I doubt it was that tough getting Carson to read as a kid. Almost all smart kids like to read. They don't need their mothers to force them to do it.

I agree.
Many on here are apologists for criminal behavior by blaming everything but the criminal.

Kids raised without fathers are likely to grow up poor, dropout of school, join gangs or sell drugs, go to prison, or become teenage parents. Is there less crime and violence because of a lower percentage of white children born out of wedlock in poor communities? Is it because rural communities are located in the middle of nowhere and sort of isolated?
Why are most sexual predators white men? According to the FBI statistics 6 in 10 convicted sexual offenders are white. Is this statistic a reflection of white communities in general?

The .gov classifies anything not black or asian as "white", skewing those numbers dramatically.

An illegal straight out of Guatemala rapes a woman? A "white" guy did it.

IMO, you see more violence because of the close quarters in which black people live. There are turf wars, rival gangs, etc. Poor whites tend to live in more rural areas that are spread out. Big difference.

You suffer from guilt syndrome and a superiority complex. Any stat about blacks are true but those of white are fabricated. Spend some time in therapy.

Uh, he's completely right. Until last year the FBI only categorized crimes as white, black, Asian, or American indian. So yes, if an illegal from Guatemala was arrested for rape prior to 2014, he was counted as white.

But to answer your question, population density is much higher in those urban neighborhoods than the rural trailer parks.
Depends on where you're at. I had a few family members in trailer parks in Indiana, trust me...they were ALL white. Black people do not move to a rural trailer park in Indiana, Mississippi maybe, but not in the north.
