#8  For those of us who've lived among them

Sound like a title for very scary Sci-Fi movie...

#7  We're are told one third of blacks live in poverty. Being 12 percent of the overall population (and decreasing daily with the overrun from the south), that means their share constitutes 4 percent of the population. With whites still making up 75 percent of the overall population, 10 percent are categorized as poor. That's 7.5 percent or nearly double the number of blacks in poverty. No set asides, no diversity programs, no 'privilege' involved. Also not a whole of sympathy in the 'white community' for those of us who've lived among them understand why they're poor, primarily the result of choices they make limiting or destroying their opportunities.

#4  I suppose that the white man will somehow be blamed for this lower life expectancy.

Try rowing for awhile:

#3  Long term one party system who's only real goal is to stay in power. Any surprise other than even given the possibility of 'individual free will' (ie freely move and earn a living) so many choose Free Stuff.

#2  There's a neighborhood in DC that I wish had a really low life expectancy. Got some nice buildings but the vermin infestation is hellacious.
