I don't agree. I've had some deep discussions with certain members that have yielded positive results on both sides. I've learned some things I didn't know before,and vice versa for the other person.

Once in a while, you get a discussion that makes coming back here worth the effort.

For the other 99% of the time, there's ...

Marvin, thank you for taking the time to properly research this and put the truth up.

You're welcome Janelle. It's funny that folks would rather follow a bigoted, hateful, and narrow minded narrative that actually have a sensible debate to challenge their point of view. Lost has been saying this for a while, I've just ignored it since he usually attacks black folks in some ignorant fashion.

But here's the problem, Janelle. Marvin has a web server at his house, he fakes the DNS addresses, posts some healines and stats, quotes it to promote blacks... it's all just his way of trying to bolster public opinion of blacks. In 3-4 weeks, those links will no longer work.

So you are saying he is lying about the stats? How awful you are. What makes his stats any falser than anyone else's?

Single parent homes have been happening for a long time. Ask massa, they started the trend.

The U.S. started reporting on it because we wanted to blame it all on the black people and want to make just black people look bad only. Which is the purpose of your post.

I don't know anyone Named massa. I do know the out of wedlock birth rate has almost tripled among blacks since the war on poverty started. Why do you think that is

But one day.......

Successive governments were not baffled by this complex social problem. Each side, for it's owns reasons, had no great desire, when in power, to fundamentally change the paradigm and improve things.

So what's the answer then?

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

A school district near me ranks in the top 10 dollars spent per pupil..(in the US)..Teachers ave over 60,000 after 10 years.

80 % of black african males do not make it past the 10th grade. .... Is there a lack of "quality" or is it because the average student misses over 60 days of school just due to not showing up for class. When a parent teachers night is held only a handful of parents attend. Single households are a major cause of poverty and as most of them are women that get or keep the children ,,,,yes harp on it. In the wall street journal this weekend talks about poverty in the coal areas of kentucky. (white folks for the racist on here)... A girl is at poverty level (married ) at age 16.... Don't you think that you set yourself out to fail if you get married at age 16 and stop your schooling. If 80 percent of black african male cannot get past the 10 th grade.....in some sections of this country what difference if "segeration"plays a part. Most of the jobs will be held by undocumented democrats. At a 10th grade level where are you going today ???

In my area we spend more per students than the private school and have an over 60% drop out rate for young black males it's time to start addressing issues honestly of you want real change. More entitlement dollars equals more of the same. Sometimes postive change is hard

SHHHHHH! It's all part of my evil plan to take over the world. Janelle, you have a place by my side when the revolution comes. As for Dave

Where do you people get these stats from? I have yet to find a link that boasts that much of a dropout rate. Between 40 and 45 percent I'll give you, but 60 to 80%? What school districts are you talking about?

Over 72% of statistics are made up.
