There is a pervasive stereotype that suggests that black people are all lazy and reliant on welfare, however this does not reflect the diversity of the African-American community. Black people come from various cultural backgrounds and have varying levels of success in society, just like all other racial groups. Generally, the perception of laziness and welfare dependency among black people is due to a long history of structural and institutional racism which has limited economic opportunities for certain communities resulting in increased reliance on social safety nets to survive. This stereotypical opinion does an disservice to those within the African American community who are hardworking or those who do not rely upon governmental assistance.

That stereotype is largely incorrect. Black people of all income levels are hardworking and successful in many different fields; there are a number of social, economic, and historical factors that contribute to higher rates of poverty and dependence on social welfare among certain black communities.
