It’s the thugs they should be protesting.
The little bands of goons who terrorize teachers and rob businesses blind.
They claim a lack of "educational and job opportunities", yet they put themselves behind that 8-ball by cutting classes and disrupting the ones they did attend. I cannot believe that Chicago minority students are any different from NYC minority students. In NYC, 99% of the time, the first students to act out in a class are minority. That is a fact, not bigotry. Other students come to class to learn, the minority kids mostly come to disrupt the class to amuse themselves. Of course, there are some minority students who earnestly want to learn, and my heart always went out to those kids. They were being handicapped by their brethren who were more interested in getting something for nothing. So, the minority troublemakers robbed themselves and others of a decent education, which naturally led to a lack of job opportunities. You can't expect to get much of a job as a high school dropout in most cases.
So I am utterly unimpressed with those complaints and subsequent marches claiming a lack of educational and job opportunities. You did it to yourselves. It's way past time for you to accept that responsibility.
