarly, there were 167,900 African-Americans on Medicaid in Virginia in 2009, when a total of $5,774,994,043 was spent on the Medicaid program, which means that $923,999,046 (at a minimum) was spent by the federal government on black healthcare.

What is the effect of this?

Spending $1.4 billion dollars of taxpayer money in 2009 alone to subsidize the black underclass  in Virginia? Not including housing or cash assistance payments.

Remember, the Bone Thugs ‘N Harmony song, 1st of Da Month? With your taxpayer dollars, the federal government creates a moral hazard through “legalized robbery” with EBT cards, Medicaid, and subsidized housing that allows the African-American underclass to expand beyond its natural limits.

Essentially, this is what happens: Jomika is a welfare queen in Richmond who dropped out of Rosa Parks High School to live in the Booker T. Washington projects on Martin Luther King Boulevard with her sperm donor, Duquan. Thanks to libtards, they get free food at the Super Wal-Mart on the “1st of tha Month” and more money from the federal government when they engage in irresponsible behavior and have more kids.

When you get money from the government that allows you to have food, a cell phone, internet access, a house, healthcare, spending money, and an education for your kids, you are freed from all the responsibilities of manhood and using your time productively to earn a living to support yourself and your family.

Morality becomes impractical.

You can sit in the projects and watch BET or Black Starz (maybe read NewsOne, if you can do that) … or you can, say, do things with your idle time like impregnate more welfare queens and sell crack and other illicit drugs on the black market for profit, where your competition, which has been similarly relieved of all the responsibilities of having to deal with reality, have the same ideas you do about how to get ahead in life.

Virginia: Rape Offenders (2008)

Virginia: Robbery Offenders (2008)

Virginia: Homicide Offenders (2008)

See, it is the “1st of the Month” that naturally and inevitably leads to “Tha Crossroads.”

If these African-American gentlemen had spent “Da 1st of the Month” working for a living (i.e., like White people) instead of slanging crack and impregnating welfare queens and all the other things that self described “thugs” glorify (like fighting the police), they wouldn’t be robbing and shooting each other in the ghetto and meeting up at “Tha Crossroads.”

What’s more, it is “Tha Crossroads” that naturally leads to “No Surrender.”

As violence spirals out of control in the Booker T. Washington projects, more police officers have to be hired to protect citizens and patrol the ghetto after Demetrius pops a cap in Duquan, more prisons have to be built to cage Demetrius for the rest of his life, and more African-Americans get “diversity jobs” in the private (and public sector) on the basis of the theory that role models like Barack Hussein Obama are necessary to inspire black youth.

The root cause of this is the economic distortion that is created in Virginia and other states with large black populations. It is all based on the absurd libtard idea that poverty is the cause of crime and that “social justice” requires robbing White people to redistribute wealth to blacks.

In Black Run America, the highest moral principle of our society is that black people are noble beings and that the neverending utopian project of uplifting blacks takes precedence over White freedom and property rights.

So what happens is that the government builds housing projects for welfare queens which have welfare babies who grow up to be thugs because the government has robbed them of their manhood.

Then the government has to rob White people even more because of the various unintended consequences create distortions throughout the economy. The misallocation of White wealth which is squandered on “investment” in the black community hampers economic growth and development that would otherwise take place.

We are only scratching the surface here.

Estimating the cost of Black Run America to one state in one year could prove impossible – it is beyond quantification. We also have to look at the connection between interest rates and the capital that is squandered on blacks, the White taxpayer dollars that are squandered on black education, and the insurance industry and the property damage unleashed every year by these welfare gremlins.

We also have to look at housing and the home security industry and every other way Whites in Virginia and the South have adapted to living in the racially maladaptive environment that is Black Run America.

Imagine Virginia … without African-Americans, without the distortions in our society created by the federal government.

Update:


In 2009, there were an average 75,530 recepients of TANF benefits (aka “welfare) per month. In 2006, the average TANF benefit per individual was $154 in 2006. In 2008, 62 percent of TANF families were African American or 46,828 of TANF recepients.

These aren’t the most accurate numbers (we will try to find more information), but we can use them to arrive at a ballpark estimate of the amount of African-Americans who were on welfare in Virginia in 2009 and how much money they received from the government.

There were about 906,360 total recepients of TANF benefits in 2009. If African-Americans were 62 percent of TANF families (a reasonable assumption), that means 561,951 total African-Americans (through multiple checks) were on welfare in Virginia, and were receiving an average of $1,848 per year as individuals.

If we run those numbers, we find that African-Americans in Virginia received something in the neighborhood of $1,038,466,968 dollars in TANF welfare in 2009, and when we combine that figure with the amount they are getting in EBT cards and Medicaid, we arrive at an estimate of $2.48 billion dollars being spent on them.

Does a sane society invest $2.48 billion dollars a year (not including prison costs or subsidized housing) in a community that produces 81.2 percent of robberies, 43.6 percent of rapists, and 64 percent of homicides?

Update:


In 2009, African-Americans were 62.2 percent of prisoners and Whites were 35.9 percent of prisoners in the Virginia Department of Corrections system.

In FY 2009, $1,049,492,091 was spent in Virginia on the prison system, which means that at least $652,784,080 dollars was wasted on maintaining idle blacks in prison. The average cost to taxpayers of maintaining an inmate in a Virginia prison was $24,665 per year in 2009.

  1. It might prove impossible to quantify, but you are at least trying. This is impressive work.

  2. We have only looked at EBT Cards and Medicaid here.

    It turns out there is also “Temporary Assistance to Needy Families” (TANF), Section 8 Housing, “Energy Assistance,” “General Relief,” and many other things. “Welfare” is TANF, not so much EBT cards.

    This is just the first shot in what will eventually become a comprehensive page about race, crime, and welfare in Virginia. I’m also going to go back to Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina and chart the numbers there.

    Something else I have learned this morning:

    – 5 percent of medical school graduates in VA are black.
    – There are 38,092 prisoners in the Virginia state prison system which consumes 7.6 percent of the Virginia general fund.

  3. Wah wah wah…We’ve been robbing people for centuries. Fuckin’ republicants. Can dish it out but can’t take it.

  4. Section 8 stats would be helpful. Even small landlords in marginal neighborhoods will Section 8 their property. The effect of Section 8 on the real estate price collapse would be interesting. Has Section 8 supported real estate prices, or further driven them down. I tend to think Section 8 has been bad for property value & real estate prices?

    Keep up all of your good work!!!

  5. look at Oregon though… in one county, more than 90 percent of Black people are on EBT cards…

  6. ArthurBremer, don’t be a douche. We all live in the here-and-now. What may or may not have happened in the past is neither my concern nor my burden.

  7. Interesting data. In my Southern state capital our previous negro police chief was “inventive” when it came to reporting crime stats to the FBI. Stacks of Uniform Crime Statistics Reports just sat until they were destroyed. When he left and a white police chief took over, it was astonishing that the crime rate, especially for our, ahem, minority population, skyrocketed. We even found out that many gangs had somehow shown up, including the bad ones like MS13. What I intend to say by this short story is to warn all against assuming that official data is accurate. There are those that know what you are doing with this data, telling the truth and they will hide the knowledge. As most of you already know, tricks like skewing white data by including hispanics in totals are taking place. I believe it will not be long before such data disappears. Just a thought.

  8. Southern Man’s commentary is correct; same thing happened in Phila and I imagine ALL heavily black cities

  9. Wow..I simply clicked on this website to do research on the welfare system. Now that I have read all of your information and the comments that were added by what I can only believe are more like minded individuals, I will have to delete your information until I can verify it. You should put a disclaimer on your page that let’s innocent people like myself know that it is racist propaganda. As far as blacks or whites on welfare, I have come across a number of whites on welfare also. As someone in the legal field, I must say that black, white, or whatever, there needs to be a change in our Welfare system. How about stopping the out- sourcing, doing away with student loans, limiting the number of children one is allowed to have, closing our borders, and putting all persons who fail to pay taxes in jail. I do hope that everyone who commented above is a registered voter and taxpayer, because if not, you should not comment on anything related to the running of this country.

  10. I am very well versed on poverty im a survivor of it. Those programs do have a purpose whether u like it or not. I was a teen mother with nothing i worked and went to school. I just received my ten year nursing pin withou these programs could not have i don’t need to tell u how wrong u are u are fully aware of it. What about the ratio of white to black child molesters. Crickets! !

  11. @smitty

    Statistically, reported sex-crimes against children are more prevalent in the nigger community than in the white community. The number is probably higher still, as many niggers often refuse to report sex-crimes to the police, since it was often a family member having commited the crime in question.

    PS – Get an abortion next time, nigger.

  12. Well done Chris.

    Furthermore, the rate of teen pregnancy in the fithy nignog population is vastly higher than that of the white population. Teenage/underage pregnancy is a form of PROOF of molestation.

  13. I came here looking to find information for my nonprofit organization…. and all I can say is, Fuck You Guys. It’s real easy to sit behind the screen of a computer and point fingers to bitch about what you think the Other Guys’ problems are. That’s how to be a true pussy. The reality is, the man (as I’m quite sure it’s a white male with a smart phone and a mortgage and a heart of self-obsession) who wrote this >>>>>IS<<<<< the problem, YOU are the problem, I am the problem. The problem is not remotely related to ethnicity or race…it is wholly, completely, and inseparately the effect of people who are too selfish, egotistal, and lazy to get off their own shiny ass and go help somebody. You want the world to change? Get the fuck off the internet and go get your hands dirty. Go volunteer at a homeless shelter. Go drop off food and supplies at a battered women's home. Get your own holy roller degree and go teach. Give your money to the local youth center. raise your own children in integrity and wisdom. Do SOMETHING. DO anything but sit here and watch the world spin by and carry your empty words into the wind.

  14. well in in southern california the Iraq refugee’s are in a city El Cajon and driving BMW’s to the welfare office, they just got the mayor to resign because he called them out freebees !
