Oh really? Single digits?
As of June 2011 there were 45,183,931 people on food stamps. Of that 35% are white or 15,814,375 white people. 22% are African American, or 9,940,264 black people. Given that there are roughly 220,000,000 white people and roughly 40,000,000 African Americans in America, that comes out to just over 7% of white people are on food stamps, and just under 25% of African Americans are on food stamps.
25% might be single digits in your world, but not mine.
According to

- 39% white: 11,661,000
- 38% black: 11,362,000
According to

- US population: 313,544,041
- White: 72.4%: 227,005,885
- Black: 12.6%: 39,506,549
Math time!:
Whites: 11.661,000 / 227,005,885 * 100 = 5.13%
Blacks: 11,362,000 / 39,506,549 * 100 = 28.75%
Uh oh, those single digits again!
"Police protection" is an oxymoron. Gun laws are like masturbation, they both feel really good, but after you're done you realize you haven't accomplished anything."
