Did you know there are white , working single moms too? It's crazy.
Well a "superior " white guy( with divorced parents) just slaughtered 27 people soI suppose they have to draw away the attention that's getting...

This is profoundly offensive and effed up. Given the string of mass shootings of late, many could begin labeling White men as child killers, but that would be pretty effed up too. Right??

I don't see the problem. But if you're looking for a solution, the solution is that unemployed black men should go get a job.

Best and worst jobs, from Online Employees to roustabout - Business - Careers - msnbc.com

ETA: Someone said the site was linking them to some work at home thing. I posted the chart a couple of posts below.
Its called a college education. A skilled trade. A specialized skill set. It's called a 90% high school and college graduation rate. It's called waiting until marriage before you have children. By the way, it is possible to have an intact family with both mom and dad working. I was raised in one. "Mom not working" isn't the answer to the problem of unemployed men.

It is funny,sorry.
I guess if black women are working more than the men,the men really can't blame black poverty on the women.
