Well that is your problem that you are sick and tired of it. It is pretty well established though that if you live in a poor black community your chances of making it to middle class are many times lower than making it to jail.

Make of that what you want. Perhaps black people are just lazy, stupid? Is that your point? In that case I don't think we will agree on much in life.

To what cause or causes do you attribute that?

> Make of that what you want.

I'd rather not make of that what I want; I'd rather try to determine the cause(s).
