Yeah, unfortunately this goes right along with a conversation I had with a local principal last week. He was concerned that the athletic club was not being "equitable" in their expenditures...
I explained to him that teams raise money, the athletic club holds that money until the team needs to spend it, then the team buys what they need or want...
Yeah but "the fund raising is not equitable"... Well, each team is responsible for their own fundraising and putting them together...
"No, teams raise money through the concessions stand"... Uh, no, the athletic club pays teams to work concessions during all the games...
"Yeah but you don't let the basketball team work concessions"... Sure we offer them the opportunity, however, the parents have always turned us down for football games and basketball games... Softball and Baseball parents have to work concessions during their kids' games because basketball parents will not work the stands even though they do not have a kid playing...
"That is not what I have been told"... Well, would you like to see documentation that I keep in my notebook on when I talked to the basketball parents and coaches this year?
It all boils down to the basketball team asked the athletic club to fund a scoring table and sideline chairs to the tune of $18,000, while not having raised a dime over the past 5 years...

They need to do a study on how involved parents are in their child's education. If the parent never answers emails, phone calls, or attends school meetings with their kid's teachers, then they have no room to gripe. If they don't care about the schoolwork until the report card comes they are missing the bar.

The chart is racist. To imply anything negative about single family households is racist.

When I pointed out that blacks actually have a lower high school dropout rate than the national average and that assuming blacks had a higher rate was bad research at best, most likely a negative stereotype, and potentially racist the D&I "instructor" would not address the error and said "not everyone is an ally...yet"
I hate academics that are so wrapped up in their own imposter syndrome that any questioning of their assumptions or results is considered an attack on them personally instead of just a discussion of scientific inquiry. I always wonder how the hell they got through group meetings, let alone an actual dissertation defense

There's so much chicken and egg BS in the national race debate. The lack of a second parent does more to create the income gap than any perceived discrimination, but thats not what we are told to believe.
Im familiar with a large, engineering heavy MNC that is currently in a fit right now because of lack of diversity. They have no issues hiring and retaining Indian and Asian talent, but thats not good enough in America. They drive themselves nuts trying to find black and hispanic engineers and blame themselves for not "getting it done", but whose fault is it that there are almost ZERO black and hispanic engineers in the labor pool?

I feel like this is taboo when racial inequity is brought up but shouldn't easily proven facts like this be the starting point of any such discussion? Thoughts?
Systematic racism is a hoax and anyone who spews the bullshite needs to be shut down quickly.
Everyone knows what the problem is and most people lack the balls to say it.
This graph clearly shows what the problem is.

You don’t think that there are major impacts still carrying over from the fact that racism was literally legal in this country until 57 years ago?

And I firmly believe that the biggest influence a father has on a male child is not advice nor counseling. We observe how our dad behaves every day. That's how we learn to be a man.

Hey dumbass, how is not having a man in the house systematic racism?

i think few would deny that racism still has lasting effects, it of course does.
but i think if we took the average person of poverty in any color, we would recognize coming from a single parent home as more prevalent an issue than their race.

Why don't black people have a man in the house as often? Is it just a natural thing? If you believe that Black people and white people are equal, then how do we account for the huge gap in single parent household? It's pretty obvious something else is affecting it, we just need to figure out what

Social programs that benefit single mothers with multiple children, get rich quick culture over stability and slow sustainable growth, teaching kids that they are entirely cosmic accidents as opposed to a person who is loved by a creator who has a destiny for them...

Culture....duh.
ETA Let me be a little more specific: Criminality viewed as normal, education...who needs it right?, 8 different kids by 7 different baby mamma's...like it's a badge of fricking honor, pay for them? that's what welfare is for right?, etc...
I know it's not what everyone does but damn it a lot do...don't ignore it and blame it on racism.

Now do 1964 - prior to the Civil Rights Act.

I completely agree with Candace Owens. The biggest threat to the black community is fatherless households.

How about growing up thinking being in a "posse" is more important than being in a marriage?
Systematic racism is the left's conspiracy theory.
