Your Economy (No Politics)

[ChrisJP]

Thanks for posting that Al.

The dystopic nature of our inner cities cannot be traced back to slavery. Modern-day political machines are the culprits. Paying women to have fatherless children; running schools that avoid imparting basic math and literacy skills while lowering the standards for achievement; suppressing police responses to avoid bad optics and litigation… all add up to imposed squalor. And none of this can be traced back to slavery or any of its aftereffects.

I'm in favor or reparations in concept. But I dont think it would be constructive for African Americans to pay society back for the trillions we've spent on them since the 1980s. I just think we should call it even.

Seriously.
