Beattyville, KY – The White Man's Detroit

[Asclepias]

Meathead be like: 127% of blacks are children under the age of 9 on welfare. 127% is a big number and percent signs are my favorite thing.

We get it already. You don't get math and writing is not your strong suit. Anyway, Beattyville has 2000 residence with 25% unwed mothers while Detroit has 713,000 at 87% black of whom at least 72% are unwed mothers.

I know it hurts. but seriously, figure it out for yourselves or ask a white or Asian.

It hurts alright...

I understand it's a bitch. Jumping up and down while trying to do math cannot possibly help btw.

She 57. I thought she was 107.

Poverty is the single biggest reason Kentucky is one of America's sickest states.

Not only is Kentucky one of the nation's poorest states, but it also is plagued by a type of poverty that makes things even worse — rural poverty that has eroded health for generations.

In Harlan County, for instance, men can only expect to live to 66, Harvard University statistics from 2001 say. That's a shorter life span than men in the developing countries of Turkey, Ecuador and Colombia.

When poor people get sick, experts said, everyone pays through higher taxes and rising medical costs.


Poverty fuels medical crisis

Too much Mountain Dew laced with lithium, sunflower seeds, and hooch.

Here's President Johnson visiting a poor family in Kentucky. Apparently this war on poverty is just creating more poverty. We need to cut off all assistance to those living in Kentucky.

23% of the population is single white mothers, with no father in the home. What's up with that?

No personal responsibility...they need to hunker down and get a job

Are you truly ignorant?

They CAN'T GET JOBS. Obama's energy policy has decimated the coal and timber industries that this entire region depended upon for more than a century.

And where do they move to? The economy sucks no matter where you look.

But you Obamabots continue to close your eyes.

Unemployment is way down. They just need to get off their asses and move.

Just how in the hell do they get the $$$ to move? And where to? YOUR home town?

Do you know how many of these losers smoke a pack a day? Have internet, smart phones, ripple on Fridays.

Please don't tell me someone in the ghetto can't make it out. I know its not going to be easy but it isn't like they have to move to another country where they don't speak the language like my father did. And his son, my brother, is a VP of a fortune 500 company.

So don't ask me how. Save, figure it out.

750,000 detroiters moved to metro detroit when Detroit went bankrupt and yes there are jobs out here.

We are worried we have too many low rent apartments and that crime has gone up but not too bad because our roads are heavily patrolled. And most of the crime stays in the low rent apartments. I don't mind blacks as long as they don't ruin my neighborhood like they did my parents.

I don't think that will happen again. As long as too many blacks don't come and too many whites leave we should be OK.

I looked it up;

Beattyville - There were 509 households out of which 30.1% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 31.8% were married couplesliving together, 23.0% had a female householder with no husband present.

That's less then 100 household with no husband present.. Math's a bitch for you guys, I know. Meanwhile in Detroit only about 10% of black kids, about 100,000 households have any idea who their babydaddies are.

Get a white or an Asian to explain the disparity for you.

Regardless, you lose!

Detroit has cold blooded killers living there. I know its a big city but murders happen every day There are no murders happening in our neighborhoods daily. Maybe every 10 years.

Anyway, I find it amazing its happening to them but they defend it!

Instead of not getting defensive and taking it as constructive criticism. Blacks refuse to take a hard look at themselves. Too easy to blame whites.

I agree with all their arguments too! They just don't agree with any criticism I give. It's just not their fault and it never will be. Which is bs.

Maybe we should address our own white on white crime. Just saying



Folks here are among the friendliest and most courteous around. And like many in Eastern Kentucky, they think they act a little more civilized than people in big cities.

They are right -- except when it comes to killing one another.

From 1980 to 1989, Leslie had a per-capita homicide rate higher than that of New York City, Chicago or Los Angeles.

A review by the Lexington Herald-Leader found that Leslie and nine neighboring Appalachian counties in southeastern Kentucky had higher homicide rates than many major U.S. cities.

* Wolfe and Perry had homicide rates of 24.2 and 21.6 for every 100,000 people, higher than Philadelphia, Boston or San Francisco.

* Clay, Breathitt and Owsley had rates ranging from 21.1 to 18.6 for every 100,000, higher than Seattle or Nashville.

* And Harlan, Estill, Knox and Lee had rates of at least 15 for every 100,000, twice the state average and greater than Columbus, Ohio; Phoenix or San Diego.

Leslie's homicide rate, 28 for every 100,000, was the highest in Kentucky. It was also more than three and four times that of the state's two most urban counties, Jefferson and Fayette.

The 10 Appalachian counties listed above were among the 14 highest in the state.

Like I said I very rarely disagree with a liberal point but I still think the poor black and whites do things to themselves too. Have kids they can't afford, make bad choices, don't take school or saving money seriously. I guess I shouldn't single out poor blacks but Detroit is a very violent place. Makes me think blacks got a bigger problem.

Any time you have poverty, you have a high crime rate, whether it be white or black.

Are you truly ignorant?

They CAN'T GET JOBS. Obama's energy policy has decimated the coal and timber industries that this entire region depended upon for more than a century.

And where do they move to? The economy sucks no matter where you look.

But you Obamabots continue to close your eyes.

Unemployment is way down. They just need to get off their asses and move.

Just how in the hell do they get the $$$ to move? And where to? YOUR home town?

Do you know how many of these losers smoke a pack a day? Have internet, smart phones, ripple on Fridays.

Please don't tell me someone in the ghetto can't make it out. I know its not going to be easy but it isn't like they have to move to another country where they don't speak the language like my father did. And his son, my brother, is a VP of a fortune 500 company.

So don't ask me how. Save, figure it out.

They don't live in the ghetto...they live in buttfuck Kentucky

Alaska is more violent, any musings on the state of whites as a whole?

From 1980 to 1989, Leslie had a per-capita homicide rate higher than that of New York City, Chicago or Los Angeles.

A review by the Lexington Herald-Leader found that Leslie and nine neighboring Appalachian counties in southeastern Kentucky had higher homicide rates than many major U.S. cities.

* Wolfe and Perry had homicide rates of 24.2 and 21.6 for every 100,000 people, higher than Philadelphia, Boston or San Francisco.

* Clay, Breathitt and Owsley had rates ranging from 21.1 to 18.6 for every 100,000, higher than Seattle or Nashville.

* And Harlan, Estill, Knox and Lee had rates of at least 15 for every 100,000, twice the state average and greater than Columbus, Ohio; Phoenix or San Diego.

Leslie's homicide rate, 28 for every 100,000, was the highest in Kentucky. It was also more than three and four times that of the state's two most urban counties, Jefferson and Fayette.

The 10 Appalachian counties listed above were among the 14 highest in the state.
