Come down to Portland and tour the Rockwood neighborhood or the south side of Chicago and tell me how we’re close.

Speaking of inflaming the situation, why do MAGAts/yahoos want to increase the distance by gutting public education?

Are those Democrat areas you speak of?

Gutting public education? Not familiar with what you are saying.
Looks like you want to flippantly pass the buck rather than really discuss the issues.

Its wrong to try to make up for past racism by having more racism in response.
I agree but it’s also wrong to not try and provide additional opportunities to improve their lot for people whose lives are crap because they were oppressed for 200+ years.

Pointing out who has been running the affected areas is placing the blame squarely on those most responsible. The buck stops with local leadership.

Not by doing reverse racism, which is what affirmative action is.

And most of their ancestors weren’t here 200+ years before Jim Crow ended. And many came to the US after slavery or after Jim Crow, and have been coming every year since.
Proud deplorable Ultra MAGA fascist NAZI trash clinging to my guns and religion (and whatever else I’ve been labeled by Obama/Clinton/Biden/Harris).

Discrimination in education, jobs, housing, etc. continued into my lifetime and had a significant impact on the ability of blacks to get a good education, jobs build generational wealth and set their children up for success. A larger percentage of blacks are starting their lives at a disadvantage because of past discrimination. Arguing that there is no significant discrimination now so we’re all good is a cop out.

To use a baseball analogy, more whites start on first base or better while more blacks are stepping up to the plate down 0-2 in the count.

If you think all of the blame lies with local government then you are ignorant of history and sociology. Read The Color of Law by Rothstein to start building an understanding of the actual situation.

If you don’t think DeVos and others want to gut public education then you’re either dense or overly dependent on partisan echo chambers for information.

That’s a cop out. Past discrimination has done far more to create ghettos where crime is high and hope is low than current leadership.

My education in the social sciences and experience in education is equal to if not greater than yours in health care so I’m not just pulling shit out of my ass or from some partisan echo chamber with an agenda.

Read The Color of Law and tell me how Rothstein was wrong/inaccurate.

The blacks applying to colleges today were born around 40 years after Jim Crow ended.

And as the left likes to call the ‘white adjacent’ Asians aren’t starting ahead, and affirmative action in education is discriminating against them.

Affirmative action is a relic that belonged, and should have been left in, the 20th century,

Well, as the left likes to call the ‘white adjacent’ Asians aren’t starting ahead, and affirmative action in education is discriminating against them.
I don’t think affirmative action is the answer just like I don’t think having nothing and pretending everything is hunky dory is the answer.

No cop out at all. The local government controls the largest piece of fixing a ghetto, as they control the flow of money.

I think you're talking cause and I'm talking fixing.

It sure was nice of the Grand Ole Party to celebrate Liberia's independence ...

I hope they've figured out that they gained independence from the ole USA (the the American Colonization Society if you want to BDKnitpicky) on July 26, 1847.
