That is not to say that black families aren’t disadvantaged. They are. In our inner cities, all too often their children go to the worst schools, they live in the worst housing, and they are subjected to the worst environmental harms.

Conventional wisdom and a cliche.

'Disadvantaged' implies that someone, somewhere is handing out the advantages. It's a Marxist concept.

The reality is that US blacks have it better in the US than in any nation on earth, including any in Africa where they are decidedly in the majority and so-called racism is a nonissue (for them).

It is more accurate to say that US blacks continue to commit self-sabotage on a grand scale where a government eager for breeding stock for votes is eager to provide a perverse form of 'help.'

Two dozen major cities are no-go war zones. If we're looking for 'disadvantage' how about the people who have had to effectively abandon those cities after many years of work and paying eye-watering taxes? How about the people forced to move, then move again, then move again, ending up miles away from their place of work or their old neighborhoods simply to find a relatively safe place to live and raise a family?

Of course, even those plans can become undone thanks Section 8 housing bringing drugs, crime, and feral children (lots of them thanks to an apparent lack of birth control) to a suburb and school near you.

True. Unspoken truth. Unwelcomed truth. Political suicide truth.

Bingo. Same with the word redistribute (as in wealth). Like some vicious deity "distributes" wealth unjustly.

Government should provide subsidies for 2 parent, stable families.
