I think it needs to be taken in context... - sm
[ In Reply To ..]According to an article in The Atlantic, "...the researchers recognize that Republicans might have statistically happier marriages because of who Republicans tend to be: white folks. “One reason Republicans have happier marriages is that, as a party with a larger share of white couples, they are less likely to face the discrimination, segregation, and poverty that minority couples often experience in America, all of which can compromise the quality of married life,” they write. While it’s useful to organize this kind research using one variable, like party affiliation, perhaps another way of writing this analysis might carry a different headline: White, Privileged People More Likely to Be Happy in Marriage."
Very interesting.

[ In Reply To ..]Any race, any gender, any persuasion...we all have the free will to make something of ourselves. Or not. Not buying your whining rant of white privilege. Time to find yet another excuse or wake up and hear the music.
What the heck are you talking about??? - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Who's on a "whining rant?" Good God, I posted a link to an article, quoted a sentence from said article to provide some context that Republicans are supposedly have happier marriages, and said "very interesting." How this turned into a "whining rant of white privilege" I'll never know. Get over yourself.

Which proves a point Breitbart News, Gun Owners of America, and other gun rights groups have made for years; namely, that backgro ...
