You are simply repeating the same thing you said before, it is an ABSOLUTE denial of racism experienced by black youths today
Yes, and I will repeat it again, and again, and again, and again, and again until it sinks in.
The simple fact of the matter is that you haven't "proven" a damn thing. Absolutely no evidence whatsoever has been presented so far to suggest that black youths experience any significant degree of racial discrimination.
This isn't to say that it doesn't exist to some degree, necessarily. However, the point still stands that you have not made any kind of compelling argument for it.
First off, your chart ends in 2003.
Suicide rates increase dramatically among middle-aged Americans - CBS News
The suicide rate for women rose more than 31 percent from 6.2 per 100,000 in 1999 to 8.1 in 2010.
Among women, suicide rates increased with age, and the largest rate increase was observed among women aged 60-64 years -- nearly a 60 percent rise from 4.4 per 100,000 to 7.0 suicides per 100,000 people.
Secondly, the posted chart actually contradicts your argument. It shows suicide rates down across the board, for men and women alike.
It wouldn't appear that the rise of single motherhood has made any difference whatsoever with regard to female suicide rates.
And yet as already shown, it is declining, YOY for all races since 1950.
Okay. So what?
I already showed that single poor women are willing to give up welfare if their partner is gainfully employed.....but as I showed, low income wage gains have been negative.
Where did you show this?
You are still in denial of the effects that racism has in the US on economic achievement, let alone the existence of racism period and no amount of evidence will convince you otherwise.
You still have as of yet to demonstrate any impact caused by legitimate "racism."
Weird....you are against single women raising children.....yet if they use birth control....you are against that too?
FFS!
African Americans have the highest abortion rates of any ethnic group in the United States, and still have the highest illegitimacy rate. Abortion is clearly a symptom of the greater problem here, not a solution.
The answer is safer sex, more restrained behavior, and more marriages, not more murdered children.
Wow, these other modern states are "bankrupt" because they have better support for single mothers....who are "stupid".
Roughly half of the states you listed are in debt up to their eyeballs, and basically all of them have economies which grow at a snail's pace in comparison to the United States, and turn in productivity ratings that can barely hold a candle to our own.
Again, the answer is more restrained and productive behavior, not expanded support systems for **** ups.
Hold on, I believe that the majority of the poor in the US are white......but go on with your self destructing rant...
Well, as i said, the majority are white....so....ya know....your argument collapses in on itself.
First off, this is a Red Herring, as poor whites are not the subject of this discussion.
Secondly, 30% of the United States African American population lives below the poverty line. Only 10% of the White population does. This shoots your argument in foot.
Lastly, no one is saying that poor whites aren't guilty of many of the same things. They are.
Idiotic behaviors are no less idiotic when Caucasians engage in them.
Again, it is ironic that you talk about reality while you keep denying the existence of racism and its effects.
Proof?
"U.S. single parents have both above average employment rates and above average poverty rates. High rates of low-wage employment combined with inadequate income support explain the paradox of high poverty despite high employment."
And there is an easy solution to this problem, which instantly doubles a person's potential income, and halves their parental workload, while not costing tax payers a dime.
It's called getting married.
