New report details racial gap among US children

NEW YORK (AP) — In every region of America, white and Asian children are far better positioned for success than black, Latino and American Indian children, according to a new report appealing for urgent action to bridge this racial gap.

Titled "Race for Results," the report is being released Tuesday by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, which for decades has worked to improve child well-being in the United States.

The foundation also produces annual "Kids Count" reports, with reams of state-specific data, but these generally have not focused on race. The new report tackles the topic head-on, with charts and ratings that convey dramatic racial discrepancies.

Generally, white and asian families stay together (with two, different-sex parents) and nurture their childeren in a loving environment with good examples.

Of the others, too many are on welfare, illegal entrants, or simply tromped on by the government. There are exceptions to these generalities - but the exceptions generally exhibit conformance to accepted traditions - or a great reaction to an affirmative action boost!

This report should come as no surprise.

DUH!!

This is nothing new. When you have a birth certificate that says FATHER: Unknown, chances are you aren't going to be as successful as the families with known and active parents.

This report is focused on race. If it were focused on "home Environment", the results would be the same. If it were focused on "parental involvement", the result would be the same. If it were based on "cultural heritage", the results would be the same. Must have been written by Al Sharpton or some other racist.

Millions of tax payer dollars later since the 1960's what has changed? It won't change until more are brave enough to escape the Democrat plantation.

There it is in a nutshell. Of course the democrats will continue to claim (lie), it's this and it's that and all the while blacks will continue to fall behind because they fall for all the BS that's being shoved down their throats by the shovel fulls. Not a thing will change and it will get worst until the black community themselves wise up.

School systems are spending almost all of their resources on African American children with few results. Perhaps the fact that over 85% of those children are born out of wedlock is the gap that needs to be reduced. Why schools and society get blamed for adults who have many kids they cannot support is a mystery. The rest of us can't support them either and are going broke in the process.

Even as children we learned to apply ourselves to getting a job done, even if was just school work. That attitude came from our environment at home. There lies the difference. If the parents have relied on the government to survive then the children will follow suit. Democrats have done this to gain votes. Years ago we had Johnny Cash, Bob Hope, and Johnny Paycheck. Today with Obama, we have no Hope, Cash, or Paycheck.

the black people are eating this up as fast as it's dished out. We will give you this and that and more and more for nothing. I really don't blame them.
I wouldn't mind having some free stuff too!

Proof that entitlements don't work for advancing as a person.

4:50 there a big difference in wanting something for free and having to rely on welfare for your very existence.

Society needs to stop taking the blame and start telling it like it is and not what those people want to hear. The 85% illegitimacy rate has a lot to do with it but when you are dealing with people who don't even value honesty telling them the truth is useless. They have to be shown their wicked ways will not be tolerated.
They need to be called out for what they are-useless individuals who haven't a place in a civil society. It can start with isolating your own children from those types. There is nothing good to come from an association with them anyway. They nor their families have nothing to offer and their immoral ways will rub off on decent people's children.
