Maybe, after they got over women having rights and black people living free and in their neighborhoods. So it might take a while for them to get to your chosen umbrage.
Right wingers confuse declaration with information.
Sure. We have Irish-Americans and Italian-Americans falling out of trees. And given the historic persecution of the German peoples...I mean, given the historic persecution by the German peoples I can understand your need to identify.
That you think the problems of race are a) really just a reflection of the need for blacks to get their act together, b) are in the past else, and c) that your responsibility to the compact ends with pointing that out by and large is almost, but not quite, as astonishing as your figures.
That's vague enough. Would that include prison guards? People with a relative in prison? Kind of meaningless without a context. Source and authentication for that number? The last time I saw figures it was one in six incarcerated around 2001, which only approaches 70% if your math is broken. But I'm up for authority. What's yours?
Here's an excerpt from an article you'll never read (
link) that addresses some of the vaguely racist, comfortable mythology that's grown like weeds around the problem of single parent homes.
"[FONT=&]Lastly it strikes me that there can be inherent problems at looking at an internal proportional number, when the external proportion may be at an far larger differential. To wit: there are almost five times as many White people in America as they are Black. So if you were to take the single-parent percentages for each and multiply them against the numbers of actual children involved what you would see is this:
[/FONT][FONT=&]Hispanic Children in Single-Parent Households: 28.6% x 16.3 Million = 4.66 Million[/FONT]
[FONT=&]Black Children in Single-Parent Households: 54.7% x 11.2 Million = 6.12 Million.[/FONT]
[FONT=&][Corrected] White Children in Single-Parent Households: 22.1% x 55.9 Million = 12.3 Million.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]So even with an almost twice as high internal percentage of single-parent households, the external percentage is that there are still only one third one half as many black children living in that situation as there are white..."

Another problem noted in the article is that blended families aren't accounted for, so children who might be in two parent households aren't counted as such if the two biological parents aren't both present. That sort of tabulation "means that the census bureau's data of "living arrangements" can be off by as much as 25% when dealing with blended families situations and even their much lower figures of Hispanic and Black single parent living arrangements could in fact be far, far lower than shown."
