I see you got to page 13 of the 78 summary pages. The stat I assume you're referencing is for illicit drug use rates in those 12 and older.
To actually provide the info you alluded to, for
illicit drug use in the last year*, Black people had a higher
RATE**than white people by 1.2%. And Native American/Alaskan and multiracial folks' rates exceeded both.
*your source surveyed 2015-2019
**
please learn the difference between raw numbers and rates, and learn to understand what the rates are rates of.
Now, when you do more than look at the first-found info for attempts at gotchas and self-confirmation information, you find the following:
- 70.3% of white people 12 and older used alcohol in the last year, compared to 55.8% of Black people 12 and older (women lower in all populations).
- For meth, white people had a rate 3.33x higher than Black people (0.7% vs 0.2%). And Black women specifically tied for the lowest gender/race/ethnic group reported (0.1%).
- White people outstripped Black people in rx misuse (4.2% vs 3.6%), both outdone by multiracial, Native American/Alaskan, Native Hawaiiam/Pacific Islander, and Hispanic/Latino populations.
- White people out-used fent over every other group.
- Black men had more illicit drug use disorders than white men, and women of both races had much lower (and equal to one another) drug use disorders.
- More white people than Black people had an alcohol use disorder. Men more than women. Overall, white people tied with Hispanic/Latinos in 3rd after native american/Alaskan and multiracial populations. 5th was native hawaiian/Pacific islanders, and 6th were Black people.
- Despite the above about alcohol use disorders, the rates for seeking treatment among those who needed it were higher for Black people than white people.
- For substance use disorders overall, white people had a higher rate than Black people. Both Black men and Black women had lower rates than their white counterparts.
Christ. What was it you said? "cope, seethe and die"? Oh, yeah, that was it.
White cultures have prospered to the degree that we have kept the Scriptures
Those Scriptures written by Middle Easterners?
And who's going to church in America?:
https://www.pewresearch.org/religio...us-services/by/racial-and-ethnic-composition/
81% Black people attend services once a month or more, compared to 66% of white people. For once/week or more, it is 47% of Black people vs 34% white people. For "seldom or never," white people are at 33%, vs 17% of Black people.
In addition, Black people pray more and say religion is important in their lives more,
read scripture more and more literally, and believe in a heaven and a hell than any other racially/ethnically grouped people. And more Black people look to religion for right/wrong guidance than any other group.
Now, personally, I don't think church-going translates precisely to "good people," but if you're going to drag out some supposed indicator of "betterness," get your facts first so you can at least try to spin them rather than being just flat wrong.
All of which came to us from different cultures and times and skin tones. Its not white supremacy, it's receiving a multicultural, millennia-spanning heritage, and making good decisions based on it.
True. So why must things be articulated as a "white supremacy" point, and why dismiss (or downvote) every single data point that acknowledges, "OK we didn't do"the best" this year in that category"? I mean, as an inheritor of/claim-layer to the achievements of extraordinary Western civ notables who went before you, surely an acknowledgment of minor failures isn't painful?
