Are you attempting to say that there should be more unemployed caucasians based on this data, or that their are a disproportionate amount of african-american SNAP users in comparison to their population?
The purpose was to illustrate that their is a large percentage of whites who are economically struggling and rely on some form of government assistance. It is not only blacks who are using food stamps.

There are certainly people of all races struggling. The chart is misleading though.
In Alabama's 1st Congressional district:
43% of SNAP households are white. But only 25.3% of white households use SNAP.
51.9% of SNAP households are black. But only 21.8% of black households DON'T use SNAP. So nearly 80% of black households are using SNAP.

Well of course not. Every measurable body of people is going to have it's high performers and it's low performers. But when caucasians have 77% of the population and 40% of the food stamp users while african americans have 13% of the population and 26% of the foodstamps what's the larger issue to be solved?
