Naturally, Bill OReilly once again slanders black folks and spreads ignorance. Must be a day ending in the letter y. His assumption that the problem with black people is that they are having babies at 14 is so statistically illiterate as to render me almost speechless. Luckily, one neednt speak to actually look up the data to debunk this widely believed bullshit. So heres the deal: according to the National Vital Statistics Reports, published by the CDC/National Center for Health Statistics, in 2012 (the latest year for which data were available), there were exactly 1,263 children born to black girls between the ages of 10 and 14, in the entire U.S. Thats it. Not multiple thousands, not a national epidemic, and not a cultural norm. That is less than 1 such birth for every 1000 black girls that age. Meaning that 999 of 1000 black girls between 10 and 14 will NOT have a baby in a given year. By the way, this birth rate for young black girls is actually DOWN by more than 80 percent since 1990 (at which point there were 5 births per 1000 such black girls). By OReillys logic, he should be applauding the black community for their increasingly responsible child birth patterns. But of course, he wont. Because he is a racist asshat. Link to the data is below...Table 3, on page 17. It took me 5 minutes to find this. Thats how long it takes to debunk this clown. cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr63/nvsr63_04.pdf
