CDC: Black men better fathers than white men
americanthinke ^ | January 2, 201 | Ed Straker
Posted on 1/5/2018, 1:45:02 AM by MarvinStinson
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC), which I affectionately refer to as the Diseased Centers of Control, have conducted a study showing that black men make better parents than white men.
The study, conducted in 2013, came to light in a recent Washington Post article on the Post's favorite topic – you guessed it! – of racism.
The study was conducted by the CDC's Division of Vital Statistics, centering on how involved fathers are in the lives of their children. It found the following:
1) Thirty-five percent of white fathers who don't live with their children do not eat meals with their children, while only 31% of black fathers who don't live with their children avoid meals with them.
2) Seventy percent of black fathers help their children use the toilet, while only 60% of white fathers do.
3) Thirty percent of white fathers who don't live with their children don't play with them, while only 25% of black fathers who don't live with their children fail to play with them.
4) Twenty-nine percent of white fathers do not ask their children about their day, while only 21% of black fathers fail to do the same.
5) Forty-one percent of black fathers help their kids with their homework, while only 28% of white fathers do.
To put it bluntly, there is a crisis in the white community. It's the elephant in the room.
We have to thank the CDC for bringing this to our attention. The CDC are funded to fight diseases, but it's great how they take taxpayer money and do all sorts of creative things with it – like this study!

Nobody could be as petty, selfish, shallow and unhappy a person as they are making Trump seem with these BS anecdotes.
If you think there is any truth to this hit piece, ask yourself this: even if Wolff had proof that Trump was as horrible a human being as he is depicting him, why would he publish such a book, unless he hoped to influence public opinion against Trump?
The answer is that he wouldn’t - which demonstrates that is clearly his goal - to smear Trump and damage his public image. Once you accept that is his aim, then you realize he is nothing but a Trump hater whose vision is blinded by that hate, and whose sense of honesty and decency has been compromised by it.

In 2015, 66% of black kids lived in a single-parent home, while 25% of white kids did. I would think that would have made it into one of the columns about what makes a good dad or not.
If these statistics are accurate - it is encouraging that the black dads are still there with their kids to play and help with homework. I’m guessing with the unemployment rates of blacks being about double that of whites that they would have more time at home.

The CDC skewed the statistics about Black men being at home and helping their kids do homework, etc.
Most single black fathers are NOT at the homes of all their kids, only show up to collect some of the welfare check, and are not included in the CDC study.
Other than that, this should win the CDC either a Pulitzer Prize or the Darwin Award for 2018.

This isn't hard to explain, the problem in the black community regarding so many out of wedlock kids isn't due to the majority of black men, it is due to the serial sperm donors who have 7 kids with 7 different women.
Do the math, if there are 10 black dads, 7 of them have an average of 2 kids each, that means the other 21 belong to 3 men, who probably can't spend much time with their kids.

Black “fathers who don’t live with their children” do slightly more with their children than white “fathers who don’t live with their children”.
Maybe the difference is simply some number who lie about not living with the children, so mom can collect more welfare. It is a common scam.

Bannon wants to make Trump out to be the “child” figure the left is painting... give them fodder. Trump is far ahead of the media and the establishment... way ahead of them all!
Trump does things HIS way and so far, he’s done more for the country than any other president. the left won’t report any of it, but it will become evident to everyone .. success comes to the surface.. it will effect us all.
Bannon is not only ugly and unkempt looking.. he’s a traitor.

Freep is unsurprisingly fans of Scott Adams. They also seem really big into this niche theory that Sessions is going after weed explicitly to punish sanctuary states. And/or that it's 11th dimensional chess wherein the wily Keebler Elf is forcing Congress to legalize weed nationally for some reason.
Scott Adams tells you how Jeff sessions may have started the process toward making weed legal
Apparently this is one of those famous "small-government conservatives" I've heard so much about :
quote:
The key here is to totally enforce federal drug law rather than ignore Federal drug laws. States are subordinate to Federal drug laws and may not run out on their own under the doctrine of preemption. The first thing is to start the “no Knock” take down of these drug sellers stores in Colorado and slam these weed shop owners in the federal pen for 20 years. I can’t wait to see these new California pot shops getting ran sacked by DEA!! It will make me so happy. State law does NOT preempt Federal law here — It never has and it never will. Session is now a hero to the people of this country !! Crush narcotic sales!!

At least some principled Freepers, always good to see:
quote: State law does NOT preempt Federal law here
The highest law in the land, State or Federal, is the Constitution. There is nothing in the Constitution about the Federal Governments ability to create and enforce drug laws (i.e. 10th amendment) unless the drugs would cross state boundaries (i.e. interstate commerce)
It always amazes me when Conservatives want a small Federal government except for the part of the Federal government that enforces the laws they agree with.

Taking the theory even further: Sessions is trying to disqualify Dreamers by making them criminals for having ever puffed a doobie. And apparently 88% of Dreamers have ever used weed, well above the ~50% for the US overall for some reason.
quote: ..but I dream.
Scott's in a pot haze of his own here.
Federal Anti-pot laws are not bad laws. They just haven't been enforced effectively and States have been allowed to flout them.
And if your real goal is to disqualify the number persons eligible for DACA consideration due to their breaking of Federal law by smoking pot, the number of eligible DACAs likely drops from ~ 800,000 to ~100,000.
Trump says OK to DACA getting guaranteed funding for the wall and end to chain migration in exchange for a mere ~100,000 eligible DACAs who were smart enough to keep their noses clean (that is, unless the other DACAs are caught doing cocaine.)
His narrative fails on the basis of its premise that Federal pot laws are bad laws. They are not.
FReegards!

.Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being... posted by freeper SMGFan
No idea what that's talking about? From the bottom up,
The reason this is coming up is that the Fire & Fury book makes it abundantly clear that everyone surrounding Trump thinks he's an unstable idiot, and of course they were talking about this on Fox News moments before the tweets. Trump doesn't know how to counter an argument, all he knows is to deny and state that no, of course, it's the exact opposite. No, I'm not senile, I'm stable! No, I'm not an idiot, I'm a fuckin' genius!
This is why I drink.

I can’t tell whether Trump is playing the media or if he is serious in these particular tweets and that is kinda dangerous. I can usually tell. I get the President and like his off center sense of humor but a lot of people don’t and could really take this the wrong way.
If he’s being serious I think he jumped the shark on this one. If joking; he should have been a bit more obvious about it. JMHO. YMMV. FWIW.

Trump is incredibly smart but so are a lot of people.
His ability to convert his intellectual assets into real world e=results qualifies him as a genius
Trump has weathered many crises in his career so he must be pretty stablehand he plays a pretty mean round of golf so he must be pretty good mental and physical condition
Not sure his tweets on the matter are helpful, but they are accurate and true
Trump graduated with high marks from Wharton School of Business so and claims he is stupid or illiterate are ridiculous

This is all these playground infants have left.
After a year plus of failing to convince us that Trump is a Russian spy or that he is about to nuke the world. This is it, to jump up and down like a two year old and say: “you are s big stupid head and I am telling my mommy that you are being mean to me!!!”
Trump’s tweet spells out the clear point: I have been successful in my endeavors, ran for and won the Presidency and continue to be successful. Who is/are the morons?

Someone brought up the Goldwater Rule and then someone criticized the APA for removing homosexuality from their list of mental illnesses, which brings us to
quote:To: JimRed
I think it was in the mid-1970s homosexual & homosexual-sympathetic participants in the APA convention demonstrated (basically publically pouted & threaten to hold their breath until they got their way!). They demanded that homosexuality be removed from the basic “guidebook” of psychiatric & psychological disorders. (How’s that for an example of applying the ‘Scientific Method’!)
This is one of the many reasons I will never accept any argument that psychology\psychiatry (or any form of “personal counseling”!) is anything more then “made-up badly applied voodoo”!

It's always fascinating to watch. The delusional become increasingly insane, as their clutch on their delusions weakens and the delusions fail. Their hysterical pandemonium can be amusing--even funny--but it also tends to get dangerous. People will KILL to protect their delusions.

Oh look, more Scott Adams.
quote:To: Diana in Wisconsin
“I went from VERY successful businessman, to top T.V. Star...to President of the United States (on my first try).”
And then he claims he’s a “stable genius.”
Ever since I read Scott Adams’ explanation of “talking past the sale” I’ve looked at Trump’s tweets from that perspective.
He WAS a successful businessman and a top TV star, and he DID become President, and on his first try, to boot. But if he’d have just printed that alone and stopped, it would have just looked like a vacuous boast, or even protestation, along the lines of Nixon’s “I am not a crook.”
But that line was the sale line, the point he wanted people to simply accept as reality, and to get that accomplished, he then claims he’s a “stable genius”. That claim, of course, exploded heads across the liberal spectrum and in every newsroom in the country because that’s what they focused on, the “stable genius” claim.
But in doing so, they left standing his sale points, implicitly acknowledging them. Trump’s supporters are laughing at all the heads exploding while taking in the three assertions he’s legitimately made at the outset of the tweet.
And you’ve gotta love that “(on the first try)” dig at Hillary going down, not just once, but twice.

You see, they are "rightful" leaders while Trump is illegitimate.
Secondly, holding black people to white mental health standards is absolutely racist. They are different and deserve different standards. But if a white person says that black people are different, they are a racist.

Thanks, Rich. Yes, I think this must be said boldly and frequently. The mass delusions, the mass hysteria of the Left are as dangerous as they are laughable.
What's amazing is that some of these people actually believe the insanity that they're spewing forth. (Some don't, of course.) But the power of denial can never be overestimated.
The tale of Oedipus and Jocasta was laughable until Sigmund Freud explained it in terms of the subconscious mind. Then, of course, it made perfect sense; they knew all along that they were mother and son.
The Left is similarly in denial about President Trump and his immense virtues, brilliance, and heroism; they just want the truth not to be so as desperately as Oedipus and Jocasta wanted the truth not to be so.
It's an old, old story, as old as Western Civilization itself, and it appears that Western Civilization is going to destroy itself because of the very things that the Greek tragedies warned against at the very beginning of Western Civilization: hubris and denial.
Nobody can say that they weren't warned. Oedipus and Jocasta were warned too.

White House seeks $18B to extend border wall over next 10 years
Let's see how Freep reacts to the news that the Magical Wall that will Save America will take a decade to build and cover less than half of the Mexican Border. (And cost way more than they were promising, but that goes without saying.)
Eh, just buy them out.
quote:To: BeauBo
Our border with Mexico is irregular and impractical, thanks the Rio Grande River that is very shallow and easily crossable.
Here's my proposal:
(1) U.S. gives $50 billion to Mexico and purchases Baja California, along with the land 10 miles south of the existing border with AZ, NM, and TX
(2) All illegals, DACA, guest-workers, illegals in jails and prisons, and anchor babies move to Baja California and create their own nation (Azteca!)

This wall is never going to happen. I love President Trump and everything he stands for and has accomplished thus far. But, if he does not get this task accomplished it will have been a disappointing presidency because the future of this country depends on a leak proof wall and huge curbs on immigration, including Anchor Babies where people come on vacation to the US and have their kids born as citizens. We are truly a stupid country. The Democrats are treasonous for placing party over country. Trump is our last and only hope on this issue. If it’s not significantly completed in his first term, it will be over because Democrats and RINOs will see to it.

It is just a proposal, heading into negotiations. This proposal does seem detailed, and is consistent with other indicators that have been seen over the months. It would be a fat addition to the budget for border security, if approved.
Democrats might not agree to anything in an election year though, preferring to have the issue heading into the election. We’ll have to see what, if anything, Trump can get to get started. Art of the Deal.
He did end Obama’s DACA policy when the time approached for budget negotiations, so he had those chips to bargain with.

The Wall hasn't been built, and yet "Illegalism" has dropped dramatically. It's almost as if the Wall is unnecessary for border security. 
quote:To: eartick
The problem of Illegalism started to diminish drastically with Trump’s election and will continue no matter what the blind, deaf and dumb think.

Let's just hire them, what could go wrong?

Better than shooting - put them to work building the wall. Stop deporting and start forming work crew. Pay them $700 a month with three hots and a cot for 8 hours a day 6 days a week. On Sunday’s they get their choice of a Catholic Preist or a Baptist minister or to sleep late.
Let's them lay brick and pour concrete until they are ready to go back to wherever.

And the stunning ignorance that the vast majority of illegal immigrants come here legally, not sneaking over the border, and our own agricultural industry is heavily complicit in it because much of that industry runs on what is for all intents and purposes slave labor.

People havent been staying away though. There's plenty to mine, Freep is always miserable, even, sometimes especially when they're winning.
It's just that Freep doesn't quite have the traffic it used to, between all the purges every election cycle and that all the right wing youth goto reddit. It's a mirror of our dead gay forum.

Walmart increases minimum wage, hands out bonuses, crediting Trump
Let's find out what Freep thinks of a different kind of shithole.
To be honest I was expecting another Trumpwinsagain circlejerk but I was actually surprised to see some Freepers calling out Walmart for this pithy "reward."
quote:To: nwrep
Not exactly great. You have to be an employee for 20 years to get the 1,000 dollars. And the raise is beginning employment from 9 to 11 dollars, but quite a few already make that and more. It’s be better to say EVERYONE gets a 1.50 raise to make it equitable. I get that it is cool that they are throwing out crumbs but let’s be honest about it.

They could have done nothing and spiffed the shareholders and screwed the employees.
They didn’t.
Not good enough for you I guess.
Walmart hires people who could not work anywhere else. McDonalds feeds people nobody else will feed.
And yet, they are still not doing enough. It is very, very difficult to run a business that size and do the right thing, when Uncle Sam is basically compelling you to screw over everybody you care about.

Walmart is abruptly closing several Sam's Club stores and laying off thousands [100+ stores?]
What one hand gives the other takes away.
quote:To: GIdget2004
Instead, they learned that their store would be closing when they found the store's doors locked and a notice announcing the closure
That is really traumatic for many people. Not a decent thing to do.

Leaving a big store open (x100) costs a LOT of money if they’re losing money. Doesn’t help when everyone working there is depressed & desperate upon hearing the news before it closes; also compels them to work when they’d really rather be looking for work. Shut the doors, give ‘em 2-4 weeks pay, don’t make ‘em slog thru the tragedy of closing.

Not surprising. Several years ago, Sam’s CEO, an African-American female, gave an interview where she PROUDLY proclaimed that she DELIBERATELY discriminates against better qualified white people and instead hires what she herself admitted were less qualified candidates. After reading that, we decided to drop our Sam’s membership, and haven’t missed it at all.

But in the hands of Trump, it is magnificent. Thanks, Obama and Clinton, for closing one gap in the separation of powers. Now, we have to stop the Judicial branch from thinking they are Congress.
It’s like Parliamentary government, where elections have MAJOR consequences. The prime minister always comes from the majority party, so things can turn on a dime. Sometimes that’s a good thing, sometimes not. LOL

While it is tough on the workers, they can thank the President for creating an economy where hopefully replacement jobs can be had much easier today.
