Nope, he is a self Identified African and does not relate to American blacks. I keep trying to get him to go through the backwoods of Miss, Texas or Ga so that he can find out just exactly how black that he really is

48 hours is a news show. I think you mean the first 48. Though a lot of the suspects and victims are black, so are a lot of the detectives. What is your point?

Don't have to. Just watch Cops, or The First 48, or Americas Stupidist Criminals, or...The Evening News.

Interestingly enough, college educated moms, of all races, rarely have kids out of wedlock.....



So as long as the number of middle class people keeps decreasing, and membership in the middle class is tenuous, then out of wedlock births will likely keep going up.

And lest I remind you......college graduation rates of black women especially keeps increasing:
Fast Facts

Out of wedlock births are largely a class problem. Not a race problem.
Not only that, but married black women have less children than oow black women. If more married bw had more than 2 kids, that rate would change.

I've tried to tell him that at the end of the day, he will be perceived as being no different from any other Black person in America. I think because he doesn't get it, he doesn't care. And it's apparent he doesn't want to learn either.

And there is another question that goes along with this. Why do married Black women tend to have fewer children?

<shrug> I would have never watched that garbage so no great loss.

I would be curious to hear the response of people that were against this show but have watched Jersey Shore, Honey Boo Boo, Teen mom etc. if they were called racist for doing so.

We have poster after poster here railing about "old white men" in threads around here....nah, that's not racist....not at all....it's different, it's ok, it's acceptable.

It would seem at times that some of our racist trolls have managed to infect some of our previously sane posters with their hate.

Why not send him into a poor latino or korean community in Los Angeles? I think he'd find out even faster.

All of those shows are stupid and I would never watch them. This thread was supposed to be about getting an embarrassing show off of the air. A few people with bigoted views have tried to ruin it.
