Yep, that'll fix it, throw some more tax money at it.

Here we go again -- the droning of the liberal victimization mob. Always starts up when an election is approaching (2008) --- we can expect a huge increase in whining from the standard liberal victimization crowd, the standard playbook stuff, all to keep the "victimized" blacks and latinos (legal and illegal) on the liberal voting plantation.

White households had incomes that were two-thirds higher than blacks and 40 percent higher than Hispanics last year, according to data released today by the Census Bureau.

White "households" are significantly different from black ones. "Household income" is one of the least informative statistics the U.S. government keeps track of.

For several years black females as individuals have made about 98% of what white females make. For black males, it's a different story. This tracks the problems in black male behavior that have been going on since the early 1960s.

It's true I read this quickly, but I somehow missed where the author made the pertinent points about blacks having an 80% illegitimacy rate and how we are importing hispanic poverty through massive immigration of the poorest people in Mexico and Central America.

How about we include the Cultural problems in the Black (and other urban) communities? Crime, fatherlessness, it seems to me that NOW, the urban communities problems are self inflicted. Sure alot of this has to do with racism in the past, but at some time, you have to pick yourself up, and move UP. For far too many urban youth (and now I include Hispanic and even White kids), its too cool be stay in the ghetto subculture.. that is their choice..

Nothing about the huge number of black families headed by single mothers. Want to live in perma-poverty? Don't finish school and have a child out of wedlock. Is it racism that causes that? No.

There are several black families in my upper middle class neighborhood. They got here the same way whites did. They got an education, then they got married, then they had children. Works every time it's tried.

If all the programs that have been around a long time really worked we would no longer need the programs. College is even becoming a guaranteed. Grades don't matter I guess. Lib indoctrination does.

Well we've known for years that whites are all racist. It's inherent to the white race. Just like we all know that racism is a crime found only amongst whites. Blacks and other minorities are much too culturalized and accepting.

And if you can't see all the racial assumptions above you're asleep. But in typical left wing fashion we'll use the government as the great equalizer (and never call it "Jim Crow" - cause when you're discriminating against whites it's called "Affirmative Action"...)

Couldn't be cultural differences accounting for that divide. Nope, no way. /head in sand>

Why aren't Asians included in this study?
Could it be because they are very successful as a "minority" group, and that wouldn't fit with the victim agenda? I know that they are admitted to the UC system in numbers far disproportionate to their percentage of the population.

This article is just another tired attempt to make race/ethnicity an issue, rather then dysfunctional BEHAVIOR.

The rules for success in the US are very straightforward.
Get a good education, work hard, practice thrift/investment, get married and stay married, and you will do just fine.

That is actually what the libs want to do... tax us more so that it can be wasted "on the children". Why don't blacks/hispanic people take education more seriously? No matter how much money is spent on so called education, if young people don't appreciate it and take it more seriously... nothing will improve.

The median income for white households was $50,622 last year. It was .... $60,367 for Asian households.

Discrimination against whites is preventing them from being as rich as Asians.

Blacks are 12 % of the population and Whites are 60% did they take that into account. I know that liberals play it real fast and loose with statistics.

Racial divide still evident.


___________


And getting worse. The media matrix have brainwashed the country.

Black vote 90% +
Jewish vote 87%
Hispanic vote 77%
Muslim vote 90% in VA, don't know nationwide.
Single women, overwhelmingly democrat.

This group think mentality swings MANY elections.

If the white vote was 80-90% Republican you would hear cries of racism and panic in the street, building would burn, but it's alright to brainwash people into voting dim.

Hillary sees these numbers and knows she can win, and who will expose her for what she is, just us, and we're a teardrop in the ocean.

- The median income for white households was $50,622 last year. It was $30,939 for black households, $36,278 for Hispanic households and $60,367 for Asian households.

Ah... But no information regarding demographics of household makeup means that the numbers would be shown to be heavily affected by the (1) family composition, (2) family stability, and (3) educational achievement. The factor of race would then be shown to not be causitive, but rather an artificial correlation of unrelated data.

The information in the article is race-baiting and useless without context, IMO.

Hi All-

Not to mention the distorted and unrealistic aspirations of young black males. They want to be football players, basketball players, just a playa, or a rap artist. If those rare jobs paying millions and showering them with cars and women doesn't happen, they move "downmarket" to becoming a thug. Rarely does one encounter a young black boy who strongly wishes to become a veterinarian, software developer, stock analyst, sales manager, or dentist. Why is that?

Ever wonder why the Libs refuse to address the core root of their perceived problem?

How come self-accountability and owning one's personal responsibilities can never be addressed in the same breath of such articles?

NAAWWW, couldn't ever do that, that might take away from the Socialist agenda!!!

"more funding for preschool programs such as Head Start, improving public schools and making college more affordable."
"The Bell Curve". Head start is an absolute waste. And making colleges free and even paying stipends to the students would not help those with insufficient brainpower to benefit from college [excluding PC crap majors] in the first place. Per Murray/Herrnstein, almost everybody who is college material, is already going there. When there is a cultural premium on learning, it could get translated into a genetic shift by Darwinian selection [it still took the Ashkenazim about 30-50 generations]. Thus the cultural attitudes is the place to start.
