Actually, that's not really true. Look at the crime rate in poor white areas like Appalachia. Not all poor people are the same and there do seem to be racial differences across all income brackets. For instance, look at the homicide rate broken down by race and income. Even among the poor, it would seem homicide rates are much higher among our melanin enriched brothers.

First of all there is A LOT of meta data that youre not mentioning nore would we be able to even scrat the surface of on a forum.

I wont even begin to get in a comparison discussion with you but if you are going to just say white families in the mountains are the same living conditions that black families in dense projects then youre mistaken.

It is painful to me to even contemplate that you would insinuate that.

If i have to watch one more thread in off topic turn into a, "hmm does it turn out racisim is right?" Thread ill just petition sirk and shut this whole thing down.

Do not let this turn into that.
