Don't you ever say 'black on black crime' again

134. Unfortunately, when you consider

When you look at the violent crime statistics (murder, assault, and rape) committed by race, and then consider that blacks make up about 13% of the population, the real horror of that number sinks in. This is the atmosphere that so many black parents are raising their kids in.

We need to:

End the war on drugs
Create decent jobs programs
and emphasize EDUCATION.

And, I'll get pounded for this, statistically, black kids with two parents are not that much more likely to live in poverty than white kids.

http://blackdemographics.com/households/poverty/ - Very interesting statistics cited here (study 2012, I think).

Black 2 parent households with kids in poverty - 11.0 %
All (races) 2 parent households with kids in poverty - 8.7 %

Black female headed household with kids in poverty 47.5 %
All (races) female headed household with kids in poverty 41.5 %

Now, tell me, what is the greatest factor in predicting child poverty and all the ensuing problems that accompany poverty?

But, let's not talk about it lest we hurt someone's feelings or appear to be judgmental.

Fact is, it is damn hard to raise a child on your own. I applaud women who do it well, or give it their all, but not talking about it doesn't help anyone. At least "most" kids in divorce have had a chance to bond to their other parent and get child support.
