Black people in America have been systematically denied opportunities. That did not end in 1964. Soft racism persisted, and it still does, though it's improving rapidly right now. These people were literally herded into the worst parts of town. They were denied mortgages. They were disproportionately targeted by law enforcement. They were given harsher sentences. (Do you think incarcerating young black fathers is good for the family?) And, white people weren't comfortable hiring them because of their prejudices and unconscious biases. That's how we got here. It's important that white people understand it. Fortunately, that's happening, thanks to progressives.
Black people weren't 'literally herded' they bought where they could afford to buy. They chose to buy homes near black churches, and to live amongst other black people. Are you calling their preference racism?
Black children do poorer in school. I learned to read at home. If children can't learn to read before kindergarten, they're probably not going to read in school. Throwing money at it doesn't seem to help, because our schools are the worst performing schools on Earth, despite being the most heavily funded.
Black people aren't targeted by police for being black, but for being 6x more violent than white people. They're targeted for the crime not the color.
Look what happened when we started releasing convicts on a massive scale, a massive increase in the murder rate, mostly affecting black people. White cops don't kill very many black people, other black people are the overwhelming murderers of other black people. Incarcerating bad people keeps us all safe.
If you read up on James Q. Wilson's Broken Windows Theory and how it was implemented by William Bratton and Rudy Giuliani as a model for the rest of the nation, you would know that a lot of black folks who were never criminals and would never be criminals were targeted by police, not because of the color of their skin or membership in a racial cohort with a statistically higher propensity to commit crime - but rather because of the neighborhood they lived in.
That is just a fact.
From their standpoint, they did not appreciate being rousted.
I hope you can understand and sympathize with that.
Yes, I know of this. Police were doing Stop-n-Frisk on many innocent people in black neighborhoods. And when the courts stopped them, the murder rate skyrocketed.
