Bull. The average age thing looks dramatic until you take a closer look. Turns out more blacks die in infancy - drug abusing mothers... mothers too young to have children - mothers without husbands... That takes a toll. White lower class women who make the same choices also hurt their offspring. But the numbers are higher for blacks.
Then factor in higher than average black teen crime, inadequate parenting, sexual promiscuity with higher rates of AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases, teen gang membership, longer criminal records ( yeah - crime is a dangerous occupation) and a picture starts to emerge.
If a black man works his whole life - at a legal job - and has on average the same marital history - and retires - his life expectancy isn't that much different than a while male who does the same.
So it's you, nonstatist who needs to get real...
Untrue. Life expectancy for a black male is 14 years less than a white male; attributable to not only infancy mortality but also poor health habits, genetic susceptablity to heart and other diseases, higher accident rates , victims of violence and so on. Lots of it their "own fault", etc, but a fact nonetheless.
Denial is not just a river in Egypt. Oh, and I dont give a fig if this doesent jibe with your personal reality template.
Exactly that? Is that the new criteria for deserving Social Security? Being average?
