re: Black XM radio going after Kentucky "What about the conditions in McConnell's State?"

So, I saw this same topic from a listing of the Worst 25 Counties in the US, in which 10 counties were in Kentucky. That ranking was mainly based on poverty. Appalachia has true poverty: kids without shoes that have to chew on sticks to ease the pain of rotten teeth. Not "ghetto poverty" where mama has an iPhone and gets her hair and nails did, yet her kids go without food.

But guess what? You will not find a single one of those places in Kentucky on that list on the top 25 Most Violent Neighborhood in the US. Baltimore has 4 of the top 10 most violent neighborhoods in the US.

Both of these lists destroy the narrative that blacks are violent because they are poor. The white kids in Appalachia are likely poorer but are not as violent.

My father was raised by his mother during the depression after his dad died when my father was just 8. They were very poor, but my dad was not violent.

It is time that the black "leaders" quit making excuses and start making a difference. A few years ago, I listened to Jesse Jackson on the radio. It was a 1-hour show of nothing but complaints about America. The very next show was a 1-hour show of Asian-Americans, in which they praised this nation. I thought the shows were talking about 2 different Americas.
