    This is the power of whataboutism, it never stops and excuses ANYTHING as long as there is some other thing to address.

    And you couldn't measure racism then. Then, white people when polled thought that racism was a thing of the past...then...

    As for family structure, you haven't even addressed the fact that the fatherless homes narrative is a myth, completely ignored it, and now will continue on with it regardless. You talk about concrete measurable data and ignored the fact that fatherless homes is counting unmarried women, so get out of here with that.

    Bullshit based on what? The ideas are backed by studies and information, do you have counter studies that would help support your argument or is your argument one of opinion and emotions and what you wish were true?

    did you read my post, i explained. weathering as an idea is connected to minorities which makes it a stupid idea because poor people are unhealthy and die not black people. being black, in and of itself, isn't a death sentence. being poor is.

    The fatherless home statistics are real.

    The OP never denies that being poor sucks. It's that when you add the black variable there is more stress.

    But they are also inaccurate.
