(Actually, I have for 30 years or so. I was a boys and girls basketball, softball and volleyball coach,volunteer, at Rowley Park in South Central Los Angeles while in college. I donated health care to the homeless for years in San Diego at the Joan Kroc/St Vincent Depaul Center. I am a charter member of Camp Comfort, a support organization for children who have lost parents or siblings, as well as the Mount San Vincent home for very similar kids. I was a big brother helper at a primarily black boys home in Chicago. I employ 7 blacks in my business. I guess I forgot to throw away their resumes. I am a very charitable racist)) or do you just enjoy pointing out the flaws of different races. i don't know your race but no matter what it is, i can find a website that shows a statistic of a greater percentage having some flaw. wanna know what race is the number one abuser of heroin?? (I would say Caucasian. my personal anecdotal experience tells me Caucasians get hooked on opiates way easier than blacks)the number of uses is in the hundreds of thousands. guess what?? i'm not going to tell you what race because i don't spend all day trying to prove that other people are flawed.
