[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are not enough whites in the school system to make them a significant majority at any school.  It is just not going to happen in this city.  Again, by the time a white couple has their 2.5 children in a 5-year period, the AA family will have about 4 children in the same time period.[/quote]

Now this is Racist.  Unfortunately, my timing was off.  I'm AA and I didn't get the 4 children or the 2.5.  Only had 1.  I need to get my DNA checked. [/quote]

From the census, fertility rates per 1000 women in 2008, and the differences are probably lower now as that's the way they've been trending:

White - 68 .6
Black - 71.9

What he really meant to say was by the time the white couple has their 2.5 kids, the black couple will have had 2.62 kids.[/quote]

And the infant mortality rate is about three times as high for AA infants - somewhere around 15%.  I'm guessing the disparity might be greater in DC, given the near-absence of poor whites with higher infant mortality.

That 10ish/1000 difference in mortality more than offsets the 3.3/1000 difference in birthrate.  White ladies just be pumping out those babies!  Irresponsible![/quote]
