re: "Worst" 2 States for Black Americans using Liberal Criteria.

Disparity is probably greater in certain liberal states where people make more. disparity is higher where ever there is more success. The disparity in Silicon Valley and NYC is pretty insane but it is idiotic to say that poor people are doing worse there just because rich people are better.

Correct.

Obviously, this is a nice gotcha to point out to liberals that disparity isn't the end-all measurement of success as a society.

Also correct, but this was not LSUPimp's point.

Huh? The lengths people will go to to avoid answering a question. It never ceases to amaze me.

---

What lengths? I could guess or I could google and it wouldn't change one damned thing about your silly question.

There is such a thing as a bad or dishonest question, pimpjuice. I know AM radio has made your sort experts at the practice of late. Still pretty easy to spot if one gives half a care or consideration.

So mad. Does a question have to be asked by liberal outlets like Yahoo and Puffington Host to be valid? Just answer the question in the OP. No need to lose your shite.

I'm good, bro. I use google for news. Not a real reader of Huffpo. It's Huffington, btw, not Puffington. What the hell does that mean anyway?

I would guess some wealthy state with decaying major urban areas.

It still doesn't mean what you suggest. So what's the point? Perhaps you should get out more if you truly seek a better understanding of this nation or (if you're really hungry) the world.

Since I was the first poster to respond with what will eventually be deemed the correct answer, I would like to humbly request that my winnings be direct-deposited into my White Fund Account.

Close. But alas, still a Gump.
No soup.

OK, can you give us a hint? Is the correct answer two liberal states where the rich jack up the property tax to keep the poor unwashed far enough away where they're not seen, yet close enough to bestow concern within one Prius battery charge?

Them yankees you know said A

Earlier,I found this article On Puffington Host, that Vanguard of Liberal Piety. When they educate their readers on the "Black Voices" page, they are being wise and thoughtful. LINK

When I asked the EXACT SAME innocuous question, through the Magical qualities of Liberal Illogic, it becomes a threatening question worthy of anger and insult. Alas, Liberalism is deadly serious business, entirely REACTIONARY in nature and thus we have the angry and insulting responses on this thread.

To determine the 10 worst states for black Americans, 24/7 Wall St. created an index of 12 measures from a variety of data sources. The index was designed to assess race-based gaps in access to resources and opportunities in each state, rather than measure the availability of resources and opportunities in those states. Creating the index in this way ensured that states were ranked based on differences between black and white Americans and not levels of socioeconomic development. We ranked the size of the race gap for each measure, with the largest gap receiving the worst score. We excluded states where black residents comprised less than 5% of the population.

To construct the index, we considered data from the U.S. Census Bureau on median household income, poverty rates, educational attainment rates, homeownership rates, and the percentage of people without health insurance. Unemployment figures came from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Data on incarceration rates and disenfranchisement came from the The Sentencing Project and are for the most recent available year. We also considered age-adjusted death rates and infant mortality rates per 100,000 people from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Additionally, we considered an analysis of racially-segregated metropolitan areas authored by William Frey of the Brookings Institution in partnership with the University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research. Educational outcomes for African-American children came from the Annie E. Casey Foundation’s 2014 report, Race for Results: building a path to opportunity for all children.
