[quote=jade408;30796926]The overall oow birth rate in the US is 40% these days and the black birth rate is declining. Particularly among college educated blacks. And the fastest growth group of college grads? Black women.
Shhhhh! The racist that want to keep using the 70% stat does not want anyone to know that
How has white racism effected your life? How has it stopped your progress?
I can honestly say that it did not stop MY progress but it sure enough slowed it down. In the past 15 years I have had resumes tossed until I used a different address. I went to interviews and once I was there the position was closed. I was hired at the same rate as someone with 10 years less experience and a high school degree verses my B.S in the same field. I was accused of sexual harassment by a mentally deranged white female who later quit her job after a tryst with the janitor that she met in the stairwell. I was accused of harrassing a white female in college that did not exist by a racist substitute teacher (not professor) at PSU. A whiteman came and tried to swindle my 82 yr old mother for a loan to repair her house. There are more instances, but have all whites stopped my progress, no but some of them made a hell of a run at it.
Gee, Edward A it must be nice to be able to go through life as a black person and not have a clue that racism does happen to other people and that it is no fault of their own.
Don't you get it, these trollops are getting preggers ON PURPOSE.....in order to scoop-up the BMB!
Especially since the rabid right are doing everything that they can to make sure that abortions are virtually impossible for the poor to get and they also oppose sex education in schools what reults do you honestly expect?
Don't know if this was posted or not, but from watching this & Don's original comments, I agree with Joy Behar in that there's not much here that is controversial.

Lemon is really out of touch with reality. For one, institutionalize racism will not end with the "pulling up of the pants" or eliminating the n-word. Secondly, due to his ignorance he never mentioned the fact that whites and latinos also sag their pants as well. Because he will never be responsible for bring a child into this world he really should take heed to what the brother on his left was saying about teaching your own and not try to change anyone else's mind about you
Honestly, I don't believe Bill O'Reilly even cares what happens to the Black community. I see what he says as this:
A) Playing on the emotions of those who resent Blacks.
B) Using talking points.
It is kind of sad that NOW is the time being picked to discuss this, in the midst of a tragedy. This would have been more appropriate to discuss when the 500 murders in Chicago were being discussed. This was not the appropriate time to discuss this. The Martin/Zimmerman incident and the Black-on-Black violence are two separate issues.

To think that pulling one's pants up is going to stop institutions racism is one big fallacy. And this is something alot of people don't understand or care to understand. Institutional racism has existed in this nation from day one. It has continued to exist for ages. When you go to a job interview, most likely, candidates are going to have their pants pulled up, so that should show that there is a bigger problem here. It is like someone saying "because of the way those particular individuals dress, I won't give YOU a job, not until those persons change".
Where was he when it first started happening? The only reason that he even was allowed to speak is because his corperate overlords told him to do so.
Which shows Don Lemon doesn't care at all. He is just a puppet.
