A high percentage of our incarcerated are black. Blacks have higher crime rates than other races in the US. A high percentage of black people are on welfare. Blacks have among the lowest education scores across the nation.
And on and on.
So why is this? Is this purely racial - the black community owns this? Or has our society failed the black community. Alienated, segregated, discriminated against them? Denied them the real opportunities that whites have enjoyed for generations.
Or a combination?
