C'mon, race baiters....

Do you agree or disagree with these statements?

“Fewer young black and Latino men participate in the labor force compared to young white men. And all of this translates into higher unemployment rates and poverty rates as adults.”
“In troubled neighborhoods all across this country—many of them heavily African American—too few of our citizens have role models to guide them.”


“We know that more than half of all black children live in single-parent households…. We know the statistics—that children who grow up without a father are five times more likely to live in poverty and commit crime; nine times more likely to drop out of school and twenty times more likely to end up in prison.”


“We know young black men are twice as likely as young white men to be ‘disconnected’—not in school, not working.”

Depends on if that "someone" was white or black? Or democrat or republican? Or both? Neither?

neither

Speaking in terms of actual demographic figures? Percentage wise if the percentage in that category is accurate, of course it is not racist.

If it is inaccurate percentage numbers strangled to prove an incorrect point and read as meaning more blacks are on welfare than whites for instance, I'd say it would be racist.

neither

You get an A+++ for that answer. There can be no other one.

Nope. It isn't a word I usually use. That's YOUR baby.

It always depends on context. If demographic information is accurate and is being discussed constructively it can't be racism.

If the information is inaccurate or used to build a demeaning case against a minority then that is racism. Like trying to prove inferiority of another race to your own race.

Your examples to select don't fit because they don't apply.

Baloney. If two people say the same thing, it's either racism or not. There IS no "context".

As I said, none of that is involved in racism. It is context. If one person is trying to prove a race inferior toward a minority race (not a minority individual or group) it is racism. Any ruling race can display racism toward any minority race so it is not limited to black. It is the case they try to build that distinguishes.

Racism from dictionary:
a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
