Peggy Joseph on free stuff, October '08:

"I never thought this day would ever happen. I won’t have to worry about putting gas in my car. I won’t have to worry about paying my mortgage. You know. If I help [Obama], he’s gonna help me.”

If most black households have only 1 parent, no wonder they have less money.

A real DUH moment for this “study”

Sounds like a good reason for children of color to take advantage of the free public education and get a diploma.

And whose fault is this?

The evil, successful white family, or, the 16 year old black girl who can’t keep her panties on, the 17 year old black boy who can’t keep his pants on, who leaves the moment she’s pregnant to go impregnate another ‘ho’ and repeat the cycle?

Wealth = unspent money

The only way you have unspent money is if you don't piss away every penny you get your hands on.

Basically, responsible people who save owe their savings to irresponsible people who piss everything away.

It's a natural consequence of reaching one’s goal of getting old enough with illegitimates to get welfare, WIC, etc.

Perhaps it is because in many white familes there is both a Dad and a Mom who both work instead of just Mom doing it on her own with no support at all from Dad? I was just talking with my Hubby and I wondered out loud if no one had ever told a liberal that life is not fair and can’t be made that way?

Color—blah blah blah—victims—blah blah blah—race-—disadvantaged—blah blah blah—white privilege blah blah blah.
Many Americans are getting tired of it.

Yes, the reason for the poverty is the almost total absence of a stable two parent family.

I suppose this being 2011 I must add that two parent means the one mom and the one dad.

Maybe if they were to stay in school, take responsibility, and do something besides take drugs, pah-tay and dance, they might get the money to raise their kids.

How much does that tenured Harvard professorship pay, Prof. Gates? Maybe you should pay 100% of your income to the government, call me when you’re ready to write that check.

The most of the comments that followed were far more enlightened than the article.

What hurts “children of color” is being stuck in a dysfunctional culture.

The problem would mostly go away if the mothers would stop having children out of wedlock.
