Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

No, it wasn't. It wasn't rhetorical.

Just because you don't know what rhetorical means, doesn't mean it wasn't rhetorical.

The study is about the correlation between single-motherhood and child poverty. Don't take a random quote from the article in some attempt at gotcha, when you didn't even address the question.

It doesn't really conclude anything other than the evidence is showing that marriage might not be the great savoir of children from poverty that some might think. That does NOT change the fact that black women by far in a way are the largest single mother group according to the data. Now, ill grant you that it doesn't say anything about the race of the father. There might well be hispanic, white and Asian men that are the fathers in question.

Just ignoring the fact doesn't help. Poverty doesn't explain the entire discrepancy. Unjustly incarecerated black men might be an answer? Justly incarecerated black men? Chauvinistic tendencies in a social group?

More to the point of the meme. It's a legit question. Rude and racist, but true. All the other questions in the meme are blatantly racist since they don't even quantify.
