The government shutdown lasted for forty-three days, making it the longest shutdown in American history. One of the biggest issues to arise from the shutdown was the ending of SNAP (supplemental nutrition assistance programs). More than 42 million Americans use the program for food assistance. While there are people who genuinely need the assistance, many antiwhites were in uproar because they have been abusing the system to fund their basic needs while using other money to go on vacations, get their nails done, and buy expensive luxury goods. Many videos can be seen on TikTok and other platforms of antiwhite Nonwhites admitting to this, which has made vocal what many have either known or suspected for years. One of the most notable videos can be seen below, where an antiwhite Black woman encourages other antiwhites to start robbing White people once benefits end.

According to the Pew Research Center, as of April 2023, SNAP recipients receive on average $181.72 per person and $343 per household per month for benefits. While it is impossible to know how many abuse taxpayer money for their own aggrandizement, those numbers add up quickly to thousands of dollars that taxpayers have to give of their hard-earned money to people who are perfectly capable of taking care of themselves.
SNAP Benefits by race
People have been quick to point out that Whites are the largest percentage of SNAP recipients, which is correct. Below is a column chart made from data from the USDA that showcases SNAP recipients by race.

However, what these people fail to account for is per capita. Using population data from the 2023 Census Bureau and using it to estimate per capita based on SNAP recipient percentages, about
1 in 13 Whites are on SNAP
1 in 4 Blacks are on SNAP
1 in 8 Hispanics are on SNAP
1 in 15 Asians are on SNAP
1 in 6 American Indians are on SNAP
Meaning that out of all the major racial groups, Whites are the second-to-last group to receive benefits, coming behind Asians. Now, that begs the question, are Whites paying the majority of taxes to fund this despite being the second least likely group to receive benefits from it? That can be difficult to determine exactly since race is not an asked question when filing taxes. However, social security does keep data on contribution by race which can be seen in the chart below

Although social security does not go towards funding SNAP, if we assume the statistics remain consistent for other contributions that taxes go towards since deduction from income is always based on amount earned, Whites would be the second-largest contributors. Only coming behind “all other races” which would encompass Asians. So what does that mean for us? Our tax dollars are funding too many people who publicly admit they are abusing the system. People who were decrying “no kings!” a few weeks ago were begging for the “king” to take care of them. Now that the shutdown is over, there are new restrictions being put in place for who is eligible to receive benefits. However, in a non-antiwhite world, admitting to abusing the system when no benefits were set to be paid would get them immediately redacted. The sad reality is that people like those who admit to abusing the system take away from the validity of people who actually need the extra help. We must work towards a world where people are in charge of our own countries again so our hard-earned tax dollars go to people that need them. This will be beneficial to everyone, regardless of race, who live in this country.
Note: This article is in no way meant to discount those who genuinely need help. If you are someone in need of assistance, you can check out https://www.feedingamerica.org/ to find a local food bank in your area. Many other nonprofits like churches can usually assist as well. Check local newspapers, churches, and Facebook groups to see if there if someone who can help.
