There are some things we aren’t supposed to talk about, which have contributed to the sad state of many black families.
A key issue, is that the vast majority of black babies are born out of wedlock. In 1960, the vast majority of black babies were born to married couples.
Another issue is education. I read an article recently about Dunbar High School in Washington DC, which was an all black school in the days of legal segregation. The student achievement of the students at Dunbar in those days exceeded some white schools. Nowadays Dunbar is a sad inner city school, with poor student achievement, but at one time, it gave black students a find education.
I saw an older black man on TV a few years ago, who said he got a better education in the Jim Crow South, than kids in today’s inner city schools are getting.
The state of schools in so many cities is especially galling, because in many places, black people are in charge of the schools. There are black mayors, black school superintendents, black school board members, black teachers, black principals, overseeing schools with big black student bodies. There’s no way you can blame racism for their problems when black people are overseeing those schools. Yet those problems persist, for whatever reasons.
There is one person to thank for beginning this end to America and that is one Lyndon B Johnson. I hope that they buried the SOB facedown!
Biden is beholden to the teachers’ unions. He will do his best to see that poor black children have no alternative to a failing public school.
