Yup. When it comes to individual responsibility, Black people are killing it like Babe Ruth hit home runs. But when it comes to society’s end of the bargain, Black people are being failed.
@JackDallas you may have a point about PJ being able to use a horseshit rating. It absolutely is whites (along with a handful of rich Blacks, etc., but mostly whites) creating high-crime slums by throwing people out of work, punishing people for forming family ties, segregating housing and removing the wealth largely accumulated on Blacks’ backs from the neighborhoods where Blacks live, using Black neighborhoods to sell drugs for profits for white-dominated gangs and federal agencies, etc.
The high school completion rate for Blacks is near an all-time high. If a lot of Blacks still drop out, that is because society has made it the best option for them ... for example because the alternative is dying of unemployment.
As I said above, when it comes to individual choices Black people are hitting it out of the park. Blacks are far less likely than whites to binge drink or drink and drive. They are less likely to use illegal drugs. They are more likely to spend an hour or more on homework every night and they are more likely to make sure their kids are doing their homework. They are more likely to have perfect attendance in school. And the list goes on.
