I keep hearing... (Yet Another Race Discussion)

You're trying to filter. The point is that everyone has an inherent default.

Without having anything to go on. Black haired, brown eyed, 5'10 medium build male, no name, no city. No country.

What color is he?

Everyone has a default.

 

Yeah, but I doubt they are picturing all the protagonists white and the villians as black.

 

i'm not filtering. The study was describing book characters. Characters have names, which would trigger the image. Maybe the name is familiar or a close friends name. Maybe the name Jordan brings an image of a black man for my Jordan generation. Are the book characters names Leanne, Brad, Jeff, Abby, etc? Yeah, then all white.

 

I believe the single biggest issue in the black community is that we are around 75% of black babies being born out of wedlock. That's nobodies problem but theirs. Sooner or later that number has got to go down or nothing is going to change.

There are elements that are designed to keep poor people right where they are. Welfare, poor school systems, abortion clinics, ext. many of those issues become less and less an issue if black children aren't born to single mothers taking welfare to survive.

I was raised in the housing projects, black or white made no difference. It was the same story from one door to the next. No dad at home, drugs, awful schools and not many willing to work their way out.

 

How is it that abortion clinics keep people poor?

 

Poverty isn't racist. There are 2 common factors that keep people in poverty, regardless of race.

1. Having babies out of wedlock.

2. Not achieving a high school diploma or equivalent.

 

Define "common"

 

Majority of those in poverty either did not graduate high school or had baby out of wedlock (or both).

 

What kind of proportion, you think? 60%? 75%? 51%?

 

90+%
Will try to get actual data

 

Mexican

 

My default is Caitlyn Jenner

 

When I hear about the church shooting in Nashville, I assume it was a white guy.

 

I assume it's a crazy person

 

psychocist

 

Obviously not NWA listeners.

White high school dropouts have higher median wealth than black college graduates.

White unwed parents have higher median wealth than black married people.

these are facts

 

There are many factors.

My point is when it comes to poverty. If you don't have kids out of wedlock and graduate high school, you won't live in poverty.

 

That's not necessarily true.

 

Still wondering this.
