Those are quite sweeping statements. Do you have any credible source that you could please share with the forum to back up those numbers

I think you’re trying to approach an issue with logic that doesn’t always follow logic.

So, I disagree. It goes beyond contraceptive and abortion, there is a lot of social input here that neither of us know anything about. And abortion is not necessarily just the woman‘s decision. Not always.

Sometimes women are taken advantage of by men. Sometimes men by women.

Single parenting may happen because the man is incarcerated, because he can‘t find work, because he‘s been the victim of violence. Or because he already has another family. Relationships are complicated.

No, there's a difference between having the right to decide by yourself and actually deciding by yourself.

Back to my original point: I think that differential treatment of non-white versus white people within the US justice system has a lot to do with race even when Accounting for socioeconomic Staus, family structure, etc.

This is just my opinion, however.

This says it all

It's not, but that's what new math tells you.

The truth is: nobody knows what's going to happen.

And that's why everybody is so afraid.

Personally, I think it's going to get worse before it gets better (dying empires usually don't go quietly and seldom leave everything back in order...).

The only real concern with a wider, direct impact on the rest of the world is the Near-East and (maybe to a lesser degree), India-China-Pakistan (let's face it: HK and TW aren't really important in the grand scheme of things).

What will happen there without the US is anybody's guess.

Over their lifetime, black men are 2.5 times more likely to be killed by police violence than white men. Works out to 1 in 1000.

It‘s a fairly important cause of mortality in young black men. While not the leading cause, it is a leading cause.

Trump:

"The United States of America will be designating ANTIFA as a Terrorist Organization."

About time such would happen.

Uhhh! Can this be true? The national guard shooting at civilians?https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreak...m_source=share


Taking it with a biiiig pinch of salt but if it is a fake then a damn good one.

I guess you won't see this if you blocked me as you said that you would, but I couldn't possibly care less if you block me.

I never once said that it couldn't be caused by multiple factors. But it was you who had written the following and said that black people might actually be treated roughly the same as whites [by the judicial system] and that the predominant factor seems to be socioeconomic in nature:

"It seems to me that having access to a good lawyer (and the money to settle, where available) may be the predominant factor here. As a consequence the poor would get sentenced more often, and for longer, than their well-off or rich counterparts. An extreme case is Ethan Couch, a Texan who walked free after killing four people driving drunk due to suffering from what his lawyers termed "affluenza".

Given the socioeconomic realities, this could mean that black people are treated roughly the same as the whites in a comparable situation, but because poor whites are a smaller subset of their racial group than poor blacks, the racial average may look like blacks get handled more heavy-handed than whites although, in such a scenario, that's not necessarily the (main or only) reason."

And yet now you're trying to accuse ME of saying that there aren't multiple factors involved?

Couldn’t be true, the apparent victims were white.

It's real, but it's paint and they shot at a group of young people with covered faces who did not want to go inside events there's a curfew. Things are tensed so these things happen. Next time they let them be outside and they get a molotov up their ass.

I'm not saying that it's not paint, but just out of curiosity... How do you know that it's paint?

Either way, that is just really f'ed up.

Rubber bullets perhaps, live rounds would be unthinkable.

I´m just thinking what would happen if they had fired on those Americans with more bullets than brain cells who think that the feddle gunmint gonna impose the new world order and who think it´s their patriotic duty to fire back

Yale and Brookings for example. I find the latter more interesting as it also provides a historical perspective.
For 2013 the HRSA (a federal agency) says that 51% households with a black mother are single-parent (today it should be a point more if my interpretation of the current tables is correct). 38% live in a two-parent household (thus in many cases with a stepfather, often a problematic situation for the children).

Including single father households, the current number should be in the 58% area for single black parents.

Not for a single-mother-to-be, that's the problem with absent fathers
Logic (rationality) is the only way for the government. If you try to run a state based on feeling you get what MeToo turned into in epic proportions and injustices everywhere.

WRT abortion the woman decides, and she only. The father-to-be can do nothing but hope. Assuming he's around in the first place. However it shouldn't come to that, abortion is only the emergency exit.

All the reasons you can give for single parenting have nothing to do with preventing pregnancy. No pregnancy no single parent, it's quite simple.

You mention social input. That's exactly what this is (I am) about here. Kids mimick their parent(s) and perpetuate societal aspects. Including an ever-increasing share of single-parent households, for instance, with all the adverse consequences that brings.

A large proportion of Swiss births are out of wedlock. Europe in general has a slightly higher percentage.

So what’s your point?
