And it certainly wouldn't account for the MILLIONS of Blacks currently in college heading for a better life, either.
At some point playing the victim begins to look like the child throwing a temper tantrum because he didn't like the toy he got with his Happy Meal.

Saying black people are disproportionately poor is not the same thing as saying all black people are poor. Some black people are middle class and some are quite well off. Still, black people on the whole are disproportionately poor, and it's that fact coupled with social inequality that attribute to the problems that iirc you have attributed to simply having a broken culture. You'll have to correct me if that wasn't your position, the right is starting to blur together.

You compared black people to animals. There's no amount of back pedaling in the world to get out of that one.

How come they don't have such a high single parent ratio? You are bending over backwards to deny that maybe, just [maybe], black behavior is [responsible] for black ills.

I have a simple way of answering this:
Am I of Irish or British decent?
