Um...it's the other way around. ;)
Yes, I suspect that many of the same traits that increase someone’s likelihood of staying in poverty are the same traits that increase someone’s likelihood of committing crimes. Especially in this day and age when anyone can get a decent education if they want one, and there are many ways for someone who is motivated to move up in socioeconomic class.

Alrighty...so the writer has seen no VALID crime statistics that are the proof in the pudding. All cause and effects aside, blacks commit crime at a phenomenally higher rate than other racial groups. But of course that is simply untrue in his eyes.
But numerous scholars have correlated crime to conditions of poverty - and African Americans remain disproportionately poor.
Which leads us to the second part of this gents' statement which completely contradicts his previous sentence. If AA are disproportionately poor, which is true, (thank-you liberal welfare state and the racist, race-baiting black leadership at almost every governmental level) then it follows that the only conclusion that can be drawn from the two points following each other is that blacks DO disproportionately commit crimes.
What a standard, grade a racist this columnist is.
Scholars have correlated a larger number of churches with a larger number of crimes of crime too. What they tried to hide was that the larger numbers of churches were present in a larger community, thus for a given crime rate you have more occurrences. Again, lies, damn lies and statistics.
Yeah, and if that was true conditions of wealth would promote only honest citizens of society...LOLOLOLOL :)...Dumb liberals
