Sounds like a hard work and thrift gap, not a racial gap.

K, I’m just gonna step right up and say it. Generally, I do not believe in blaming the parents of kids gone bad, but in this case, I do.

It is safe to blame a lot of black youth’s problems on their mothers. The same mothers who don’t make them get their ass out of bed and go to school. The same mothers who teach the culture of poverty, and perpetuate the lifestyle.

I am not saying all black mothers are to blame, but a lot of them are.

Oh, the fathers? Well, see, they’re not there, because their fathers weren’t there because somewhere in the past, some black mom didn’t say to her son “You wanna act all grown up and have babies? Get a ring on that girl, and get a job, and make a home.” (hint to mothers: sometimes, this speech is best delivered while you are standing on a kitchen chair).

I am also not saying this problem is confined to blacks, but since all the stats apply to blacks, well, that’s my opinion.

Black students are significantly less likely to attend schools offering advanced math and science courses than white students

Yes.

Assuming the accuracy of those “facts”, why is any of that the fault, or even the concern, of white people? How am I involved in that? Why do I need to hear more about it?

Blacks kill people at a rate seven times that of non-blacks.

Any discussion of race needs that fact on the table.

The only whites that don’t get it have their butts firmly planted in media and government jobs where they’re well isolated from reality.

Just another “all black problems are whitey’s fault” by another deluded, white lib. Move along.

I agree. Whites don’t get it. White leftists are the biggest problem for blacks - and whites - in this country.

“Indeed, a 2011 study by scholars at Harvard and Tufts found that whites, on average, believed that anti-white racism was a bigger problem than anti-black racism.”

This is good news. I knew the liberals would wear out that race card. Obama has set race relations back 40 years and whitey just doesn’t care anymore.

It’s worth noting that welfare recipients are limited in net worth to qualify for welfare payments so their reported net worth numbers are either low balled or part of the welfare culture

Not recognizing why this “racial divide” is being perpetuated has nothing to do with such lofty counter arguments being offered by the political opposition on “equality” or “justice”. It’s to keep the blacks riled up so that any talk of censure or impeachment become unrealistic.

Those discussions are viewed with glee and laughed at by the democrats because it first of all lends credability to their lying assertions and diverts focus from the real reason why the those in power are using this political device known as division. It’s to keep the democrats unquestioningly in power.

The end game for Race baiters is genocide. Africa is a prime example of
what they want ending with killing all the White Farmers who feed them.

American Negroes are serfs meant to stay stupid and ignorant of reality.
And by god, it's working well for the Democrat party.

If your net worth is too high, you can't get welfare. Shame on those hard working middle and upper class blacks for skewing the numbers.

BTW, who is the richest woman in the world?

Just imagine what she couldn't have done if she had bought into this crap, herself.

Here’s my attention, generational entitlements, drug and alcohol abuse, domestic violence, fatherless homes, unwed dependent mothers, illegitimate children, gangs, support embrace and encourage the thug lifestyle these are personal issues they need to be responsible for and will not. Allowing the rats who control the candyman plantation owner black national caucus who freely hand out tax payer money through infinite programs and scams keeping them all down on the farm. Until these communities and people realize this and want to change this the lie of American racism is the blame for thier woes is just that a lie. Explain the millions of black professionals and business owners in America. Oh the media the racebaiters, the plantation owners and the politicians want to hide this success story

Maybe the idea of “racism” has bacome such a joke the last few years. Not everything, such as disagreeing with someone’s policies, is racism, but never fails someone will call almost anything they believe a colored person doesn’t like.....racist.

It is past time to end the fiction of the Black community. There is a series of black subcultures that fragment the community at large.

The lazy unproductive gibsmedat black subculture that is the urban cancer are lumped with the productive educated motivated integrated black subculture. They are not a homogeneous group other than by skin color.

The latter are constantly being harmed by the former. The leadership cunningly and deceitfully uses the former as a tool to take from the latter.
until racism is purged from the Black community there will be no peace

I suggest that blacks don't get it: we don't want the ghetto lifestyle spread throughout the country. Keep in mind that only 12% of the people in Ferguson voted so if they want more blacks in local government, they should vote.

No Nickie it’s Blacks who just “get it.” We’ve given them a lifestyle that is better than the average working self sufficient person around the world and they proved with Ferguson that it is not enough and it will never be enough. This Shiite ends now. Let them find jobs and work like everybody used to before their president came to office.
