At least in theory it is possible that all four groups are similar to each other. To make a meaningful conclusion, you need these data. I'd be shocked if there are no status-dependent differences but still.Nanonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26188478.post-53338543691838727922010-07-07T08:24:35.166-07:002010-07-07T08:24:35.166-07:00There is still a big hole in this theory.

Mom is likely to be the first generation to go on to college. They are far more likely to *need* to fight or pull a gun on someone, if only to protect themselves, than whites from a comparable background, who have more generations from associations with poverty.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26188478.post-54319830529311027732010-07-07T03:31:18.570-07:002010-07-07T03:31:18.570-07:00I always figured that black women (and perhaps oth...I always figured that black women (and perhaps other women) who went to college were more likely to pursue a short-term mating strategy. Hence the need to have an education so that they can support themselves as single-mothers, which would then result in them pursuing mating opportunities with violent/aggressive males resulting in violent/aggressive children.<br /><br />If this unverified assumption of mine is correct, then it might be better to look at the children of black fathers, who I would also presume would be more likely to pursue a long-term mating strategy due to the value that an education has for a man pursuing such a strategy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26188478.post-8272381559462028132010-07-07T02:47:59.730-07:002010-07-07T02:47:59.730-07:00Thanks.

Keep in mind, the lower half of the American white population is not that badly behaved, at least not when compared to, say, the lower half of the British white population. So, the black figures aren't that bad.<br /><br />I think social class is real important but the key is to think about it prospectively rather than in hindsight. It's about what kind of people your children are going to marry. When looked at from that perspective, it becomes extremely fascinating to the middle-aged mind.Steve Sailerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11920109042402850214noreply@blogger.com
