A culture of blaming poor people - instead of insufficient wages, among other things - for the problems associated with poverty is why it's so hard for our country to even make a dent in widespread poverty. Living on government assistance often doesn't even get people TO the poverty line, and the poverty line is certainly not considered desirable and many don't even consider it truly livable. If you think all of that is "BS" you really need to educate yourself about the causes of poverty.[/quote]

Um, around 75% out of wedlock birthrate for AAs in DC and nation-wide, and 3% for Asian Americans.  Nobody puts a gun to one's head and forces one to reproduce without a stable family structure in the mix.  No problem in Sweden, where the state provides the necessary childrearing inputs.  Big problem in DC.

Nobody put a gun to the head of DC's poor and forced them to make bad decisions for themselves.  They did it entirely on their own.  AA girls aren't holding guns to AA boys' heads and forcing them to have sex.  And, "so many AA men are incarcerated, separating families" - boo frickin hoo.  If incarceration's so horrible to AA families then don't do the damn crimes in the first place, then.  And incarcerated with a kid to look after?  In that case you were DEFINITELY supposed to be looking after the kid, not out screwing around, let alone committing crimes.

Choices.  Make the right choices.  And stop pretending you have none to make.[/quote]
