Loyal to the end
Southie, you only embarass me by consistently demonstrating your inept and sloppy research coupled with your willful yet proud ignorance. I'm actually embarassed for you. But hope springs eternal, so let me take you to school again:
First off, this is what you originally stated:
about 25% of black males kill each other before the age of 25, and crappy public schools ensure the demise of most who are left
And this is what the source of your statement you provided actually said:
And tragically in the last two decades, murder has been at or near the top of the list of the leading causes of death of black males under age 25 years.
Now you're not a stupid man, so I trust I don't have to explain the glaring differences here, and why your statement is not only inaccurate, but based solely on a generalized observation of one columnist.
And as to the statements of the PRO-LIFE organization that is black, here's a few statements from a professional in the field that may enlighten you:
Behind virtually every abortion is an unintended pregnancy. African American women have higher abortion rates than their white peers because they have much higher rates of unintended pregnancy--three times higher than those of white women. In other words, there is no need to resort to far-flung conspiracy theories to explain the higher abortion rate among black women.

Like I told you before Southie, your David Duke inspired approach just isn't cutting it. You consistently on one end portray black people as perpetual dupes of the great socialist/communist/Democrat/liberal conspiracy...only to give them credit as semi-intelligent good little negroes when they tell you what you want to hear. But when black folk tell you different, well as I mentioned here your attitude becomes different.
Your a mass of contradictions derived from your stubborn defense of your willful ignorance and preconceived notions. Nothing surprising there....carry on.
I'm embarassed for you, Southie....you're just too dumb and proud to see that. You consistently contradict yourself...portraying black folk as eternal patsies of the dreaded socialist/communist/liberal/democrat conspiracy....yet when some black person(s) tells you what you want to hear, suddenly they are good little negros that have seen the light. Yeah, that old hat has been kicke around for centuries, long before David Duke and his ilk gave you a new way to "intellectualize" your prejudices.
Here's your original quote:
And tragically in the last two decades, murder has been at or near the top of the list of the leading causes of death of black males under age 25 years.
Here's what your source said:
about 25% of black males kill each other before the age of 25, and crappy public schools ensure the demise of most who are left.
I trust I don't have to spell out the glaring error in your statement, or that your source gave a generalized opinion, which is NOT documented statistical fact. Now you can run along and give DOJ reports on black crime rates, but you can't find a word for word corroboration of your original statement. I hope you understand the differences before wasting time repeating your error.
And as for the abortion information you put forth from an anti-abortion/pro-life organization that happens to be black....here's a little contrary information from a doctor in the field that should enlighten you:
Behind virtually every abortion is an unintended pregnancy. African American women have higher abortion rates than their white peers because they have much higher rates of unintended pregnancy--three times higher than those of white women. In other words, there is no need to resort to far-flung conspiracy theories to explain the higher abortion rate among black women.

Wow Taichi, you must have worked on this for some time to respond twice to the same post with a little different grammar each time. Unfortunately you failed on both points, both times.
First, you claim that my source said what I said and vice-versa. Then you whine that we didn’t use the exact same language; what a limp-wristed response from you because the fact remains that a leading if not the leading cause of death of black males is, black males.
Second, you cite someone’s opinion as to why a majority abortion clinics are located in minority areas. The fact is, they are, which is exactly what I’ve stated. You can rationalize why all you want, but Margaret Sanger and the KKK have met their goals through liberal policies, which you, as a black liberal, fully support.
