If I recall correctly, he was factually wrong. |

I don't know if he was factually wrong or not. It had to do with his negative comments towards people of African blood.
He was basically an 80 something man who forgot his place. You can't say stuff like that in public and the reporter got him on record saying something stupid. Whether it is factual or not doesn't matter.
I believe he said that people of African ancestry were less intelligent. I don't think facts were involved. You guys can debate that but I doubt any will. Such stats comparing intelligence between races are simply not published for obvious reasons.

hmmm...
I only posted the link because there have been repeated discussions on race and neighborhoods and why it matters. Maybe it was a little TOO far removed. I'll have to save it for another forum.

Still interesting article, back to southside
Well, to generalize, not all of the southside is bad. Some parts are better than others  |
