And I meant to say that if a ven diagram was drawn on a piece of paper there would be a large overlap between poverty and race. And black or poor or both, you'd have a dead baby.

This was a topic that's been explored through economic research and many people found that work to be disgusting as well.

Ven Diagram statement: agreed
Abortion to reduce crime is bad: agreed

However, American Blacks are not the source of U.S. crime. Poverty, more than anything, is the predicter of crime. This is what I think Bennett did not understand. Clearly, I agree that right now American Blacks are poorer, but it is not the race of the poor that predicts their crime it is their status as poor. The two are mutually exclusive- if they weren't rich American Blacks would be just as likely to commit crime as their poorer counterparts and that simply is not true.

I am disgusted that he sees a 1:1 ratio between being an AfAm and future likelihood of crime. That simply is not true, but because he is conditioned to believe that all AfAms are criminals he thinks it is.
