[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Black men commit half the violent crimes in this country despite being about 6% of the population, over 70% of black children are born out of wedlock, abd black men have huge incarceration, high school
dropout and unemployment rates. But, hey, white men are the problem. [/quote]

First, black men are [u]arrested[/u] for half the violent crimes in this country. White men are not as often arrested for the same infractions. So you're not comparing apples to apples.

70% of black children are born to single mothers, which has stayed about the same for decades. Over 50% of Hispanic children and over 30% of white children are also born to single mothers. And over 40% of children overall are born in poverty. But it is [b]white men[/b] voting for candidates who oppose any social supports to help those children, and it is [b]white men[/b] voting for candidates who oppose better access to birth control and abortion, so yes, they are a problem.

So you are saying that black men and black people have no responsibility or ownership over their own lives and choices? Wow. [/quote]

I was talking about children being born into poverty, no, they need adults to vote on policies to help them, and white men consistently vote to screw them[/quote]
Some of their parents do a pretty good job of screwing everything up for them too. They are grown adults with brains and free will and there is no excuse. You can’t blame everything on white men. [/quote]

I've seen more than a few parents in poverty who were just teenagers or barely out of their teens. Turns out their parents and grandparents were in that same situation. Very few teens (even UMC ones) would be able to succeed on their own with a setup like that. Generational poverty passed down.
My family were immigrants. They were white collar in the country they came from, but did blue collar work in the US. We initially grew up in the inner city. Our suitcases were very light when we arrived and you would think we were as poor as our neighbors, but we brought wealth passed on from our grandparents and great grandparents. We came knowing that living within our means was important, could differentiate between wants and needs, no one had any addictions. We knew a tidy house was important to our health and mental wellbeing. Education was prioritized. The list could go on and on. We didn't look down on our neighbors. We could tell they were not taught these things. There was no superiority on our part. In their shoes, we would be the same.
