Numbers don't lie eh?
Blacks are 13% of the US population and represent 75% of the NBA and 70% of the NFL? Top 30 NBA prospects for 2019 are black. Either the NBA and NFL are racist or numbers can sometimes lie.
70% of blacks grow up in a one parent household. The number was 20% in 1960. We are not more racist now than we were in the 60s. In fact a black child with two parents is significantly more successful than a white child with one parent. Stop having kids unless there are two parents involved. Jews, Asians, Indians...most kids have two parents...divorce rate is very low and single motherhood rate is almost non-existent. Hence they make more on averge.
Stop playing the race card and start playing the responsibility card.
Take that weak shit home punk. Would you like to talk about baseball? Tennis? Hockey or all the other pro sports but 2?
Black Dads Are Doing Best of All
One of the most persistent statistical bludgeons of people who want to blame black people for any injustice or inequity they encounter is this: According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (C.D.C.), in 2013 in nearly 72 percent of births to non-Hispanic black women, the mothers were unmarried.
It has always seemed to me that embedded in the “If only black men would marry the women they have babies with…” rhetoric was a more insidious suggestion: that there is something fundamental, and intrinsic about black men that is flawed, that black fathers are pathologically prone to desertion of their offspring and therefore largely responsible for black community “dysfunction.”
There is an astounding amount of mythology loaded into this stereotype, one that echoes a history of efforts to rob black masculinity of honor and fidelity.
Josh Levs points this out in his new book, “All In,” in a chapter titled “How Black Dads Are Doing Best of All (But There’s Still a Crisis).” One fact that Levs quickly establishes is that most black fathers in America live with their children: “There are about 2.5 million black fathers living with their children and about 1.7 million living apart from them.”
Another thing to consider is something that The Atlantic’s Ta-Nehisi Coates pointed out in 2013: “The drop in the birthrate for unmarried black women is mirrored by an even steeper drop among married black women. Indeed, whereas at one point married black women were having more kids than married white women, they are now having less.” This means that births to unmarried black women are disproportionately represented in the statistics.
Now to the mythology of the black male dereliction as dads: While it is true that black parents are less likely to marry before a child is born, it is not true that black fathers suffer a pathology of neglect. In fact, a C.D.C. report issued in December 2013 found that black fathers were the most involved with their children daily, on a number of measures, of any other group of fathers — and in many cases, that was among fathers who didn’t live with their children, as well as those who did.
Opinion | Black Dads Are Doing Best of All
You've been in here crying about being a jew for the past several days. Don't talk to me about some card whites invented and have played since at least the mid 1600's then go learn what responsibly actually is.
So you agree that stats can be misleading? LOL
I have been doing the opposite of crying. I've been telling you to be like the Jews, man up and stop whining like a sissy boy. If you think there is racism then overcome it. If you cannot then move. Seems simple. Do you really believe that if you whine or yell at racists to no longer be racist they will stop?
What is your solution? Do tell. I am genuinely curious.
Jew got reparations from the US government for the holocaust America did not participate in. So just be quiet with your be like jews bullshit. You got a big ass lobby in DC and in states so Jews are whining consistently if that's what you want to call things like that done by others. And don't ask me my solution. You're white, figure out how you end the racism in the white community. That's the fucking solution.
Your use of stats ignored the realty that while 20 percent of blacks in 1960 lived in 2 parent families, poverty was twice as high as it is now for blacks. Yet poverty remained at basically the same level in relation to whites.
