Laughable but demonstrably true. I know the evidence is anecdotal. I really dislike denying the obvious in the name of sounding sophisticated, tolerant or open.

OK, fine, Jewish and Amish neighborhoods are full of children who never knew their fathers, and who beat the bejesus out of someone who looks at their girlfriends the wrong way. I give up.

That's not a personal attack. It is an observation of your point of view which is narrow and limited at best.
Now, if I wanted to attack you personally, I could have.....are you worth that though?

I have actually put in time as a volunteer legal assistant trying to help the black community.

During 1982, I worked as a legal assistant in a legal services program for the poor. This shows that I put action behind my words bout helping poor people. I was not being paid. During this time, the painter for one of the contractors engaged to rehabilitate slum housing in Westchester County, New York took a liking to a 13 year old girl in one of the apartments he was painting. Can anyone tell us why the 13 year old girl wasn't in school, and wound up pregnant by the painter? Is this a worthwhile use of taxpayer and government money?

The even-more-liberal attorney I was working under had, let us say, a very serious difference of opinion with me about this matter. I asked her what the 13 year old girl?s mother did for a living. She said "she's a mother." If she was being a full time mother, then, how did her daughter wind up pregnant at the age of 13 by a painter? And what net gain did those legal services I helped provide give to the poor people? Probably none.

My point in all of this is that poor people do things that doom them and, worse, their offspring to continuing and grinding poverty, such as ensuring the dwellings they inhabit are, by and by, ruined.

Now, try to tell me I'm a racist.

Common. No statistics or proof that I'm asking for can be provided. In response to not being able to provide that proof, using ad hominem sarcasm is the response. Not surprised. All it shows is an evasive way of reacting to a certain situation.
