Just so we’re all clear on what we just read. Black people make up 22% of the poor but only 14% of the government benefits. Meaning, 8% of poor Black people are not taking government benefits when they need them.

While, white people make up 42% of the poor but receive 69% of the government benefits. Meaning, there are white people who are classified as middle class who are receiving government benefits. 

…but welfare queens and stuff.

LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT!

Black people make up 22% of the poor BUT only 14% of the government benefits.

White people make up 42% of the poor BUT receive 69% of the government benefits.

This needs to go viral.

This is essential piece of information revealing racial bias AGAINST Black people in receiving government benefits.

Never again do I want to hear about White people living in poverty.

Never again do I want to hear about Black people living on government benefits. 

Reblog this. Over and over again. POST IT ON EVERY SOCIAL MEDIA SITE WHERE YOU HAVE AN ACCOUNT.

Three years ago, Bruno Mars became a worldwide superstar with a string of smash hits.  But before that, he struggled for years to make it, and reveals that one of the barriers to his becoming a pop star was his race.

Bruno is Puerto Rican, Jewish and Filipino.  In the cover story of the new issue of Entertainment Weekly, he says that when he and his songwriting partners came up with a song called “Nothin’ on You,” Bruno figured it was his ticket to the big time.  But when he brought it to a music industry decision-maker — a guy he won’t name — the reaction shocked him.

“He goes, ‘Oh man, oh man, what a song,’” recalls Bruno.  But then, he says the guy told him, “You know what kind of white artist we could break with this?  Blond hair, blue eyes, we could make this kid the next thing!”

“It was just kinda sad,” Bruno tells EW.  “It was like, ‘Man, what about the kid that played you the song and wrote it and produced it…what about that guy?’”

That experience, Bruno said, made him feel like a “mutant,” and he says that was his lowest point. “Even with that song in my back pocket to seal the deal, things like that are coming out of people’s mouths. It made me feel like I wasn’t even in the room.”

Thankfully, the story has a happy ending.  “Nothin’ on You” went on to become a #1 hit for Bruno and rapper B.o.B.  It was nominated for three Grammys, and it launched Bruno on what’s became one of the hottest pop careers of the decade.

Look you guys post-racial!!!!

I’m not surprised this only has 200 notes. True shit is ignored.

SEEEEEE!!!!

Not surprised by this at all.

My first thought was welcome to what being black feels like.. Not surprised..

i’m sure there are many practical reasons for this but i hate it when they refuse to name the racist idiots in these anecdotes. by all means, please publicly out these bastards and let us crucify the fuck out of their reputations and careers.

I want it to rain today.

Looking back, I’m not the same man I was when I was 10.

Here’s to another round.
