"Systemic racism" is supposed to be the 'black people have shitty schools so they grow up to be shitty people who have shitty jobs and there's shitty tax income which makes shitty schools...'
Except this stupid circle is like this everywhere that is poor. Doesn't matter your race. A significant number of black people have just been taught that it's all the fault of the white man, and not because breaking this cycle starts by raising your fucking kids right, which means being a father.
The term "failing schools" is a complete misnomer. I know first hand, I taught in a "failing school" district fir 25 years. These schools lack for NOTHING. Sharp, motivated staff; free breakfast and lunch; plenty of books and supplies; laptops for every child; the latest model jumbotron in every classroom; free musical instruments; sports and after school programs; counselors and mentors . . . and on and on. What these schools lack is a preponderance of kids looking to strive and succeed. They need horses that want the drink. End of story.

Or a preponderance of parents who give a ding dong about their kids.
Preponderance. There’s a 50 cent word!
Public school, baby!
Don't you know?
In the mantra, there is racism of color and racism of class. So even the poorest white kids still have privilege. See how that works?
