They've higher levels of education & income, and their incarceration rate is markedly lower as well.

You mean like in Jamaica and Haiti?

I didn't say it was "easy", but that's besides the point. My point is they're choosing to live there. The means to get out exist; whether pell grants, federal subsidized & unsubsidized loans, tax credits for work rehabilitation, tax credits for those on multiple types of "welfare" (TANF, Food Stamps, etc.). They could work hard and do it; they choose not to.

The fact that it isn't easy is not beside the point. It IS the point. It's hard to compete with people who live in higher income communities that have better school systems. It's hard to become a contributing member of society when that same society has shown for the last hundred odd years that it doesn't want you to contribute.
Tell me, Hip Hop Bunny, what is the real reason the black community makes on average less than whites? You don't seem to wanna say. You just wanna make hints. Are they just lazy? Are they just stupid?
