I mean, I don’t know what to say.

You’d completely understand if you saw the population of black people here and the population of white people. There seems like a larger than average gap between the two in St. Pete.

You almost have to go to the south side to even see a black person.

The rest of that city has experienced an amazing gentrification but, the hood refuses to allow improvements. I used to work that area as a Probation and Parole Officer in the early 90’s. It has never changed.
I live on 5th Ave NE. It’s amazing what has happened since I have moved here.

And it would still be suicide to go to the south side at night.

Lol do they look into why black people protest tearing down projects and don't take care of the areas they do live in?

Or why if given free housing they don't renew termite treatments or fix water leaks then blame every one but themselves?

If it’s always due to racism then they will have to explain why Asians do better than white people in almost every category.

Nigerian are better educated, earn higher incomes and are wealthier than average whites. So it’s not just Asians.

Also, did you know whites are underrepresented in the infamous 1% wealthiest Americans?

Their researchers are as bad as their football team.

1-8 for you non-fans.

During their research, they found several things like:



Missed the following:

Blacks are employed as NBA players at a higher rate than whites.

Blacks use jeri-curl at a higher rate than whites.

Blacks also care more about "ash" than whites.

This is basically the core of the issue and what the apologists refuse to admit.

You can get a house in North BR for like $50,000 and rent an apartment for like $400/month. Where in the frick is this coming from? Absolutely ridiculous

More affirmation of racism by the study in perpetuating the oppression of Black people by claiming they are victims.

Why do they think Black people do not have the ability, talents, ethics, and rights to stay out of prison, be treated fairly in the justice system, obtain better housing, rise out of poverty, and trust medical care.

The Big Lie continues.

How can this be even measured?

-Mistrust by Black citizens in the healthcare system, on average Black men and women die earlier than their white counterparts

The first part (unmeasurable) and second part of this statement are mutually exclusive of each other.

Powerman to be here shortly to say we need to respect these erudite scholars and base public policy on their findings. Just like with the death penalty.

Stop committing crime specifically violent crime

Nobody is guaranteed affordable housing. Not even 'white' people.

-Compared to their white counterparts, Black people are more likely to live in poverty in St. Pete


Stop committing crime specifically violent crime. Start valuing education. Stop out of wedlock births. Stop depending on the government for solutions to your problems.

Stop killing each other (and everyone else in disproportionate numbers)

The root cause of everything in that list is the systemic racism in the education system,

which the Teacher's Unions protect and support.
