actually your wrong there is a strong correlation to singlemotherhood and crime and poverty.

if you look at stats for AA who come from marriage their crime rates
are actual lower than white kids,and the racial wealth gap closes from 50%
to about 10% in wealth.

and by the way Im blk democrat liberal but facts are facts.

Mind showing those statistics on single mothers?

And either way. The absence of a father makes things harder; but it doesn't equate with raising a delinquent or make it a justification.

Actually, you may be wrong. Chicago is in a classless, tasteless state of its own. You seem like a nice, genuine person. I don't see how you can live in that pit.

Thanks for the energy you're putting into me. I never thought twice about you after that first reply until this reply. Have a merry day in your nazi city. Dont get upset at me because I have pride and dignity. Your ethnic group came out of the rape of the Native Americans by the Europeans. That's not my fault.

Tell us how you really feel!

Also, your statements are quite wrong.

I have no idea what this means. What ethnic group do you think I belong to? Can you see through the interwebs? Did you test my DNA too?
