Self-victimization doesn’t make you rich.
It just makes you angry at everyone else that you’re not.
Add to that the two career choices as enumerated by pop culture for blacks: rapper or athlete.
My next door neighbors on both sides are black. I often told my sons to watch those young men next door, that they were going to become quite successful. Their father works hard, his sons have good work ethics, are polite and present themselves well.
Both of my neighbor’s sons have now graduating from highly respected universities with professional degrees. Even though their father isn’t well off financially, they are already well on their ways to success.
I was going to say something like that. There is the "achievement gap" that starts in elementary school. First, the teachers are mostly white, and they are subject to being called racist if they try to maintain order in the classroom. From the point at which teachers cannot compel behavior, education suffers. White kids usually don't accuse their teachers of being racist, so they end up more likely to have high school diplomas and basic literacy skills. It may be the fault of the schools for being scared of being called racist, but there are really only a few things that are considered evil by liberals, and they include racism and hypocrisy. Since most teachers are liberal, it would stand to reason that they wouldn't want to be labeled as racist amongst their immediate peers.
