No, you're just proving you don't understand the statistics.

You seem to believe that 40% of Whites receive EBT. That in itself is incorrect.

So, 40% of EBT recipients are White. Whites make up around 65% of the US population so, in effect, they're under represented. Black make up around 13% of the US population so at just under 26% they're over represented. Hispanics are also under represented.

It's not about name-calling. It's about determining whether or not we have a problem with college-level curriculum in US colleges and universities. So, please... answer the questions...

Are you a college graduate? If so, in which discipline did you earn your degree?

But

But 35% of those single parent families live in poverty and that percentage is growing each year.
Correct, and that's just about 3 times the rate of overall poverty in the US (which is 13.5%). Single parent families are about 3 times more likely to be living in poverty than the general population.

Poor people always have and always will out procreate wealthier people. That’s human behavior. You’re not gonna show me examples in any society where wealthier people have more children than the poor overall.

There is a recent phenomenon that shows that some highly educated women who can afford nannies and other such luxuries, are having more children than usual, but that’s a recent issue and not a traditional one.

When things are the way they are and there are more and more single parents, the economy needs to adopt to that new situation and offer more decent part-time jobs. In the Netherlands the part-time job rate is about 50% by now. That makes it much easier for single parents as those are not jobs for the working poor.

It's human behavior when infant mortality rates are high. They are not in the US.

Jesus Christ man! lol. She didn't understand, just let it go. The large majority of the country sucks at math, even college graduates. So blacks are more likely to receive welfare benefits and whites are more likely to use illegal drugs. Blacks are more likely to shoot other blacks and whites are more likely to shoot groups of people. Lets just call it even. There is no need to gang up on someone just because they don't share the same views at you. You aren't making yourself seem any smarter than her.

So in the end you realize that American colleges fail students...then what?
You get the random person on city data to admit that blacks receive welfare...then what?
You really showed her

How can a college graduate not understand basic percentages, basic statistics, and basic equations? How does one earn a college degree without even a 10th grade level comprehension of Math?

Are you a college level graduate? Yes, I am as well as military training. I'm not dignifying AND justifying your rhetoric any more than that. First like I stated, the Department of Ag took those households into consideration. I'm sure they have employed highly educated folks to compile their numbers for various reasons. Like it or not.

The questions I asked a long time ago while quick to throw stones....mass killings and illegal drugs...answer those questions since you need to feel like you are more educated.

So you have never met even one college graduate that didn't understand basic math? Have you been on any campuses lately? Either way, what business of yours is it to question someone's education? Is there an education level requirement to converse with you on city data? lol. If so, why not just stop replying? You don't have to be disingenuous with me
