Boris, your premise is flawed........ you don't DECIDE to become a single Mom........... You decide to fornicate unwisely and end up alone and without a male partner. THAT occurs for a whole shitload of reasons..... from deadbeat maledom to crazy females who can't "nest",-------- among others..........

You have made my point. We need to address this first and foremost not race relations. Single parenthood is slowly killing this country.

Answer my question. There is racism everywhere as there is anti semitism but I believe it is a lot less now than it was in the 60s? Again how does a racist in Boston impact a lady in Boston deciding to become a single mom? Forget the race. We need to educate kids that being a single parent is likely going to cause them and their child to start behind the 8 Ball and be at a disadvantage. I NEVER hear anyone talk about that sans Ben Shapiro.

So there is racism against blacks but you don’t think that racism makes their lives more difficult?

It does of course. There is anti semitism against Jews. There is racism vs. Asians. There is sexism vs. women and gays. There are negative views of fat people. There are a lot of crutches. What is your point? Mine is that racism is dying down and people are a lot more open minded. Broad brushing stuff is simply ridiculous. Are you going to answer my question or keep dodging it? Are you sure you played baseball in college and not dodge ball?

Yes of course it makes their lives more difficult?

NO! It does not make it any more difficult than that of a fat person. It makes it easier in some instances perhaps. IDK. I don't broad brush things. This is my last warning to you. Either you answer my questions or we are done conversing. English is my 2nd language so let me know if you don't understand me. Thank you.

Fat people have challenges too, we just didn't enslave or actively discriminate against them for hundreds of years.

In unrelated news, congrats to the Warriors for winning Game 7.

I know and they'll smoke Cleveland.

I am curious if the Lakers make some plays. They have a ton of cap room next year. They can sign LBJ, PG13 and trade Ingram, Kuzma and Deng to SA for Kawhi. They sign O'Quinn and Redick as FAs.

This gives them a lineup of

PG: Ball
SG: Kawhi
SF: PG13
PF: James
C: O'Quinn

They win the west and play the Celtics in the East....next year!!!

Every time I see LBJ, I think of Lyndon Baines Johnson. That would not be a good FA signing for the Lakers.

Rally the troops

Not enslave but certainly discriminate against. 100% yes.

What is the overweight equivalent to Jim Crow and Redlining?

Also, for all of your talk about BL dodging, you sure seemed to dodge my posts as well.

Which posts?

Blatant job denials, shaming via adds for attractive people. Come on man. And there aren't any real laws to protect these persons. Just fake diets.

• At least 30 million people of all ages and genders suffer from an eating disorder in the U.S.
• Every 62 minutes at least one person dies as a direct result from an eating disorder.
• Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness.
• 13% of women over 50 engage in eating disorder behaviors.
• In a study following active duty military personnel over time, 5.5% of women and 4% of men had an eating disorder at the beginning of the study, and within just a few years of continued service, 3.3% more women and 2.6% more men developed an eating disorder.
• Eating disorders affect all races and ethnic groups.
• Genetics, environmental factors, and personality traits all combine to create risk for an eating disorder.

Racism might have impacted the quality of the school she went to, which might have impacted the amount and/or type of sex education she received.

So, racism again black people does not make their lives more difficult than the lives of white people?

I'll reiterate

NO! It does not make it any more difficult than that of a fat person. It makes it easier in some instances perhaps. Got it? Dodge ball captain.

But racism in the past made the life of an average black person more difficult than the life of an average white person?

YES! When Jesse Owens had to use a separate entrance. When Jackie Robinson was spit on. When Bill Russell had to stay at different hotels than his teammates. Of course. That was abominable and frankly ridiculous. We are past that. At least in my experience we are past that. Being a Jew and coming from nothing to this country, the last thing I would ever do is be racist against people for something they can't control.

Now are you going to answer me or not? Sheesh.

But there’s still racism. It’s not as bad as before but wouldn’t some racism still make life for an average black person more difficult than the life of an average white person?

So now answer me.

We are guessing but 40% of white women are now single parents. I'd rather partner with my leftist "friends" and attack this issue rather than pointing fingers at race. We all agree that having two parents is a huge advantage.

I think it depends. If that black person has two parents I think they have a huge advantage over a white person with one. Asians and Jews are a lot more successful because most have two parents. Its just a stronger family dynamic for some reason. Black people don't have the generational wealth of white people and neither do I btw. So I know that makes it more difficult. But I think we are making great strides and in 50 years we should eliminate that issue. But I really want to understand why the Left refuses to attack the issue of single parenthood.

For example the Cs lost game 7. There are a myriad of reasons why but first and foremost was Rozier going 0-10 from 3 pt range. That to me equates to the single parent issue. Jayson Tatum only took two shots in the 4th quarter...that equates to your racism. Yes, that contributed to the Cs loss but it was #6 or 7 as to why they lost.

Racism is around but it is not the #1 or even #2 or #3 culprit of why there is income inequality in the US.

That is my only point on this. Again even if I am the biggest racist in the world, I have zero impact on a young lady in KY deciding to become a single parent. That is a BAD IDEA and results in that child and herself being behind the 8 ball. I would much rather be a black kid with two parents than a white kid with one from the starting gate.
