Late here, wish I was earlier, my 2 cents.
I agree with the guys who are saying it's a class war. A class war disguised as a race war due to a combination of a loud minority and media coverage. This is not disregarding that racial tension is high right now. Mainly between white nationalists and minority far leaning left SJWs.
Someone said it best stating that this war is between the haves and have nots. Economics play a larger role here than people here are giving credit. Schools in black communities aren't teaching the same as "white" schools, yes. This is because they don't have access to the same funds. I'll break it down.
Minorities tend to live in inner cities because it's cheaper, a lot cheaper. Urban schools are placed in the inner city for convenience and don't typically have much funding, as these areas are low income and don't get much support outside of the government who strives for bare minimum. They are also less appealing to top notch teachers who would prefer to work in more affluent schools as the pay is higher and the area is better.
"Whites" which is code name for the affluent, who happen to be white, usually live on the outskirts of the city. Not so much
suburbs anymore, as people are moving back into cities but the outskirts. Things here are usually more expensive than its inner city counterparts as well as the better off families being able to afford things such as tutors, sports program participation, private schools, etc. Thus translating into seemingly "better off kids" or that horrific buzzword, privledged.
Blacks getting worse schooling has nothing to do with the "white man holding them down," but simply with how much money is available to thrown around. Example of this is the token minority kids in affluent schools whose parents said, "Fūck this, we can afford it and we're sending our children to better schools." So okay, sure. I guess you can say blacks/Minorities have it worse but I have three questions:
Whose fault is it this that minorities can't afford better schooling?
How can this be solved?
Do you really think better schooling would solve these issues? If they started placing really expensive, top notch private schools in the hood, you really think that these areas would improve? I'm asking from experience, I grew in the hood.
These issues aren't black and white and finding a solution is tough, affirmative action and the like were policies in search of a solution but they aren't the answer.
Societal issues such as the growing absence of fathers in households, especially in the black community, play a role as well. There is much more discussion to be had that doesn't involve the shade someone's skin. The more time arguing over these arbitrary issues, the less time we have for serious discussion of the real ones. Food for thought.
