“About half of marriages end in divorce. The other half end in DEATH! Don’t get married!”
Depends on where she’s from. Obviously not born/raised in the US, but there are a lot of good choices around the world.
Nope. I ducked several women who would have been a disaster as decades of their own history show. We’ve been married 20+ years and doing fine.
“The thing is, before the welfare state and other policies designed to hold them back, their numbers were actually BETTER than the population as a whole - they would probably be the wealthiest and most prosperous communities but for Dem policies - the same party that has held them back for centuries in one way or the other by design.”
I’m not sure they were doing better, but they were certainly holding their own. I know that Dr. Sowell has pointed out where they (blacks) were doing better than whites (in NYC, I think), but I’m not sure overall. In any case, the Democrats took care of destroying that Progress with the Welfare state, as we all know.
When my son was in 8th grade, they took the top 1/4 of the class in math, and had them skip 8th grade math, and moved them into Algebra 1. At the start of each school year, they have a parent night, and the group the parents were put in were based on what math class the kids were in.
Being a small town, and knew of all the kids and parents in the class. Might not be friends, but knew them all. And here is the kicker and point of my post...
Of the 20 kids in this advanced math group, 19 of them still had their parents married. (One girl lived with her divorced mom). No step families, their actual parents.
Doesn't mean divorced parents don't try. Doesn't mean you can't succeed if your parents are divorced. But this is one example of the huge advantage kids with married parents gain, in regards to educational success.
Funny how closely all three are related, isn't it?
White privilege is a long term, two-parent, stable marriage. It is not a result of government handouts.
Yet another good consequence of the epidemic.
