How in the hell? What didn't I explicitly say? I just think it's funny how when a thread about race is brought up...this is somehow what is to be brought up (the genetic differences was boring, right?). You're supplying statistics, numbers, tables, and pie charts and saying, "Look, there's a problem with black America." I actually agree, there IS a problem with black America. However, this problem isn't rooted in black America...it's rooted deep into America in general.

And I love discussions on race relations. I'm not calling you a racist Lukie. I have friends that (I perceive) to be just like you (again, perceive since I don't really know you). I just hate to see numbers & stats being thrown up on a thread and seeing these numbers being looked at in the wrong light. These numbers are simply the surface; the cause is much deeper.
