Ha Ha Ha,

Desertdetroiter, you're probably right, that doesn't really mean a whole lot.

And no, I don't have millions of Black friends. Or any that I see anymore. I don't even have many white friends anymore. We're older and our close friends are scattered across the country.


But, damn.

Can't a person ask a question? And by asking it, I wasn't implying that Black people don't care. I was only asking WHY single parent households were so high among Blacks. Really only because it is a very large percentage. It probably doesn't have a positive effect on most people.

By your name I'm guessing you live in Detroit or have.

I grew up in Saginaw and my wife is from Detroit. You know the I-75 corridor. Anyway most of the family and friends that we still have in that area live in Dearborn, Inkster and Wayne.

Go Tigers and Lions.

But, I'm not so sure that Whites and Blacks are so far apart.

Yeah, you can find a lot of "injustices".

On the other hand, a lot of us do intermingle, befriend and basically live together in society. So, even though there's some crap, there's a lot of good too.

As if you're representative of the average White men.

You're free to ask anything you want. It's like...whatever.

And yes, i've spent a considerable amount of time in the Detroit area....splitting time between there and here (Arizona).

But i can't say that i find whites and blacks to be far apart. I don't have any problems with white folks myself. None whatsoever.

You should take it as your post is beyond absurd, even to the most ignorant liberal on this forum. (And that's quite a feat)

You still haven't come up with any proof Black males "who have lived responsibly in society" are doing "just fine" employment-wise.
