Someone mentioned abortion removes another 500k black babies, and I was curious to see some data, and he was right on the mark. I was surprised that it is that many.

I was 18 years old and still in high school when my now wife found out we were going to be parents. To say that I was scared shitless is an understatement... But, my father raised me to be independent and do the right thing. So, I married her (best decision of my life) and joined the Air Force. That was almost 8 years ago and we have never looked back. Until saturday when i bought a new toy, we owned everything we have. Its not a lot but its ours. Im not trying to brag because i don't feel like it was all my doing. My father raised me to be a man. It was just me and him so i learned to cook, clean and take care of myself. The things he taught me are the reason i have been as successful as i have. I think that is the key in all of this. The parents are not there to raise the children. Nor were there parents there to raise them... I believe it is a cultural issue that we are dealing with..

Lyndon Johson drastically changed the culture of America 50 years ago. The results of bad descisions are not always immediately seen.

About 5 years ago, the GF shows up at our business with a letter already typed up that she wanted us to sign. They had been caught and turned in. (It was during this discussion about the letter where we learned the cost difference.) They were told to prove he didn't live there, and to keep her reduced cost, they needed a letter stating he lived elsewhere from an employer or church. We refused to sign. Bottom line is she found someone else to sign the letter and still lives there today.

At that time, the then mayor was a friend and was in and out of our business. This was all brought to his attention. He asked the woman running the program about it. She told the mayor they had a letter on file stating Daddy lived elsewhere. End of discussion. As far as the employee is concerned, there is nothing to get mad at him about. He's simply using the system. That's where the anger needs to be directed. He was raised in the project and this is the life he knows.

Look, we all see this crap every day. Since moving to the Sylacauga area and becoming more deeply involved in the hiring process, I've been shocked at things worse than this. Some time when there's a thread started about the giving away of children, I'll chime in with a really good one.

I would say the graph for different races in prison would about the same.

Haha. I guessed 40%. What do I get?

Ppl are now seeing the importance of marriage and family.

It burns my A$$ every time I ride through the government housing and see H3's and corvettes parked there. And where I am talking about has almost no blacks. Maybe 5% blacks, 15% hipanics, 20% down on their luck folks who won't be there long and the rest white trash who don't have nuthin and don't want nuthin. Got enough spending money that they drive a nice car and smoke 2 packs of smokes a day. And I mean the good kind like Marlboro and Winstons none of this generic crap like the working class smokes now days.

I wonder what those numbers are now. The blacks can't get much worse, but I bet the whites are worse today.

BINGO. but it goes back to the Brown v Board decision and the Reconstruction Acts before that. Private Property in the USA hasnt been "private" since 1870

more whites than blacks no surprise

Wow! My parents were married for 30 years and about 9 months ago they got divorced. I never want to do that.

Half of those black babies are probably born to white girls. Its all headed to hell.
