Until that cycle is addressed and not glossed over, not much will change.

Deflect all you wish but I said generally. There are some black people that value education and use that to escape the cycle of poverty. But not nearly enough, and they are not anywhere near the majority.
Too many blacks rely on victim hood, prioritize destructive behaviors, and are waiting on someone to hand them an easy lifestyle. It's not going to happen. As with any family that has had some form of success someone, somewhere, sometime had to strap it up and bust their arse to elevate out of cycles of failure. Excuses don't pay the mortgage.

I remember this white man who gave me candy in my grandparents neighborhood call my uncle a dirty thieving n word when he thought my uncle stole his lawn mower when all actuality his son in law stole it and pawned it. He later apologized and I didn't go out and join the black panthers. Funny how you let your personal experience shape your view of an entire race.

I know which is funny because I went to a very poor, rural school and yet, the school did well to average on scores despite the majority low socioeconomic standing of most of its students
it was also 99% white
you can take what you want from that

Well shite man just be honest!
Black people have got to STOP pointing the finger, but they wont because it is an easy cop out.
Want more funding for schools - doesn't make kids go to or care about school
black lives matter - blacks kill more blacks than any other race
"frick the police" - calls police as soon as they have an emergency
These are just a few examples of what I mean by be honest. As the old saying goes "help me, help you"

Black parents don't care about educating their children and would rather blame everyone else except themselves

Because our government incentivizes this kind of irresponsible behavior. It's much easier than using birth control or waiting until you are in a position to support a family.

Birmingham City Schools ran off a former teacher of the year. There are bigger problems in some Alabama schools that have nothing to do with race. Schools have resegregated in more regions besides the South.

it's not a racial thing
it's a cultural issue + government subsidy and incentives

Is that right? Let see it is a generational system that have blacks in the shape they are in today it is not by happenstance.
Started as slaves worked relied on master for food and shelter.
Then went on to sharecropping relied on rich white man to rent property at high rate and get a large percentage of profit.
Segregation relied on nice white man for job. Only could live in certain areas. How can you chase the American Dream when you have to have permission from the white man?
Today, post jim crowe, have a chance to accumualate wealth or chase the american dream.
You have a race who has been here since this country's infancy, but just now around the 1970s they were allowed to make a place for themselves in a country that has let every other race make their mark here first. You expect blacks to prosper as a whole when they are just now experiencing freedom?

Meanwhile, a small percentage of whites and an even smaller percentage of blacks have to work like hell to keep footing the bill for an ever-increasing leisure class/underclass who is happy where they are. Or at least not unhappy enough to do anything but bitch about how unfair they have it.

the problem is when you make statements like this
latinos and asians didn't exactly have it easy until the mid-20th century as well (and frick, we interned the japanese in the 40s)
even some white groups were really discriminated against to the point of de facto slavery (like the irish, who were given worse jobs than slaves b/c their lives were less valuable. think of that)
