This may be the reason.

A recent study by Northwestern University showed that minority youth spend an average of 13 hours per day watching television, texting, listening to music, and playing video games. That's 4.5 hours more than white youth.

Maybe that explains why 27.78% of the black population and 11.47% of the hispanic population is on welfare while only 5.27% of the white population is.

My question is this: if they're so poor they can't feed or shelter themselves, where do they get the money for iPods, DVR's, cable, video game equipment, cellphones, etc.? Disgusting, isn't it?
