For First Time Ever, Number Of Black Kids In Poverty Higher Than Number Of White Kids
Not percentage. Number.
http://financialjuneteenth.com/for-first-time-ever-number-of-black-kids-in-poverty-higher-than-number-of-white-kids/
If anyone was still in doubt that huge segments of the population have been left out of the economic recovery, a new report released by the Pew Research Center dispels that myth with the finding that, for the first time since the Census began tracking children’s poverty rate, the number of Black children living in poverty in the U.S. overtook the number of white children living in poverty.
This has occurred despite the fact that white children outnumber Black children 3 to 1. This means that not only has the economic recovery missed certain segments of the population, it has left behind some of the country’s most vulnerable citizens.
Pew’s definition of poverty is a family of four that has an income under $24,000 a year. Based on this definition, 2 our of every 5, or 38 percent, of the 11 million Black children in the U.S. live in poverty. This is in direct opposition to the fact that the overall number of children living in poverty in the U.S. dropped from 16.3 million in 2010 to 14.7 million in 2013.
Mark Hugo Lopez, the director of Hispanic research at the Pew Research Center, says that the differences in poverty rates for American children can be attributed to the employment and income differences faced by parents. Lopez states, “The labor market has recovered, but the recovery has been uneven.†Black parents are more likely to be unemployed, and even when they are employed, they earn less money than other races.
Wonder who has been President for almost 7 years?

6. There will only cause more muggings and robberies as these disadvantaged youths struggle to survive
Meanwhile the media, the local police departments and the white public will look at these youths with scorn.
some youtube thing
When people arent given a chance, they don't have a choice.
Welcome to the real world white suburbia.
And when their criminal skulls get ventilated to protect normal people you shriek.

7. Another reason that "the economic" applies to EVERYONE!
No need to split off "the social". We need to fix our economic problems, and this is for everyone.
I love how this study underscores in a super fat red sharpie that The Southern Strategy actually sabotaged poor whites. Stop letting dog whistles appeal to your lowest race-baitable instincts, suckers.
Learn the history of LBJ you 2 decades long parasite.

10. Actually it means the opposite. It means that social justice is even more important
It's due to racism and bias in hiring affecting their parents that there are such a high percentage of African American children living in poverty such that they can have more in number than white children in poverty.
And the information is out there in a number of studies. It's easier for a white person with a felony conviction to get hired than an African American person with a clean record all things being equal. Latinos have anglicized their name, resubmitted their otherwise same resume to a firm that wouldn't give them a callback, and BAM, they get called for an interview.
The economy improving overall won't fix that.
God,you are an idiot.

9. We either cure HIV/AIDS and cause a population boom...
which will cause us to burn more fossil fuels, release more CO2, create more landfills and cause us to use more resources to sustain the population and ultimately increase global temperatures which will turn the planet into a barren rock like Mars or we could let nature take its course.
Its a tough choice but its either do or die for this planet.

:confused:
1. Curing HIV/AIDS won't cause a "population boom", since most HIV/AIDS infections occur in the homo community, with half of them unable/incapable of reproducing.
2. Still haven't figured out how using my A/C and wood stove causes Gorebull Warming.
3. If DUmmie numbers Riverside was REALLY concerned for the planet, it would be encouraging more DUmmies to commit suicide, and would lead by example.

...
Its a tough choice but its either do or die for this planet.
Partly echoing dd above, the two main groups contracting AIDS in the US are homosexual men and IV (illegal) drug users. Gay men don't/won't reproduce, and IV (illegal) drug users don't reproduce much either. A magic wand that magically eradicated AIDS would not create a population boom.
And how can Lib/Prog Enviros keep beating the Population Bomb drum? Mankind has disproved Malthus for what ... 3 centuries? four centuries? And what became of the famines-that-would-kill-10s-of-millions Paul Ehrlich prophesied for the 1970s? The closest to that happening was the government-caused famine in Ethiopia!

Welcome to the real world white suburbia.
Here's some real world for you, DUmbshit. I am not obligated to give your 'disadvantaged youths' anything, including 'a chance.'
If they 'struggle to survive' by attempting to rob me or mine, they'll have more to worry about than my scorn. They'll be 'struggling to survive' with some .357 holes in their middles.
Don't rob, don't loot.
Don't **** with me, and I won't shoot.
And that's the really real world, cocksucker.

When applied to many black "families", that means a single mother with 3 children by different "absentee fathers". :whistling:

Racism isn't making them have 10 ****ing kids out of wedlock. Racism isn't making them drop out of ****ing school. Racism isn't destroying the black family structure. Racism isn't dumbing down public schools, which normally results in a person of average IQ not even being able to discern what the **** many of these kids are even talking about. That would be leftist policies.
You know what? You're right. It is racism. Wear that badge, Steve. Ya ****ing racist.
