Who’s having a******ns (race)?

While white women obtain 60% of all a******ns, their a******n rate is well below that of minority women. Black women are more than 3 times as likely as white women to have an a******n, and Hispanic women are roughly 2 times as likely.
just like welfare...rates may be higher but actual numbers are lower.......so since you people like celebrating death, poverty and a******ns of others.......maybe you should celebrate your own.....I h**e being like you h**eful, evil ass people.......

You are confusing the point. I broke things down Left verses Right, Liberal verses Conservative. You are breaking it down Black verses White. By your logic, Hillary and Donald play for the same team and are both against Team Obama. Also in the declining numbers you cite, you fail to account for migrations out of one state and into another.

You have a point in one respect. More w****s are dying than being born. That can be explained in two ways. First my generation, the baby boomers were huge. When I grew up the average number of children per family as I remember was 5. I can remember neighbors having 10. My generation had 1 or 2 kids, and those kids are down to having one. Add in the aging of the baby boomers and the decline is to be expected.

Also you overlook the fact that many W****s are Obama loving Liberal crazies who consider children to be part of the Patriarchal plot to ens***e all women, and you have further low White birth rates.

Your people are falling behind the Hispanics in terms of births.

Everybody is behind Hispanics as they are the youngest. Okay....you're right and I was wrong with my understanding...you did make it a right versus left but the thing is interracial marriage is more prevalent on the left, hence more bi-racial children and children period than those who have limits on who they will marry and have children with. So even with a******ns which have dropped drastically over the years, the pool of "others" on the left will remain larger.

I have no stats but, I do not think the difference in biracial marriage is that large between right and left. The ones I have known over the years are not political in the least. To get back to a******ns. B****s seem to have the most in proportion to their numbers. That is a great tragedy. Family is the greatest thing any of us have. The older I get the more I believe that. All of us get old. You can't stop that. Grandchildren make it bearable. They make it wonderful. That women have a******ns in such numbers and deny their parents the chance to be Grandparents is very sad.

well...I don't judge because I don't know of people's situations and having kids in poverty which the GOP does not seem to mind is just as big of a tragedy...the kid didn't ask to be born into such s**t....but I'll reserve my opinions because OPP is not the place for me to fully express myself...plus I'm not that opinionated...and from welfare to a******ns, the right talks about percentages but actual numbers are the thing.....you'd rather have 20% of a million then 50% of a thousand even though 50% is a higher percentage. The additional number of w****s will always make their percentages lower-yet the actual numbers are always higher.

son of witless

You may not be opinionated but I am. Why 145 years after B****s were given freedom are they still living in such large numbers in poverty? Why are poor Black Women getting pregnant in large numbers outside of marriage and in poverty so that to many of them a******n is their best option? I blame the Rich White Liberals. They need the American Black population to remain an underclass because being Santa Claus is a good way to maintain power. K*****g Black babies is the cost of doing business to Liberals.

Get out more...there are large numbers of upscale b****s from middle class families going to universities and becoming doctors lawyers and engineers and educators. I am not justifying b****s to r****t w****s when their is a whole portion of the country full of poor, suicidal and drug abusing w****s dying at rate higher than everyone. like the r****t ass orangefreak.......his idea of black outreach was to get in front of crowds of white people and paint us all as some uneducated, poor violent criminals who spit out babies irresponsibly....you ought to get out more.....go into big cities and look into boardrooms, colleges, operating rooms and law firms....I'm not the only highly educated black person raised upper middle class with five college educated siblings and two parents in the same household also college educated. You people need to do more for yourselves instead of trying to look down on black people because when you meet a Dr./Professor/Engineer who was that by 35.....you all do the denial thing because your r****m is so inherent that you cannot even fathom black folks in that light........and please realize more white women get a******ns and are on welfare in America.....why do we never discuss destitute white folks or criminal ones? you people act as if all that bulls**t is a black thing.

son of witless

My my my you really got yourself a chip on your shoulders. You know you can't have it both ways. Either B****s are poor persecuted folks or they are upscale rich folks. Are all of those aborted babies and single mothers coming from the rich upscale branch of the Black Race or are there still a large group of poor underclass B****s who are exploited by the rich White Liberal Scumocrats? But lets us stick to the rich folks such as yourself. Why haven't you switched to the party of the rich, the Republicans ? I mean what are the Democrats, the party of the poor and the thirsty, going to do for you? You being a rich Black Guy. Now that you have made it, why do you want to pay high taxes? Especially in California, if you are not employed by the State, it is not in your best interest to ever v**e Democrat.

I do not deny the destitute W****s. The drug using w****s who go from crisis to jail and back again. I have some in my relation. Why do you think we on the Right are in denial about it? You think that my boy Donald J. Trump is insulting your race when he speaks of problems in the Black Community? It is you who are in denial. President Trump is searching for permanent solutions to problems in the Black Community. Democrats do not want the problems fixed. As long as you have places like Ferguson, there is opportunity for Democrats to exploit tragedies.

I'm not the selfish ass type just because I succeeded......that is why i'm not GOP..paying taxes to help the less fortunate instead of people richer than me is my preference...trump is a selfish flaky ass con man who could give a fk less about poor w****s or b****s, but the poor w****s are the ones too stupid to know it....and if you think outreach to people is to use degrading language about them to w****s as if what described is the black entirety, then you people are some r****t dumb ass crackas to begin with.......there is an entire spectrum of black existence to address but you all focus on the portion of the demographics that stokes your r****t inclinations.....imagine my black ass talking to a forum full of b****s regarding the problems of w****s in America and describing appalachia a with alcohol, opioid abuse and suicide as the white norm....are you really that fking stupid not to recognize i'm not concerned but just using the opportunity to degrade w****s "dog whistle Politics" style? You can't be that gotdamn stupid.........

Consumer spending posts smallest gain in six months
PERSONAL consumption expenditures increased just 0.1% in February, below economists’ expectations and down from 0.2% in January. Above, a customer buys lunch at Smolak Farms in North Andover, Mass. (Elise Amendola Associated Press)
By Jim Puzzanghera
Rising incomes and confidence haven’t accelerated consumer spending, which posted its smallest gain in six months in February, the Commerce Department said Friday.
Personal consumption expenditures increased just 0.1%, below economists’ expectations and down from 0.2% in January. Spending increased 0.6% in December.
The slower spending growth came as incomes continued to rise strongly. Personal income grew 0.4% in February after an upwardly revised 0.5% jump the previous month, the Commerce Department said.
Inflation reduced the purchasing power of that extra cash.
The personal consumption expenditures price index increased 0.1% in February, which was down from a 0.4% increase the previous month.
But prices were up 2.1% for the 12 months ended February 28. That was fastest annual rate in nearly five years.
When adjusted for inflation, disposable incomes grew just 0.2% in February.
Rising prices also hit consumer spending, which after adjusting for inflation declined by 0.1%. Still, that was an improvement over a 0.2% decline in January.
So-called core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, increased 1.8% for the 12 months ended Feb. 28.
The Federal Reserve targets 2% annual core inflation.
Inflation had been low in the wake of the Great Recession. But prices have started to rise more quickly, which is a major reason that Fed policymakers increased a key interest rate in March after hiking it in December.
Fed officials have signaled they planned to inch up the rate two more times this year to help keep inflation from getting too high.
Americans chose to save more of their incomes in February, the Commerce Department said. Savings as a percentage of disposable income increased to 5.6%, the highest rate since October.

You know that if you'd be smart as well as rich you would switch parties. You could take that guilt money you are giving to your Democratic Party Massers and contribute to charity. When your Massers take your tax money they take a cut for themselves and then a cut for their buddies, and what ever is left over goes to the less fortunate. If you act like a Republican and give to a worthy charity, then you know where your money is going because YOU control where it goes.

Now why don't you quote me some of that degrading language you mentioned that my boy Trump is using on your Black Community. As far as you describing Appalachia, if you speak t***h, what is the trouble?

I am sorry. For a highly educated man you put together a pretty incoherent paragraph. It is hard to respond to because it is almost unreadable. You are swerving into Glaucon territory. Try to hold a conversation with him for more than three posts.

I believe I asked you to give me Trump's statements disrespecting the Black Community. Once again I ask a L*****t to offer evidence of what they posted and once again I don't get it.

Let me respond to the beginning of your rant which I can make a little sense of. You are bashing MY PEOPLE, poor w****s for supposedly v****g against their own interests by going with Trump over Hitlery.

Poor W****s do not want to be treated like the way you treat poor B****s. They don't want welfare, they want opportunity and jobs. Good paying jobs and opportunity to move up into YOUR STRATOSPHERE. You know, to get off of the bottom. You don't do that by sucking on Government teats.

Trump offers the promise of new industries and good paying jobs. You do that by helping American businesses. Obama did the opposite for 8 years and Hitlery promised more of the same.
