You certainly have not documented that I said anything other than that ... and of course you know that you can't ... hence all your sand throwing and mud slinging.

We will try ONE more time and show the board:
Were blacks as well off socioeconomically in the 1950's as Whites given that they had such a stable family structure. And if NOT, why not? This is what you never answered before. And still avoid.

It was interesting reading how Lawyer Ron got his name. I personally think Perfect Drift is a wonderful name for a horse and an activity I love. Got to be one of my favorite horse names.

it really is about class, not race. we immigrated to America in the 50s without a cent to our name and we did ok for ourselves. your economic position in the 50s hasn't a thing to do with your poor status today. it's what you've done in between that matters.

It matters not one whit what I believe about how "well off socioeconomically" anyone was 50 years ago ... those are established facts which anyone who has the desire and intelligence to look them up can learn for themselves.

Nor does it matter a whit why I believe those facts came to be what they were.

Why is it so important to you what I believe about established statistical data from 50 years ago? I don't get it ... and I doubt that anyone else does ... or cares ... either.

What could possibly explain your obsession with something so meaningless?

blacks have every opportunity to be successfull. if they are not it's nobody's fault but their own. Just ask Bill Cosby, Juan Williams and many others. who's fault is it their illegitimate birth rate is 99%.

It is a huge event that Lawyer Ron has made this comeback. I hope he is even better than he was prior to the injury. He is a horse we can cheer for.

Or ... as I suggested above ... they can consult the works of Dr. Thomas Sowell, Dr. Walter Williams, or Dr. Shelby Steele.
