There are more white people on food stamps than black people, according to SNAP.

The Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program provides food stamps for almost 47 million Americans. Of those 47 million people, 43 percent of them are white and 33 percent are black. Approximately 19 percent are Hispanic, 2 percent are Asian and the remainder are Native America.


Sure. But let's forget about that thing called percentages. 

Only about 8% of whites are on foodstamps.

About 35% of blacks are.
