Probably because African Americans only make up 12% of the American population? Not sure where you're going with this. Not to mention, African Americans are higher than any other race in the U.S. in percentage of them unemployed, and on food stamps and/or welfare. The majority of them can't afford to go to these things. Besides the republicans "don't do anything for them" as I've been told many times. Because, you know, the government's job is to be your daddy.

Except there are as many white people on welfare. Also red states claim more welfare than blue states, and one of the largest groups of people claiming food stamps actually work their asses off, but because they work for walmart they don't make enouh money to feed their families forcing the government to subsidize them. We could save the tax payers a shit ton of money if corporations paid good wages that people could live on.

Omg... Where to even start? When you say "as many", you mean number of people on welfare. Yes I agree with you. But what you are missing, is the fact that whites make up a much larger portion of our population than blacks. Red states like Louisiana have many many African Americans and illegal immigrants than the blue states do. And those two minorities make up a HUGE chunk of the welfare in the U.S.
And do you realize what happens when a corporation is forced to raise their wages? They have to cut costs and the first action they take is to cut employees. So if wages go up, so does unemployment. Wages will rise when unemployment is low because corporations will have to essentially get into a bidding war to hire someone. But at the moment there is NO SHORTAGE of people who can work a cash register or flip burgers.
Now that I've disproven everything you mentioned. NEXT...
