Wait, are we discussing Black people or poor people? I'm genuinely confused. If we're discussing poor people then quite possibly their income is the prohibitive factor in getting the housing they want rather than the colour of their skin. Maybe it seems like ancient history but not too long ago we had a bust in the housing market as credit was freely extended by banks and too many people took on mortgage obligations that they couldn't fulfill. There's a decreased supply of housing amongst Black people? So is there a lot of homeless people that have good credit and steady income but they just can't find a residence due to racist landlords not letting them lease?
If you weren't aware, black households, on average, have a lower income and a lower net worth compared to households of other races. Blacks are disproportionately represented among the poor.
Where's your evidence they commit less "suspension worthy offences"? If there's none, then why draw any conclusions on the fact they are suspended at higher rates than white students?
I said their is no evidence that they commit less suspension worthy offenses.
Here's the source for that statement.
That explains out of wedlock birth? So women wouldn't want a poor man as a husband but would want one as the father of their child? Maybe just maybe, the less and less wealth and financial difficulties arise from having to support numerous children when your 20 and don't have a high school diploma rather than the converse of hey I'm 18 and don't have any money or education, I'm going to have as many kids as possible.
People tend to have sex. Most pregnancies are unplanned. Black non-hispanics, on average, have 0.2 to 0.3 children more than white women (
source). So if you took a group of 5 black women, and 5 white women, there'd be a total of one more black child than white children.
Of course, fertility rates vary by income (
source). This may be due to education affecting both results, or it may be due to other factors such as the poor deciding to focus more on children than work. I wouldn't be surprised that if the fertility rates are corrected for race, we'd fine little or no difference.
You seemed to like taking immigrant population percentages as indicator of "desirable countries to live in" from Andorra and Monaco, two of the least populated countries in the world, do you think those are typical?
I'm taking per capita rates from many nations. If you want to compare rough population equivalents, the Eurozone has more people than the US, and a greater percentage of people who are immigrants.
OK, for what it's worth other cities have a murder every other day, or twice a week, yet would have much higher rates of violence based on their size. It doesn't change the fact that the police will be out in those areas as it's their job to prevent crime and most likely searching people trying to get guns off the street and keep a presence out there to deter crime, do to this likely more Black teens will get arrested for drugs. Many white kids are likely smoking weed in nice suburban communities that have no crime problems and the police don't have nearly as much to worry about. That explains that difference for you.
So you're saying that black teens will be disproportionately affected by drug arrests. Congrats, you're learning how the system is biased! But wait - it gets better. It leads to a disproportionate sentencing for African Americans. After all, the more drug arrests, the greater the chance that you're going to serve time. Of course, being able to afford a good defense will help avoid a conviction, and potentially lesson the penalty if convicted - but wait, guess what group tends to have lower average income and wealth? (This probably helps explain why African-Americans, on average, receive more severe sentences.)
See how this quickly becomes a mess where several small factors combine to have a greater result than any one factor alone?
