My... My... My... Choices and Statistics. From the outside looking in they seem valid. Here is another fact; statistics can be engineered to reflex the results you want (just control your sample data). Choices on the other hand are a little different; there was a movie "I'm going to get you Sucka" (1988) in a couple of scenes some bad guys were told they had two ways out (meaning the easy way or the hard way); they understood it to mean (being tossed out the window or pushed down stairs). When there are a lot of bad choices and only a few good ones; Fathers/Mentors provide guidance. If you are in a place where the norm (here is another one of those buzz words) is desperation; seeing pass surviving today is very difficult because there is no tomorrow. I don't give criminals a free pass; punishment should match the crime. The crime of possession of illegal drugs (cocaine; 1 gram) in the intercity will get you five years in prison; in the suburbs a suspended sentence maybe community service.
Well; I have gone this far; I may as well throw down the other shoe. Women choosing to have babies with undesirables; again the system has created a example of single women with children. If you need assistant there can't be a man (male over 18; including your own son) in the house. In resent years some of the male restrictions have improved; but the Female head of household "norm" is in place. This norm goes back to slavery; another very long explanation is deserved here and I don't have the time.
In closing; a few years ago the Commandant of the Marine Corp. re: Political Correctness; said "it is like trying to pick up the clean end of turd"; same here. These issues are very old and were never intended to be exposed to the light.

Oh...now I get it! It's not about teaching a child the difference between right and wrong, it's all about "White Privilege" My, My, My..... Thanks for clearing that up for me Mongwu.

Fortunately there are grandfathers to fill in many times.

But grandparents shouldn't have to raise grandchildren. They deserve to have free time in their remaining years. They raised their children. Now it's the responsibility of the parents of these children to do the same.

If they can't, or won't raise, their own children, who will raise the children of those children? Not the grandparents. They didn't raise their children in the first place.

No Father or male mentor; is the a major part of the problem. Unfortunately a lot of them have fallen pray to another problem the Justice System. Intercity residents face harsh judgments for minor crimes; removing them from the community for long periods of time. This creates another problem with employment... and so on and so on.

Prey; not pray. There's a big difference.

African Americans have the highest rate of female single parenthood in America, followed by 43% in the Hispanic community. Whites have the least with 25%. But a large section of that are divorced White females, who are educated and have financial security. Whereas not so with the others.

If you care to check the percentage of single parent households by race, and then check high school graduation rate by race, it correlates rather closely.

I agree with your comment; however, I think that the African Americans excel over all the other groups when it comes to killing each other in the inner cities.

White Privilege??? (another buzz word) I didn't mention it; but now that you brought it up; it could very well be a part of this issue. I don't like making a social/ economic issues as simple as Black and White; if it were that easy the solution is Economic Reapportionment; let just spread the all the money equally... problem fixed! Before you call me some kind of bleeding liberal; I voted for Berry Goldwater for President; I am a dyed in the wool capitalist.
Some things are determined by life experiences; a dolphin has no concept of fire, but is very intelligent. If a intercity child only sees raw uncensored behavior day in and day out it is not easy for a parent to teach them otherwise. Remember we are talking about people who may not know where there next meal is coming from.

That's the problem with today's society but no politician has the balls to talk about it.

That's not true, Trump brings it up all the time as he does many other social problems in the country. But you will never hear the main stream media ever report it or talk about it. He has even pointed out, how politicians (the hag included) may talk about it at election time to get their votes, then abandon them. The media has done nothing but lie about Trump. Want to know what he has to say, go listen to his speeches. He is on you tube and his last few can be heard at RSBN.TV Those who have not listened to him in the past will be shocked and quickly see how he has been crucified by the liberal main stream media and the hag who are out to destroy us as a country and instill the New World Order. I have been listening to his speeches since last summer when I saw how badly he was lied about by the media.

When not briefly in jail, black men have their fun with the women while collecting food stamps and other benefits. Not a bad life as the women and kids live on the dole, waiting for the men to return for more fun. There is always the occasional riot for excitement. Meanwhile, the white Demo/liberal politicians who have control of these cities for many decades do all they can to continue this. The blacks repeatedly vote democratic. Surprise!

True, and with leaders like Obama, Sharpton, Jackson and all the inner city religious pastors who give them guidance and teach them regularly about personal responsibility, their problems should be over soon...................

Tired of the white privilege arguement. Grew up with four brothers, no dad, and mom didn't work. She couldn't as she couldn't afford childcare. Lived in section 8 housing (mixed race). We weren't allowed welfare as we had a TV set. One that someone threw out and I fixed up, scrounging for tubes and other parts from other sets tossed out during clean-up week. We all went to the same schools, played in the same areas and for the most part got along just fine. Joblessness was rampant. When employers asked where you lived and figured out what art of town you came from, you were't hired. Those children who were able to see past the end of their nose keeping them to the grindstone and did well in school and were able to get decent jobs and move out of that area. Work ethic and self respect have fallen by the wayside.

You are wrong here. O'bozo and the hag have nothing to support and increase the negative behavior in the black community. While many are waking up and trying to help themselves, too many more are falling into the Soros, hag and o'bozo's black lives matter BS all with the goal to send race relations back into the slave days to insight internal unrest country wide. We have had nothing but race relations going to the sewer since o'bozo and his white hating wife got in the white house. It's all part of trying to destroy the country and turn it over to the New World Order and inner city blacks are being used to achieve this and they don't even know it.

This is the most racist comment I have heard in many years. You are stereo typing a whole group of people and not all fall into this (not to say that many whites live this way too, have you conveniently forgotten to mention that), while you are trying to make it look like they ALL live this way. You are the fuel for the fire and owe the black community an apology. I know several black people and they are fine upstanding people, working hard for their families the same as many European Americans are today.
