Biggest problem: Inner-city education. Minorities not getting opportunities.
It’s ALWAYS inner city education and Minorities not getting opportunities.
This nation could give every black in this nation a million dollars, a 100,000 dollar a year government job and the finest schools ever imagined:
1) Detroit would still be Somalia
2) Black crime rate would still be high
3) teen black pregnancy would still skyrocket
4) Black schools scores would continue to fall
5) Blacks would still blame whites for not getting free HBO with their free cable.
This author is nuts...
I’m so tired of libs making excuses for blacks. They’ve been given more than enough opportunities to improve their situation in life. Time for them to shut up and look in the mirror.
I grew up and attended school in a NE city, one that's since become a "chocolate city". My (Catholic) HS's physical plant was so bad that the school eventually lost its accreditation. But in terms of academic performance, students did several orders of magnitude better than the public school students. Minorities get the nice new schools and get the opportunities, the difference is that they don't do an awful lot with them. This is a kind of a poverty that money can't fix.
Yes, and a Wall Street limo liberal, but then, the two terms are interchangeable.
