• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

How much of cause of societal strife in the U.S. is captured in this chart?

Economic strife if nothing else.

Aren't nearly all our problems rooted in economics, though? From education, to healthcare, to criminal justice...you are treated very differently in this country, depending on your economic status, which your upbringing plays a huge role in shaping.

Big difference between being raised with 1 vs 2 parents in the home, and everything that comes along with that, including either two incomes or one parent staying home raising the kids. We aren't supposed to talk about that though. Shouldn't we be discussing our systemic racism instead🙄😡
 
That’s embarrassing for everybody, but good lord how did white supremacy cause that number for blacks to be so high? If you are black you are more likely not to have a dad than you are to have one.

I’ve always seen the “born out of wedlock” stat but this shows who actually flies the coup and doesn’t participate.

I’m all for helping remedy this if the democrats ever get tired of pushing policies that are actually systemically racist.
