Unless you're so insecure about your self identity that you base it solely upon what some old guys did ages ago

2018-08-27 03:57:01 UTC  

so all of these practices that happened a long time ago

2018-08-27 03:57:10 UTC  

still effect black people

2018-08-27 03:57:13 UTC  

"a long time" =/= less than 50 years

2018-08-27 03:57:20 UTC  

yes, that's a long time

2018-08-27 03:57:21 UTC  

Tradition is not the worship of ashes

2018-08-27 03:57:25 UTC  

and again

2018-08-27 03:57:28 UTC  

you're presuming

2018-08-27 03:57:30 UTC  

I'm not

2018-08-27 03:57:31 UTC  

that de facto discrimination

2018-08-27 03:57:33 UTC  

still isn't a thing

2018-08-27 03:57:44 UTC  

African American schools tend to receive less funding, for instance

2018-08-27 03:58:01 UTC  

@Alice Redacted Funding is based on preformance

2018-08-27 03:58:06 UTC  

and efforts to desegregate schools were met with fierce resistance

2018-08-27 03:58:06 UTC  

ah

2018-08-27 03:58:06 UTC  

That's why

2018-08-27 03:58:09 UTC  

how much do they try in school

2018-08-27 03:58:10 UTC  

so it's a cycle, you're saying?

2018-08-27 03:58:16 UTC  

I'll answer for you

2018-08-27 03:58:18 UTC  

they don't try

2018-08-27 03:58:24 UTC  

less funding -> poor performance -> less funding -> poor performance

2018-08-27 03:58:30 UTC  

yep, because that just want to remain in poverty

2018-08-27 03:58:31 UTC  

makes sense

2018-08-27 03:58:41 UTC  

y'know, sure, some people might have multiple jobs

2018-08-27 03:58:42 UTC  

most schools teach the core classes you need

2018-08-27 03:58:46 UTC  

and might be doing the best they can

2018-08-27 03:58:48 UTC  

but, y'know

2018-08-27 03:58:51 UTC  

not trying hard enough

2018-08-27 03:58:54 UTC  

most schools teach the core classes you need

2018-08-27 03:59:07 UTC  

they aren't doing the best they can

2018-08-27 03:59:22 UTC  

I see you haven't talked about crime

2018-08-27 03:59:24 UTC  

but I already know

2018-08-27 03:59:27 UTC  

what you're gonna say

2018-08-27 03:59:28 UTC  

@Alice Redacted thats not how that works

2018-08-27 03:59:32 UTC  

yes

2018-08-27 03:59:32 UTC  

''muh poverty''

2018-08-27 03:59:33 UTC  

yes it is.

2018-08-27 03:59:38 UTC  

also

2018-08-27 03:59:41 UTC  

we are, indirectly

2018-08-27 03:59:43 UTC  

talking about crime

2018-08-27 03:59:48 UTC  

crime is a symptom of poverty
