Blatant White Privilege and systemic white racism on display
This implies that you think if black minors were charged as adults it would indicate systemic racism, no?
Systemic racism precludes colored people from knowing right and wrong
60 years ago black people were still fighting for civil rights, their families have had no opportunity to accumulate wealth and most wealth in this country is inherited.
They got red lined in to inner cities where drugs and crime thrive, no matter what color you are, because that’s the easiest way to make money. The success rate of white kids coming out of the inner city isn’t good either.
Then we hammered them with the war on drugs.
We fund schools with property taxes, giving the 5 year old in the suburbs a systemic advantage over the 5 year old in the inner city.
So yes, systemic racism is why black people are disproportionately poor, why they’re less likely to grow up in a two parent household, why they have worse educational opportunities and anyone in those circumstances is more likely to commit violent crimes.
I know you hate the woke shit and there is a ton of ridiculousness. “Science is white supremacy” and “manspreading”. But we also have all of the substance. You can hate the woketards and still live over here in reality. Or you can go side with Bob, who thinks there’s a black gene that makes them run faster and not be able to do math.

Just because you have a trust fund doesn’t mean ‘most wealth is inherited.’
No other country in the world has the opportunity to create wealth and prosperity like the US.
You’re full of shit.
In 2017 60% of wealth in the US had been inherited.
The US is 27th in the world in social mobility.
You’re out of your fucking league, kid.
Here’s the problem that I have with this mindset
This idea that rich are rich and continue to be rich sounds great ... but the reality is that you can easily squander all of that by being an idiot
There’s no price tag for motivation and drive
As Throbber mentioned, there are paths to success in this country. Yes, circumstance can make things more challenging ... everybody with a brain would agree with this. But circumstance doesn’t preclude.
You’re right that there are systemic elements that cause gaps and we should be able to find solutions to close those gaps. Life is also full of choices and people need to be accountable for their choices as well. I know that’s probably controversial to you but reality is all of us are faced with choices daily. We all have accountability for our choices.

Other minorities and Jews take like 10 years to build wealth after immigrating here. They weren't treated well. Explain that one.
That’s like a 500 page paper but I think a couple of the simplest answers to convey are
1. Minorities like Jews and Asians are often immigrating here as middle class or higher and well educated. When that’s your starting point, it’s easier to succeed then when you literally started as slaves.
2. Other minorities always had black people as the lowest rung. A good example of this is the US appraisal industry ranked neighborhoods in the 1930s with A, B, C and D grades. Neighborhoods with Jewish residents would get Bs and Cs while neighborhoods with even a single black resident would get a D.
Or maybe, @TheKobeStopper, the other minorities just know a good country and a good deal when they see one, because they haven't spent their entire educations being brainwashed that the country they live in is irredeemably racist, and so racist that millions of non-white people stream across it's Southern border by the hundreds of thousands each year.

I don’t disagree with your last paragraph but context really matters. A lot of these choices are being made by kids.

And it is in no way comparable to the choices the kid in the suburbs gets to make.

Fuck Me. You've swallowed the entire Liberal Bullshit Narrative hook, line and sinker. About 90% of your argument is complete horse shit and cheap rhetoric.
You know almost nothing about the true purposes of the so-called "redlining" you bitch about, but if it was so pervasive, how did all those black families buy homes in the CD, formerly owned by Jews and Italians prior to the 1960's?
Once again, @TheKobeStopper, you've completely memorized the lyrics without understanding them and you've completely missed the tune.

I’m all for having real discussions about how to make things better for all Americans regardless of race, religion, gender, orientation, etc
That said, bringing 2 examples out that in your own words are at minimum 80-90 years old and effectively 150+ years ago isn’t really solving anything today and going forward. What it does do though is look backwards and blame issues of today on the (not recent) past.
1. Do good in school. You'll get free shit 2. Go to college with the free shit 3. Realize that it's all bullshit and being competent is important 4. Realize that being part of a revenue center vs a coat center is key 5. Even if you are a cost center sell it as if it were a revenue center. 6. Profit
Or maybe, @TheKobeStopper, the other minorities just know a good country and a good deal when they see one, because they haven't spent their entire educations being brainwashed that the country they live in is irredeemably racist, and so racist that millions of non-white people stream across it's Southern border by the hundreds of thousands each year.
Pretty sure that those that fled areas in Southeast Asia in the 60s and 70s in particular didn’t come here with much to their names
In many instances, those that came here did everything they could to make ends meet while focusing on ensuring that their children took advantage of their opportunities and education

Are you blaming white people for brainwashing black people or black people for being brain washed?

Inheriting $$$ is great ... we all should be so lucky

But if $$$ is viewed as a sign of success and therefore you don’t have to do shit going forward ... well THAT mindset will turn one into a disaster
We all have choices ... we all have obstacles
I get your point about choosing gangs/drugs vs education and clearly that’s an issue in a number of neighborhoods in many cities. But again, we all have choices. Do you make short term or long term choices?

You believe the most amazingly stupid shit put in front of you without the least bit of questioning. It’s an amazing skill even actual lemmings would be proud of. A scale using “health care” as its first metric of social mobility is a scale with an agenda, and the fact the top 10 countries are powder white Northern European countries (on a scale built in another powder white country) should outrage the social warrior in you.
Instead you lap up what is being fed to you like a good little puppy...

@TheKobeStopper: Take pause for one minute and think for a second: If any of the things you say and advocate for actually worked or truly represented actual facts, people wouldn't be in the circumstances they are in, some 50 to 60 years after the CRA, Welfare, Affirmative Action and all the other "hands up" programs you think we need.
They don't work, @TKS, because substituting government agencies for family members is pouring a glass of water on a raging inferno, and throwing money at problems and solutions with no track record of success is just stupid. You're a fountain of constant whiny complaints, but you've got no plan or solutions.
And that's reason numero uno why nobody but a couple brain damaged people on these boreds agree with you.
