post a commentWhich statistic demonstrates exactly what? That black people don't work? That they aren't smart enough to save money? That their houses keep getting broken into, and their savings boosted by white kids who cruise their neighborhoods at night, preying on the helpless?
How many hours per week are worked by the members of "the average white household" in the bottom quntile of "income earners?" In the "average black" household?
Or is it just that there's a better class of convenience store in poor white neighborhoods?
