But we do know that race and poverty are correlated. And we know that poverty and crime are correlated.

Interesting point that I will make. In 1950 the poverty rate in the U.S. was roughly 50%.

By 1965 the poverty rate in the U.S. had fallen to under 15%.

That is when Johnson decided to start his "war on poverty" in order to break up the black family and have the 'blacks' voting Democrat for the next 200 years.

After 60 years and trillions of welfare dollars spent the poverty rate in the U.S. is still at 15%.

Go figure.

Yep. Of course poverty and crime are not really correlated or else we shoul expect the crime rate in the 50s to have been much hight per.

We have a “fatherhood” problem, not a poverty problem.

Look up the definition of poverty. At least the one the government defines and uses for policy making. It is not an objective standard but a floating one that will never allow the stated rate to go much below 15% let alone 0.

By this definition the war on poverty can never be won.
