But tf, there must be a way out for multigenerational impoverished Americans. There must be a solution better than more of the same, because "more of the same" is not working. Blaming others and seeking deeper dependency is not a solution. Fatherless households is not a solution. Homicide rates at 400% of the national average (suffered in the vast majority at the hands of other Blacks) is not the solution. Locking impoverished communities into terrible schools is not the solution. Northerners' urban habits of gentrification are not the solution.
I'm not blaming "the man" for Black folks problems today, because there's no excuse some of the ills that plague many inner Black communities, but I felt compelled to explain why the Asian to Black comparison is an apples to oranges one.

Until we identify those, we have no ability as a society to redress them.
Where there is no excuse is in continuing counterproductive policies hurting the very people they were long ago intended to help. Carrying on the debate as if social attitudes and solutions are no different now than they were in 1964, serves no good purpose.

You wish it were an apples to oranges comparison !
IMHO, it's a comparison worthy of contrast and analysis. There differences and similarities. The similarities are not to be dismissed in any rational analysis.
