I think statisticbrain misrepresents the stats. The 38.8 percent and 39.8 percent numbers are figures for poor single mothers receiving AFDC (Aid to Families with Dependent Children) assistance. Welfare in general is 61 percent white, 33 percent black.
Social Security, including disability payments, interestingly, is 88.7 white and 9.6 percent black.
The article has a lot more specifics. I don't know this blog at all, but the article seems pretty legit.
