um, what? Slavery language removed from group’s marriage pledge for candidates

[Wild Cobra]

How many white slaves were there back then?
Thank you for making my point for me.

LOL...

I never was arguing against things you though I was now, was I?

Just take slavery away, both blacks and whites maintained better family units before government made the welfare state.

How so? You haven't made a connection between those two yet.
IE: Do rich people divorce less than poor people?

percentage wise probably they are less likely to get married cause they don't want to lose half their

I didn't know it was my job to make a connection. Divorce? Who knows. However, less richer people have children out of wedlock, and the black community seems to be the largest percentage of having bas children.

During this thread I indicated that:

I see a degradation of both races:

It's sad that what I see in society makes me believe this statement. However, us whites aren't much better when it comes to having children raised by both parents.

That SnC is correct:

It's funny how most of them are rich whites who lived in suburbs 'segregated' with all whites.

Source?

Wow...

Do you live in somebody's basement?

Get out and see life for yourself. You will see it's essentially true. You see very few blacks in richer neighborhoods.

Then followed up with a incomplete sample demographics and experience.

Went on with a statement of welfare in response to SnC. I have dated several single mothers on welfare. I have seen my fair share of women who just collect a government check, and have nice section 8 houses, plenty of children's items, and no financial worries. Most couples of moderate means cannot afford to rent or buy a house in the Portland metro area. Someone who lives off their tax dollars shouldn't have one.

Does the banter really matter much that went on after that?

As for the cited study:

The Consequences of Marriage
for African Americans: A Comprehensive Literature Review

This is just the summary, the whole 2005 material is $8 if someone is interested.

True enough

You make the claim, you back it up. And if you're talking about 'family structure' (your words, not mine), then yeah, divorce is just as bad as anything else, even more so when there's kids in the middle.

However, less richer people have children out of wedlock, and the black community seems to be the largest percentage of having bas children.

How large a percentage compared to other races?
If you take actual numbers instead of percentages, which race has the most bas children?

[spursncowboys]

At the very least, misleading. I did not purchase the Refrigerator, Stove and oven and Air Conditioning where I rent.

I think his point of the definition of poor is still a good one.

[spursncowboys]

I'd say A/C down south is damn near mandatory. I hate Biloxi heat.

Those mother ers with jacuzzis need to get slapped though.

I think the problem is that there's "poor", and then there's des ute. You can be poor but still have some creature comforts. I don't think poor necessarily means you're barely getting by week to week.

Surprisingly there are a lot of elderly in san antonio that dont have a/c. if you buy a 20 fan from walmart and take to any of the firestations around s.a. they will deliver them. it's something i would do once a year when i lived in sa.

[spursncowboys]

Well, the conversation was about slaves and slavery. Keep up.

The original conversation was about the idea that Bachmann wants blacks to go back into slavery. Which is a ludicrious leap from her comparison.

Not a bad idea. Thanks.

Exactly. And sure, I can agree is ludicrous.
