I'm with you on this. BLM is a bullshit movement and the claims they make of systemic racism are both over-inflated and the fault of their Democrat masters. But any fool can see there are issues in the justice system at every level that need to be reformed: police training, making sure bad apples get fired, prosecutorial misconduct, bad judges, a broken penal system. All of those issues transcend race but they hit the black community hardest—mostly for reasons that are the fault of a damaged culture celebrating thugs and encouraging broken families, but still.
Although I don't like this being done without a simultaneous show of force against the violent Antifa losers, I do think it's otherwise a politically wise move. More than that, Trump has proven time and again that he actually cares greatly about all Americans and does not take minorities for granted, so I think he's mostly doing this simply because it's the right thing to do.
School vouchers would ba a great way to improve things. Get black kids out of black neighborhood schools and mixed in with more white people so they can learn at a young age that white people aren't all racist and they have a chance at getting a good education.
All that does is turn them into "activists" instead of thugs since the Karens that teach at those white schools will worship the ground they walk on and they will still get told from every angle (music, tv, textbooks, social media) that they are being oppressed.
Also, the quality of education is fine in "black" schools. I attended school in majority black and majority white areas throughout my childhood/teen life and the material and quality of the teachers/teaching were no different. The schools just look bad because 90% of the student body doesn't give a fuck about school in the black neighborhoods.
The problem with that, even under more ideal circumstances, is that it makes the schools in black schools even worse as anyone who gives a shit about education has already left. Current laws means the "bad" school will get additional funding, which will all go to bureaucracy or some other vanity project (like, say, if some bleeding-heart thinks it's a good idea to get, say, MacBooks for students, it means most of those will end up in a sketchy pawn shop if not completely destroyed). If the school district pulls the plug on the school, then land values plummet and the neighborhood is worse off than before.
No thank you. I went to a school that did this. Ended up having to change schools because of being terrorized daily. When their parent at home only teaches them hate for your race, a bunch of people who look exactly as that parent described aren't going to change a thing. This starts at home and with parenting. It's no one elses responsibility.
If it truly takes a village, then let me discipline your kid.
Education and school vouchers are great but the removing the absence of fathers in Black communities is just as paramount (welfare/social reforms.) I always say if there is no competent male figure to open a can of whoop ass when needed then don't get upset when the police do it for you later. You might not like the results. I pray that POTUS enacts a task force to deal with this crucial issue.
I honestly don't think there is a way to reverse the absentee father issue. Sure, stats show that increased due to Social and Welfare programs, but the culture is now ingrained.
Most communities have leadership that strive to improve the standing of their community. With a few minor exceptions, it just does not exist in the black community.
If Dr. Martin Luther King was alive now, he would be ridiculed as an Uncle Tom
I disagree. Don't give up pede! I know that it seems ingrained but I have faith that POTUS and the good people that surround him can come up with a viable solution. Remember when Obama said it would take a magic wand to bring back jobs? And here we are. :)
Our school district is currently going through a redistricting plan. Funny thing is all schools are being broken up to "level out diversity and social economic status" 🙄 yet the one school off limits and fighting being broken up is the school where majority of black students are higher than at any other school.

Or better yet just shut down public schools.
