Interesting discussion happening on the #DisabilityTooWhite tag. Also a lot of horseshit.

Table 2, page 28: 4.4 million white recipients, 1 million black recipients. 2% of whites, 2.6% of blacks in 2000. http://www.infoplease.com/us/statistics/us-population-by-race.html …

Meanwhile, according to the Census Bureau, in 2005 whites had an adjusted disability rate of 17.9, blacks of 23.2. http://www.census.gov/people/disability/publications/disab10/table_2.pdf …

2.6/2 = 1.3. 23.2/17.9 = 1.3. We can conclude that disabled blacks get disability benefits at almost exactly the rate disabled whites do.

But yeah, complain about representation in photographs, that's much more important.

@St_Rev This report only shows those receiving Social Security funded benefits. SSI is paid by the general fund, it's means tested. -
It's what I was able to find. If you know of more complete sources, I'd be pleased to look at them.
-
What I'm saying is it shows SSDI, not SSI. And no, bc I don't care who gets it based on race.

Thanks for your input!
