Ahhhhh, don't play stupid, Dickey...

You understand the argumenbt very well... Through out the South there are thousands of miles of back roads where some very poor, mostly black people live on pieces of farms that were given or purchased thru various tennant arrangements to these folks forbearers... I mean, I have spent a lot of time in Mississippi and there are countless thousands of people who fitr this criteria, especially in the Delta...

So for you to suggest, because of faulty stats, that home ownership is a presnt day option for poor people is not only short-sighted but, yeah, ludicris....

This is the stats game that you like to play when it fits your particular value system...

And finding the lone exceptions to the rule is not proof positive of you position either...

Bottom line, poor people can't cureently buy homes and it's been that way for a long. long time...

...but that keep a lot of slum lords fat and happy...
