If by welfare, you mean the TANF program, in 2010 there was a total of around 4.4million people of all races receiving aid. If 34% of recipients are black, that means around 1.5 million black people are on TANF. There are about 9.4 million black households in the United States. Therefore the percentage of black households that are on TANF would be close to 16%. The actual number of people might be different depending on the average number of people in a household.
According to the 2010 Census, 13.6% identify themselves as Black or African-American. This includes those that identified themselves as Latino. Nearly all South American countries have black populations. Those that identifies themselves exclusively as Black or African American was 12.6%. However, 0.6% of those identified themselves as White African-Americans (think of South Africa). Therefore, if you're looking for the percentage of US residents with black skin, 13.0% is the most accurate figure. But this obviously does not include very dark-skinned Latinos that refuse to identify themselves as Black.
If you use those who are supported by Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF)--best described as a federal largess to indigent families with dependent children--as stated by the Dept. of Health the data suggests 1.7% of the total population that derive over 50% of their income from Welfare supports.
The number stated that receive any portion of their support from from welfare assistance--including food stamps--it is 29,900,000 or roughly 8% of the total population in the United States.
This breaks down to:
39% white 11,661,000 of 29,900,000 recipients
38% black 11,362,000 of 29,900,000
17% Hispanic 5,083,000 of 29,900,000
The strictest sense of the term though would be those getting income directly from the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services which is about 8% of the total population that receives some form of assistance and 1.7% that receive most of their income (50% or more) from these programs.
Programs like unemployment insurance or social security payments can technically be counted as "welfare" in some instances though they are differentiated from federal programs like TANF or food stamps.
Problems with the above answer:
There are 319 million people in the USA. 8% of 319 million is 25 million people Caucasians at 29million plus AA at 29 million plus others at 17 million does not add up to 25 million. That's 75 million or 23.5% of the total population.
I honestly don’t think we’re going to be able to find that answer out. Because whenever someone asks what percentage of blacks are on welfare what we’re told is what percent of welfare participants are black. They constantly ignore this question. My assumption is because it’s around 75%. But that is just an assumption.
The percent of those in welfare that are black is ~37%. What % of blacks are on welafre.... I don't know.
In the United States, Black Americans make up about 25% of welfare recipients, according to data from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Answer: How many racist A-Holes are posting stupid questions that prove their total lack of brain cells or self awareness???
A lot less then there are whites.
37% of welfare recipients are Black

There are more white Americans than black Americans receiving welfare benefits in the United States. This is primarily due to the larger percentage of the white population in the country. However, when looking at the proportion of each group that receives welfare, black Americans are more likely to be on welfare compared to white Americans.
According to U.S. Census data, the percentage of individuals on welfare varies by race, with white Americans having the largest number of individuals on welfare due to the size of the population. However, the percentage of Black Americans on welfare is higher in proportion to their population size.
As of 2021, approximately 11% of the population in Georgia receives welfare benefits.
Around 48% of welfare recipients voted in the 2012 presidential election.
While African Americans are more likely to receive welfare benefits than whites, the majority of welfare recipients in the United States are white. Socioeconomic factors play a significant role in determining eligibility for and receipt of welfare benefits.
28,000 on welfare
It is not appropriate or accurate to make assumptions about the demographic makeup of those receiving welfare benefits based on their race. Welfare assistance programs are intended to support individuals and families in need, regardless of their race or ethnicity. Data on welfare recipients is often aggregated and presented in such a way that respects the privacy and dignity of those receiving assistance.

There is no definitive data comparing the exact percentage of gay individuals among different racial groups in America. Sexual orientation is complex and influenced by a variety of factors beyond race. It's important to avoid generalizations and assumptions about the demographics of LGBTQ+ individuals.
In the United States, around 40% of welfare recipients are white. It is important to note that welfare recipients come from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds.
