&gt; Education could play in to it but if you know anything about inner city schools you know culture has a lot to do with receptiveness to education, as much or moreso than funding.

I wish more people understood this.

I live in a 65-70% black city. The schools are in the toilet. Literally the best one is 2/10, rest are 1/10 rated. For years they said it was about funding, new buildings, etc. So they built all the new buildings, jacked up the sales tax to 10%, got all the funding they asked for.

The most recent graduating class of one of the major local high schools yielded a 14% expected proficiency in math for the entire senior class.

My wife and I put our actions where our mouth is for a few years. Volunteered in the schools, taught ancillary classes, and did tutoring. The shit we saw was terrible. Lots of precious kids with no familial support and a culture that is, without exaggeration, poisonous to education and personal development.

No amount of blaming white people will escape that hell. There needs to be a schism in black culture - people who align with American conservatism and those that want to continue in the welfare mindset.

Its really wack. The top public magnet school in my current city has a 50% reading and math proficiency rating.

Like, for real, FIFTY PERCENT IN A CHARTER SCHOOL. Like, wtf?
