re: These are the people Trump is taking Medicaid away from. Is this what you voted for?

Black people represent 20% of medicaid recipients.
Arent blacks only *13% of the population?

Sorry man. Burden of proof on this topic does not belong to me. It belongs to you.
Basically, I owe you no reasoning. You owe me everything and more if you want to ban it.

I see a fat lazy socialist who doesn’t want to work and be given everything. She appears to be wearing a nightgown or robe in the middle of the day

But thank you for proving my point that white people do not make up the majority of those on medicaid and are underepresented relative to their population size.
Sure. If you think that white people aren't the largest benefactors of Medicaid, wonderful. You're welcome.
I don't guess the crews you've been waiting on are showing up today.

If you don't spend much of your time instigating confrontations, you probably wouldn't understand.

Are you insinuating that owners of certain firearms instigate confrontations?

Did you just ask what is the point of owning something you cannot even bother to define?

Yet another stat that needs per capita context
Black Americans are enrolled in Medicaid at a rate about 47% higher than their share of the population.
Okay but the fact that more black americans are on medicaid than their share of the population does not mean if you pulled a random medicaid recipient out of a hypothetical bag that it would be more likely to be black than white.
White people make up the plurality of people on medicaid. Hispanic + Black does not even make up half of the medicaid recipients but it is close (~48%).
So that is the fairer comparison of "more likely than white" but it takes adding the two largest ethnic groups besides white/european descent together.

They are working.
But since you are interested in my day, I went and checked on 3 houses they are working on earlier, then came back home to deal with some emails from clients. I would normally take a nap by now but I am working on building a roof bid for a house in Port Arthur that my Texas crew inspected today for a client. Just paid for the Eagle View report but I am working on other details for the bid in Repair Base while I wait on the report and am also posting here. Working late today but it will be worth it once the client approves this bid sometime next week.
Going to a friend's birthday party/dinner later.
What are your plans?

You worked really hard to prove nothing and still reaffirm that white people are underrepresented with regards to who is on Medicaid
Posted on 7/9/25 at 3:11 pm to UtahCajun
Yep.

Your chart shows that certain ethnicities are underrepresented by population makeup while others are overrepresented.
Yeah, and why are Hispanics, at 31%, so much more than blacks, at 18.5%? Supposedly, their population sizes in the US are about the same. Is that due to illegal immigration?

Well, sideways shooters of the Taurus brand of 9mm certainly do look for confrontations.

I agree. Who needs an AR15 vs just a normal Ruger Mini 14

I'll go pick up the baby from daycare when I leave work and will spend the night at home with my family.

I'm not trying to work hard for anything...I just opened a government demographics website and pointed out that hand waving about black people being on medicaid more than whites simply not being true.
Frankly, the overrepresentation of the hispanics on medicaid is more concerning. At least we sorta know that black poverty has a lot of historical context. We've just been letting people over our borders and onto the public charge much too easily along our southern border. Everyone else from across the world has to pedantically prove they'll be self-sufficient to get in the door not just walk over the Rio Grande.

This argument isn’t over whether her ethnicity was representative; it was over whether her skin color was. Many hispanics and Asians are just as light skinned as white people.

You would be extremely wrong. The overwhelming cases of gun violence is comitted with handguns. Overwhelmingly used by the demographic you claim are unjustly persecuted.
