Kindergarten teachers are asking five year old their preferred gender.

The takeoff point for this story is that the “gap” between the white home ownership rate and the black home ownership rate in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Statistical Area–the article itself is vague, referring mostly to Minneapolis, but this seems clear from the accompanying charts–is the widest in the nation:
In the Minneapolis metro area, 77% of white residents own homes, compared with 25% of Black residents—a 52-percentage-point difference, larger than in any other major U.S. city….
Actually, the Twin Cities are home to a number of such “gaps,” most notably, in educational achievement. The reasons for this are historic, but the most obvious causal factor is that 15 or 20 years ago (it could still be true, but I haven’t seen the numbers lately) the U.S. zip code that had the highest rate of illegitimate births in the country was North Minneapolis. But don’t hold your breath waiting for liberals to talk about that.
A trove of new research suggests that one factor is a tool of discrimination from 100 years ago: racially restrictive covenants that were attached to thousands of Minneapolis homes in the early 20th century, prohibiting sales to many minorities.
This is a profoundly silly theory. First of all, race-restricted covenants have been unenforceable, as the article acknowledges, since 1948, and have been banned in Minnesota since 1962. The idea that somehow, 60 to 75 years later, those long-gone covenants are still preventing blacks from buying homes, is ridiculous on its face.
Further, the number of blacks who were affected by such covenants was minuscule. As the article notes, “In the early 20th century, Black residents made up just 1% of the population.” Virtually all of the Twin Cities’ black population has moved to the area after restrictive covenants were abolished.
Out of wedlock birth and single parent households are the engine that drive nearly every social pathology you can think of. School drop out rate, drug use, teen pregnancy, incarceration rates, you name it, the overwhelming majority of the people engaging in these behaviors come from a broken home.
We all know this, we've known it for 50 years and we don't even talk about it at the government and policy level.
This is the fist I have heard this being addressed like this anywhere. What the hell is your point Mr. Helper?
Look at the Obama's, do you think they have tried to discouraged their kids from having babies out of wedlock? Same with leftists like the Dazzler, do you think he encouraged his daughter to have a kid out of wedlock? Of course not. But when it comes to passing along that message to others they lose their voices.
They know that having a kid out of wedlock is a bad idea and will have a negative impact on their kid's lives but they don't feel black folks in general are mature enough to be given that same message.
But I'm just being a crank. I actually do enjoy watching your childlike wonder when stumbling onto a new talking point. Like hearing the Beatles for the first time (just kidding, the Beatles suck).
Jeezus dude, just stick to the topic. Your contrived wonderment and resulting lack of sense is blinding.
The lack of discussion about the real problems in the black community is staggering. It is never discussed. As a matter of fact it is avoided by the media at all costs.
