Diversity Makes Greatness
Hello McRocket,
Once again we disagree.
You are entitled to your own opinion.
Here is solid evidence which shows there is absolutely systemic racism in America:
"African-American men serve longer sentences than white men for the same crime, a new study by the U.S Sentencing Commission shows.
The commission's analysis of demographic prison data from 2012 to 2016 found that black men serve sentences that are on average 19.1 percent longer than those for white men for similar crimes.
The Sentencing Project also found that black men are nearly six times as likely as white men to be incarcerated, and Hispanic men are 2.3 times as likely. For black men in their 30s, one in every 10 is in prison or jail on any given day, according to 2015 data cited by the organization."
Consider this. A black person was raised in poverty by a parent / parents who do not know how to be successful, nor how to impart the wisdom of success. They are told as a child they would never amount to anything. There is peer pressure to support all of that.
They would have to break away from everything they know and do something different than all of their friends in order to be successful.
Nobody ever told them the three most important decisions they make in life are 1. How much education to get, 2. Whether or not to have children, how many, or when to become a parent, and 3. Who they marry.
You could add a 4th major decision: 4. What job they will work.
Unsuccessful people do not understand the importance of these major life decisions. Often times they make them too early in life, such as having children too young, which severely limits the options available for the rest of the big decisions.
Successful people do a superior job of planning / managing their lives. They make good goals, methodically pursue them.
Impoverished people think differently. More in the moment. They don't have enough self-confidence to make goals or figure out how to pursue them because they don't really believe it is possible to achieve them.
People who are raised to be impoverished generally become impoverished adults.
People who are raised to be successful generally become successful adults.
Poverty is more prevalent in blacks because so many black families have been discriminated against for so many years they often simply don't know any better. They have been systematically consigned to poverty be generations of racism.
It is nobody's fault if they are born into poverty and can't escape it by age 30. Some do. Most don't.
