Indeed!
This is a typical “liberal” failing, equating appearance with substance. Sadly, those so afflicted also do not seem to comprehend cause and effect.
Their failure, rage, and riot should be comprehended but never condoned.
It is part of the problem with affirmative action and the larger failure to have an honest discussion about race; when I see masses of the permanent underclass rioting, then I get the impression that they already understand that discussion (that they have no role working in a modern economy). The problem is that others who have been simply handed papers that we would be expected to earn then think they are “qualified” for anything (and the Great Depression II has been difficult for everyone - they are now competing with more qualified, experienced people falling down the economic ladder). The most distressing thing in my own experience (with my children) is watching grades become watered down for everyone; rather than expecting urban minorities to perform, the public education establishment is simply declaring everyone an “A” student.
