Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Our system doesn't produce enough choices politically today is a huge cause behind the problems less choices have made us all ok with picking between shite and slightly more pandery shite. With no option to vote for a good candidate.
It also doesn't help Americans in general don't give a shite about smaller elections like reps and congressmen that could actually change things up and create those options.

Which party is telling you ad nauseum that you, as a black man, cannot be successful on your own, without the help of your white benefactors? That should answer your question, but if it doesn't, try telling a white democrat that you're not going to vote as you're told, and see how that goes for you.

Ok I kinda agree on the first point but help me out here. Down here our public schools get tons of government funding so while I don’t know the particulars for everywhere I’d imagine it’s the same with corrupt people within the system ripping the schools off and skimming millions. The moneys there but when the system is all run by one team you’re gonna get what we get now, the cycle you’re talking about. School choice is big but it’s not gonna be enough, the public system must be reformed top to bottom and subject to strict oversight.

Do you happen to watch Big Brother on CBS? It’s a perfect example of what it’s come to. 3 black contestants this year. They immediately set out to make the entire game a black vs white issue. No one else did. They did. Teamed up together, made comments about being targeted any time a negative thing happened to them in the game. They were picked for various things because they were black. They weren’t picked because they were black. Ad nauseum. White guilted one guy to the point he wanted to self-evict because of his “contribution to the problem” . It’s a GAME , where the goal is to be the last person standing. Alliances are formed. But the all white alliance was scorned for being racist. However, the 2 black girls formed the very first alliance and called it “black magic”.
The eviction speech by one included the statement that she was there for Brianna Taylor. WTF?!
IT IS A GAME where every single person is given the exact same opportunity to compete for the exact same powers and rewards. Yet they turned it into black vs white. No one else did. Then had a screaming fight because they were picked for eviction. ‘Because they were black’. No, it was because they acted like whiny little bitches with chips on their shoulders who isolated themselves from everyone in the house, looking for any little slight. Said their ‘black girl magic” would go on forever.
Instead of getting in the game, actually earning their place on their merit, they wanted things given to them simply on the basis of their skin color. It just struck me that this is exactly how things do not change. The change has to come from both sides. IMO the “side’ that is stuck in the past are black people. It’s very frustrating when you are someone (me) that actually does not see skin color until you are constantly reminded of it by the very people who don’t want you to see skin color.

It's not the case in Alabama. Yes, the wealthiest district (by a long shot) has voted for high school taxes and spends the most per student in the state.
But after that, most of the rest of the top 20 spending systems are black. Federal and state dollars make up the bulk of school spending here. Even in systems that have voted for higher school taxes, they generally don't offset the extra federal and state dollars targeted for "at risk" schools. And the results don't justify the extra money, either. Poorly performing Birmingham city schools spend more per student than neighboring Trussville city schools, which is a top 5 system in the state.

Not true, look at Baltimore or Mississippi School districts that are predominantly black with Black Administrators. They get more funding per student, at an absurd level, yet consistently produce horrible results. I would suggest the Black Wisdom Matters series on Liberty Pen. They break it all down by some of my favorite academic scholars.

You're right, but people here won't accept it.
They think acknowledging something as obvious as racism is some kind of indictment on their spray painted savior.
It is the exact same shite they did with Covid-19. They downplayed it because they were afraid that saying "Yeah this is bad" would make him look bad.
The funny part is that if Donald (and his minions) would address these issues - then it would help his chances of getting re-elected.
But they are too fricking dumb to realize that

I agree, racism is real, and I experienced it growing up as a white boy everyday on a school bus in south Louisiana. I was the minority for about 30 minutes before and after school. I was roughed up, called names like “cracker,” spit on, and demeaned for being white on a daily basis. I remember times when I thought it would just be easier to be black some days.
It toughened me, made me stronger, and I have persevered in life in spite of what I experienced as a kid. You never forget it though, and you teach your kids right from wrong based on your own experiences.
People of ALL races experience racism when ignorance prevails unfortunately. If you experience racism, use it as motivation; don’t let it bring you down. Pray to God about the situation, and remove yourself from it if possible.

When looking for political advice, the best place for a sitting president to look is to a flaming leftist that has created an online persona for attention.
What you’re saying is a classic liberal tactic. If only this person I fundamentally disagree with acted like I the leftist wants them to, they would so get elected.
But you’re too fricking self absorbed to realize how transparent you are.

Ok then yes, I disagree
Being raised by parents of another race would literally be nurture. Being conditioned from
Birth that other colored people are good and take care of you would override any natural instinct.

the federal government spends nearly 10 times as much on inner city and predominately black schools/ The money is just flushed down the toilet by corrupt politicians, administrators, and union officials. And nearly all of those areas have had Democrat leadership since before the civil rights movement. And most have been run by entirely black democrats.

There were nearly 40 candidates this year for the Dem nomination. How the hell does Biden and Harris end up heading the ticket other than Dems choosing them. The poor choices are because stupid people run off anyone with half a brain for some slimy piece of crap who promises them the most free shite.

Saying "racism is bad" isn't a liberal tactic - it's just not being a piece of shite person.
But hey, I understand your inability to see that. You - like so many other minions - have little to no control over your thoughts.
That's just what happens when you let a few people from Fox drill their opinions into your head every night
