If you don't believe in (recognize) white privilege why the fuck are you on a Democratic Forum?

Let's look at the reasons why African-American communities tend to have more problems. Yes, problems within culture do play some role(I will emphatically note, however, that this is not just true for that one group. Not at all. Every culture and subculture has its issues.). However, though, one must note that poverty is quite rife in the African-American & Latino communities in particular; Up until about 50 years ago, it was legal in not a few places to outright deny someone a job just because of what they looked like; their qualifications, etc., could be completely ignored. That has changed, and for the better, as law now prohibits such actions(though they have not entirely gone away, sadly), but that kind of thing contributed pretty heavily to said problem. And, unfortunately, substandard schooling and housing also play a role; for the latter, it's still not all that rare for greedy and outright corrupt real estate dealers to engage in shady business, even today. And many schools in minority areas are hugely underfunded, making it harder for teachers to actually teach their material, amongst other things(like shitty testing standards). Which leads to poor performance....which leads to many kids dropping out, etc.; corruption is also a problem. Here in the Lone Star State, where I live, the Dallas Independent School District has had one of the worst reputations in the whole entire region.

So, I could drag this out for a while, if I had the time. But the info is out there. Look for it.
