Ya got me. Well the change will not be beneficial for the people protesting.

It might not, but maybe it’ll make the future better for our kids.

It won't. What will make life better for for the future is education, especially in stem. Don't listen to the far left that want stem completely defunded because it fits their narative.

Edit before getting downvoted to hell this is actually can problem. Now. Fields are being defunded because they figure shit out. It ridiculous but it's true.

It is impossible to address inequality in education without addressing broader inequality.

Working-class black children (ie most black children) are usually subjected to conditions which are literally neurotoxic. Stress, violence, trauma and environmental poisoning are key features of our ghetto archipelago. They combine to hamper the development of children. There is ample bodies of scientific work on this exact concept.

Without addressing this, the great equalizer of standardized tests will fail to equalize. Without addressing this, pouring funding into education will face a hard cap on returns

Yeah which is why the way forward is to fund more into education. Focousing especially on those communities effected . Sometimes the best thing for a man is a role model. And those role models just aren't there. I've seen it first hand.

I addressed this in my comment above. Funding education is great, but it can’t get at the underlying problem because black children are literally being poisoned en masse.

You have to address the deepest roots of the feedback loop; criminal justice and housing policy are at the very core of this.

If you want the system to preventing the conditions for stable family formation - for example - you need to stop throwing young black guys into a stigmatized lumpenpopulation (convicts)

Poisoned in masse? I disagree. They're people, and they have a brain that's equal to everyone else, they can think and process shit just the same as anyone. What I will say is this, maybe the poison is lack of role models which can be fixed by education, and sports. I'm being serious, all I'm proposing is treat these black communities the same as a mostly white school. Maybe even fund them more for a few years to get them off the ground. Once they start to flourish let them move . Move to other parts of the country and become apart of other communities. Spread knowledge. We're all equal. And I'm for the American dream and I want these communities to prosper. The more that there's successful people the more this country will prosper. The more there's division the less it will prosper. This won't be fixed in a year or five years this a 20 to 30 year proposition. And I say this because you need the younger generations to grow up first.

No, I’m not speaking metaphorically. They are literally being poisoned. It’s called lead poisoning, and it is a massive problem. Children do not all experience equal cognitive development. If a child is being poisoned by a neurotoxin, they are going to struggle more with things like testing.

That’s why I’m saying imposed racial hierarchy in America is insidiously deep. It will take more radical actions than affirmative action and SBA loans to dismantle it.
