By the way, I was doing a regression analysis the other day and I found a .53 correlation between high violent crime and racial demographics. Yes, the initial analysis showed that the more black people in your city, the more crime.

Now is that causal? That takes more research on things like single parenthood, drop out rates, poverty, drug usage, and so many other independent variables to get a good answer. Not that Timmie would understand. Originally Posted by JD Barleycorn

The same as when I lived in New Orleans; watch my back, keep my eyes and ears open, walk around armed, and keep a riot gun in the trunk.
