No, culture is. Black culture is rotten. They need to stand up and fix it.
I find this comment unhelpful and unnecessarily inflammatory.
It’s not black culture that’s rotten. It’s inner-city culture.
Black, White, Hispanic...either of those raised in poverty in the inner city have a much higher likelihood of ending up in a life of crime and never ending poverty.
I just recently moved my family from a small town of about 40,000 to the second largest metropolitan area in Florida.
The schools here are overwhelmed. The school board is inaccessible to parents, teachers are underpaid and schools are understaffed. School administrators are obsessed with politics and the latest cause du jour.
My kids aren’t dummies. They’re sharp little “turdles,” as my wife and I lovingly call them. But in the town we came from, they were average, at best. In this city, they’re top of their class, straight A students without even breaking a sweat.
I can’t quite put my finger on the issue exactly or what can be done about it, but there’s something about living in the inner city and having limited resources because of how many people are living on top of each other that makes the education system suffer.
