before the War on Poverty black families used to be intact.

I started to respond to this and realized I would be in trouble if I did. Even here, I can't be honest with my thinking without laying myself open to being called a "racist." There is a lot of data about the makeup of various ethnic families in academic files that will never see the light because of this problem.

Charles Murray exposed some of it in his book, "The Bell Curve" and almost got run out of academia for doing so. That was about the intelligence levels, but there is more on the socializing of people.

A lot of it you can't discuss because it would not accomplish anything and would only hurt people on an emotional level. But the problem with this approach is that discussions get skewed because some facts have to be ignored. Questions can't be asked or answered.
