1/ Quick quiz. Imagine 10,000 randomly selected black adults in a large arena. How many of these do you think receive cash "welfare?" I'm gonna let folks guess before offering the answer. And feel free to guess what you THINK most people would say...
I have some very smart Twitter followers...I should have tried this on Donald Trump's Twitter thread...
The answer is fewer than 65. Out of 10k black adults. There are fewer than 185k black adults in the nation getting cash welfare (TANF) out of 30 million African American adults in all, so, fewer than 0.65 percent of black adults are cash welfare recipients.
