Says there are 3 times as many whites below the poverty line as blacks. Doesn’t break it down by state.

Did you just make this up?

There are more Whites below the poverty line than blacks......thats common knowledge. Almost 1 out of 4 blacks is in poverty...1 out of 10 for Whites. There are more White people in the USA...Not sure what you're on about..

Is this about being democrats being poor AF? Is this about the states I mentioned being the most diverse? Use your words.

Lol. Seems like you want to walk back what you said and say something different. Go ahead, I won’t stop you.

Im not walking back anything. If you can't enunciate what you are trying to say thats not my problem, its yours. So go for it. You say there are 3 times more White people below poverty than blacks. Ok.. What is the point? Did I say there were less Whites that were poor? (hint:no).

Are you assuming all Whites vote Republican?

Lolol. I asked you if there’s a link to support what you said. The one you provided does not. Can you supply one or did you just make it up?

Edit: I guess I see your confusion. I said doesn’t break it down by state. I meant to say doesn’t break it down by political affiliation.*

Make what up? There are multiple statements in my post. I said USE YOUR WORDS. Census.gov backs up every statement I mentioned though.

Here is more evidence for you:
1. Trends in party affiliation among demographic groups

Please please tell me I don't have to do the 8th grade level math for you like I do for Luther every few months.

You’re the one bitching about how I understood what you were trying to say. I’m not going to put words in your mouth. Show a link that supports what you said.

Are you suggesting that those "red" southern states are only among the poorest in the country because they have some black people living in them? Whatever point you are trying to convey isn't coming through clearly.

Yes. Black people are the poorest people in the country. I am willing to bet that you'll find that those same states probably score lower education wise as well.

Karen is a reference to White women who are sticks in the mud. Apparently Karen is a stereotypical White peoples name (I dont know any Karens). Jenny is a reference to a white chick a black dude is f##king while his black chick is "unawares"...

That is quite an ignorant and prejudiced line of thinking. As @RockyTop85 pointed out in post #30,951, there are many more whites below the poverty line in those states, than there are blacks.

Per Merriam-Webster.com:

The Definition of the English word "Intercourse": noun .... in-ter-course

(1) : connection or dealings between persons or groups.

(2) : exchange especially of thoughts or feelings : communion.

(3) : physical sexual contact between individuals that involves the genitalia of at least one person.

********************

If Breitbart thinks that Joe Biden's use of this word is bizarre, then maybe they should take three seconds and look up the definition of "intercourse", so they could see that there is more than just one meaning of the word? Any 3rd grader should understand that Biden's usage applied to the 1st definition shown above, which can be easily found on "merriam-webster.com". The only thing strange is that the people at Breitbart either didn't know that "intercourse" doesn't necessarily only refer to "sexual intercourse" - in which case, they were either too lazy to look it up, or they are just plain ignorant... or perhaps even both... or maybe they are the pervs, who are only capable of applying the use of any English word to any possible sexual connotation?

Okay, but Joe using that term while he's currently under allegations as a groper is, well. Not a good look for him.

That is being hyper-sensitive. This is the sort of thing that will only be of bother to someone who is going in search of offense. A word's definition doesn't change due to any individual's given set of circumstances. "Not a good look for him"??? It's not a good look for the people of Breitbart, who apparently didn't realize that the meaning of the word "intercourse" doesn't necessarily have to include a sexual component.

79 isn't wrong though. He just said something you didn't want to hear.

He is dead wrong and I just explained why. There are many more white people in those southern "red" states, such as Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama... etc., living in poverty, than there are black people.

You mean you understood what I was talking about? I can’t imagine how...

I was just genuinely curious whether it was made up or not.

Population below the poverty line:
Kentucky: white: 586k; black 93k
Arkansas: white: 312k; black 132k
Oklahoma: white: 365k; black 74k
Mississippi: white: 208k; black 334k
Alabama: white: 382k; black 349k
Louisiana: white: 358k; black 434k
South Carolina: white: 356k; black 331k
West Virginia: uncontested.

2 of 8 isn’t so bad, I guess.

When it became obvious he was FOS and had no basis, I looked around on my own. I did find a 2004 political scientist’s research saying there was a fairly strong correlation between poor voters in poor states and voting democrat.

Given the growing correlation of people without a college degree voting Republican (see FL’s link) and the very strong negative correlation between a college Degree and poverty (see the Census data he linked) plus my own anecdotal observations of poor southern whites... I'm skeptical that this research is still valid.

I am a little surprised that there are more blacks below the poverty line in Louisiana, but I have only ever been to New Orleans, and I'm not familiar at all with other parts of the state. For the most part, he is wrong... but I will concede Mississippi and Louisiana.

.... and it doesn't even make sense coming from a Trump supporter. The crowds at Trump's rallies don't include much diversity, either from a racial or socioeconomic standpoint. They are a homogeneous mixture.

I’m really not.

I don’t really want to share personal information about my life before law school but I had significant experience with poor people in Appalachia and the Delta and I found the two areas to be very similar in that they’re warm, kind, respectable people. The demographics are just nearly reversed.

Hah. Wrong. Its 100% FACT. Again, Math is the enemy of the left.

Are there more Whites below the poverty line that blacks in those states? No. Not really. Lets take Mississippi. Mississippi is the poorest state in the Union if we ignore Puerto Rico (which we should).
3,000,000 people. 59% White. 38% White. All other races under 1% so lets ignore them.
1,770,000 Whites. 1,140,000 Blacks.
Poverty rate:
Blacks 31.3% -353,4000
Whites 12.1% - 214,170
Mississippi Population 2020 (Demographics, Maps, Graphs)
Mississippi Report - 2018 - Talk Poverty

The poverty rates don't change too much state to state when they are saturated in diversity. In the end there is around 17 million Whites below poverty nation wide. Blacks and hispanics are lower number wise but higher per capita but when combined outnumber Whites. If you adjust those numbers for the way most races vote politically, well, you're going to find that democrats are more poor. They are also less educated. Hate to blow up the myths you've been believing from facebook and CNN.

Just kidding, I'm not.
