" there are three types of lies: lies , damn lies , and statistics "

- mark twain

statistics are ALWAYS cirsumstantial. i doubt that any of those studies covered every single black woman in america. stats like that usually only cover people in then immeadiate geographical region or similar social group as the person doing the survey. different areas of different regions of the world have different social trends. anyone who bases an arguement PURELY on "cold hard stats" is desperate and aware that their arguement will crack under the pressure of cold hard facts .
