    Yea I agree designbot, but well, here it is by the numbers

    http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/p…

    7.8% of non hispanic whites are below the poverty line

    vs

    24% of blacks are below the poverty line

    I mean, damn, 1 in 4. By the way, "below the poverty line" in general means you make < 10k/ year. That works out in hourly pay to the equivalent of $5/ hour. Now obviously that's below minimum wage, but there's a degree of unemployment factored in.

    Now think about the guy with the "Support black businesses" bumper sticker and ask yourself how bad is that really.
