re: Dennis Prager on why poverty does NOT cause crime

As I've said on here before, it has to go like this if it's going to work: 

American society must admit to and actually acknowledge its history of race terrorism. Honestly. That means when someone says "Jim Crow", you don't get a kneejerk "yeah, but Irish need not apply" in response. It means simply admitting the plain facts that blacks were terrorized, brutalized, ghettoized and impeded socially and economically for many many decades. 

Next, American society must admit that the literal centuries of this sort of treatment brings with it - BY DEFINITION - lasting social impact which manifests itself decades later. This means acknowledging such things as the multi-generational wealth gap which was intentionally created and from which modern blacks now suffer from.

Good God man, I don't even know how to respond to this. Firstly, who is "American society"? What do you define that as? Do you want to hear it from the POTUS? See it in textbooks? See it on billboards? Have planes with banners flying around proclaiming it?

At what point would you be satisfied?
