I love talking to dumbass white people in their late teens or twenties, that have spent little or no time at all around black people, yet think they've got it all figured out

2020-03-01 04:24:36 UTC  

I am Black

2020-03-01 04:24:42 UTC  

🤡

2020-03-01 04:27:09 UTC  

sure

2020-03-01 04:27:11 UTC  

lol

2020-03-01 04:27:52 UTC  

then why are you surprised that when black kids are raised by white families they have better scores?

2020-03-01 04:28:04 UTC  

that should come as absolutely no shock to you at all

2020-03-01 04:28:14 UTC  

I am NOT surprised

2020-03-01 04:28:17 UTC  

Who said I was surprised

2020-03-01 04:29:32 UTC  

why is it though?

2020-03-01 04:29:40 UTC  

because black people are kinda fucked?

2020-03-01 04:30:15 UTC  

many of them uneducated, raised by parents (or *parent* more likely) who were uneducated

2020-03-01 04:31:21 UTC  

Yes I agree

2020-03-01 04:31:23 UTC  

it's difficult to raise a boy to be a man when his own father doesn't even stick around

2020-03-01 04:31:30 UTC  

I totally agree

2020-03-01 04:31:51 UTC  

so when you say "level the playing field", what do you mean

2020-03-01 04:34:04 UTC  

Exactly what you said

2020-03-01 04:34:13 UTC  

Give them a proper education

2020-03-01 04:34:19 UTC  

Lift them out of poverty

2020-03-01 04:34:26 UTC  

And let’s see their scores

2020-03-01 04:34:56 UTC  

what's holding them back from lifting themselves out of poverty?

2020-03-01 04:35:03 UTC  

are they incapable of doing for themselves?

2020-03-01 04:35:26 UTC  

I work with a black guy who received the same education I did, except he got it for free

2020-03-01 04:35:29 UTC  

because he's black

2020-03-01 04:35:34 UTC  

wow, so rough

2020-03-01 04:35:47 UTC  

Some are in it more deep than others

2020-03-01 04:35:51 UTC  

It’s not that simple

2020-03-01 04:35:54 UTC  

They are getting better

2020-03-01 04:36:00 UTC  

It’s just at a slow rate

2020-03-01 04:36:07 UTC  

We CAN make it faster

2020-03-01 04:36:26 UTC  

Baltimore looks like a war zone

2020-03-01 04:36:33 UTC  

Flint still doesn’t have water

2020-03-01 04:54:45 UTC  

Flint doesn't have water because Flint's local government is corrupt as fuck

2020-03-01 04:55:28 UTC  

Ok

2020-03-01 04:55:37 UTC  

Thanks for proving my point

2020-03-01 04:56:18 UTC  

what was your point

2020-03-01 04:57:44 UTC  

Flint doesn’t have water

2020-03-01 05:13:47 UTC  

is that white people's fault or something, I'm confused

2020-03-01 05:15:31 UTC  

I'm pretty sure the Mayor of Flint at the time was a black lady

2020-03-01 05:16:06 UTC  

If you can't even trust your own people, shit, who can you trust

2020-03-01 05:16:31 UTC  

maybe black people should stop waiting around for government to fix all their problems for them
