I must say, I'm quite surprised to learn that all of Sub-Saharan African is run by American Democrats.

What type of desperation? Could you elaborate on what is causing this desperation?

Poverty can often be a vicious cycle for certain cultures. A child raised in a broken home will often be more inclined towards crime, and then that child may grow up to produce a child in the same situation.

Like those cultures that were given billions of acres of stolen real estate in the 19th century, vs those that were slaves and excluded from the homestead acts and doomed to be eternal tenants in their homeland.

So black nationalism and the social safety net caused black people to value education less which led to the racial disparity in prison population.

What does valuing education less lead to that could cause black people to commit more crime?

What I mean is there seems to be a step missing in the process of that equation.

What is the link between valuing education less and committing more crime?

That's a complicated question, but I would assume it's all part of a cycle.

Valuing education less leads to lower grades. Lower grades lead to fewer higher education opportunities. Fewer higher education opportunities lead to less gainful employment. Less gainful employment leads to financial problems. Financial problems lead to criminal attempts to pay the bills and subsist.

Historically, yes, that plays a part.

Granted, what people don't like to talk about is that various minorities come to the US that are poorer than most other groups yet still rise economically. Various East Asian cultures are much more economically mobile than black people on average despite often starting with fewer funds or assets than them.

Ultimately, culture determines someone's fate more than any historical ills.
