Since we pulled out that troupe every positive measurable matrix for the black family has only gotten worse I truly believe you are only wanting to help society, but there is a real justifiable argument that blaming racism only makes things worse not better.
As with anything, follow the money.
Who wants poor inner city children to stay in their awful schools? Who has benefitted from the entire industry that has grown up around race? Who benefits from the status quo and the ever increasing tension between all races? Tough questions with even tougher answers. What did Barack Obama do for inner city children besides lip service. Last time I checked his kids went to private schools in Chicago and DC. Is your kid going to Sidwell Friends? Why would he fight against good schools for your children while his go to the best? Paul Tudor Jones has done more for inner city kids than Obama, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton combined but he is just a rich white guy so onward we go blaming the rich white guy for holding down the poor minority and the cycle continues.
PTJ started the Robin Hood foundation. Look into what they have done. Real help not just lip service.
