I haven’t met many black Catholics either. Wonder why that is?

[ArrogantBustard]

I see that the headline has been corrected.

All hail MOD, the Great and Powerful!

C'mon ... everyone knows it's the racist Catholic Church policies.

[RegulatorCountry]

To avoid melees outside after mass?

[oh8eleven]

Before or after. :)

Also note:
Non-Hispanic whites account for 69.1 percent of the U.S. population, according to the 2000 Census data. However, because the non-white population is heavily clustered in relatively few counties, the average U.S. county has a population that is 79.6% non-Hispanic white.

What a relief!
For a moment there, I thought they meant Richmond, California,

That's right.
Father's Day is almost here.
Thanks for the reminder.

Thanks for the heat.
Now, how about some light?

14% of black families have two parents, never knew it was that high....

Government policies have been aimed at pushing fathers out of their childrens lives.

AKA...The Fatherland instead of the father.

Freepers are so ignorant about black culture

I used to gag at all the posts in 2008 about how Zer0 had "set back race relations (x) years."

When I was a kid, we used to go to downtown Richmond to Thalhimer’s and Miller & Roads to see the Christmas displays in the windows. Such a shame. Even Monument Avenue has been defaced. Sad.

[Arrowhead1952]

LOL. Just so fitting.

[Gay State Conservative]

Yup...and the breadwinner in most of these households are the poor suckers who,like us,get up 5 (or more) days a week and spends 8 hours (or more) at the office/plant.

“Your population statistics may not match the statistics for numbers of families with kids(with or without fathers).”

I used the census numbers for demographics, however kids may not be spread equally among demographic groups. So your right, it may not be accurate. You could look at the average age in each demographic group and get a better picture.

Thanks, BTW. I wasn’t up to figuring it out this morning...
