Part of the problem arose from said "paternalistic largess", ostensibly paying Black women to have children in order to garner more free government money, leading to over 70% illegitimacy among African Americans? further, statistics show black on white hate crimes occur in far greater numbers even taking into account ratios, yet "whites" (or Asians} do not riot, burn loot etc. While I do not subscribe to the OP, maybe you can at least understand SOME of the frustration?

My point was not that an entire group or class of people should be "banished" from the country. My point was to go visit some of the worst places in the world where life REALLY sucks, get a perspective, come back here and tell me how horrible this country really is. My wording obviously sucked because that intention wasn't very clear to many.
