40% is equal to 40%, not greater.
I skimmed the article. So impoverished blacks tend to live in areas with a higher concentration of poverty than whites. So what? Oh yeah, that's racist.
This is exactly the kind of liberal bull**** that drives me up a wall. The liberals believe that everyone has the "right" to live in a nicer neighborhood. That is utter crap. People who live in nicer neighborhoods earn the ability to do so. I've heard people crying before about when blacks move in, whites move out. Must be about the color of their skin, right? Couldn't possibly be that people by nature tend to gravitate toward others similar to themselves.
Like I mentioned before, I live in a diverse neighborhood and 98% of the folks in my neighborhood take pride in their homes. They mow their laws, maintain nice landscaping. We have a few who don't though and no one can make them do it. I supposed if someone who didn't want to live like the rest of the neighborhood moved in next door to me and let their house go to **** it would be racist if I put a for sale sign in my yard, right? Couldn't possibly be that I simply don't want to live next door to a ****hole regardless of who lives in it.
Some in our society need to spend a bit more time chasing the dream rather than crawling around on hands and knees searching for something new to ***** about. I don't have time for it myself.
Do you know why blacks are so concentrated in the inner city? Knowing the history behind that would probably go a long way in you understanding how they got there, why they went there, and how they ended up in poverty.
