This is all the black society's fault!
And this is the result!
Since African-Americans were unwelcome in white neighborhoods, which frequently instituted racial restrictive covenants to keep them out, the policy effectively meant that blacks could not secure mortgage loans at all. At various times the practice also affected other ethnic groups, including Latinos, Asians, and Jews. The assumptions in redlining resulted in a large increase in residential racial segregation and urban decay in the United States.
Redlining paralyzed the housing market, lowered property values and further encouraged landlord abandonment. As abandonment increased, the population density became lower. Abandoned buildings would serve as havens for drug dealing and other illegal activity.[11]
Dan Immergluck writes that in 2002 small businesses in black neighborhoods still received fewer loans, even after accounting for business density, business size, industrial mix, neighborhood income, and the credit quality of local businesses.[
This is all the choices that black people make!

So only black people live in the ghetto now? Nope. There are a ton of Hispanics, Arabs, Asians, and Whites that live there. They all act the exact same way. Ghetto is not synonymous with black, black people that live in the suburbs do not have these problems. People are a product of their environment.

Poor communities are predominantly African American. Education is for the most part underfunded and under-supported and larger opportunities are less available. I understand what POTUS is trying to do but I think he needs to use this more for poorer communities versus just a race.
Just my two cents
Poor communities are predominantly African American.

Suburban school, none of this existed. I couldn't believe it was real, it was like moving to another country. People are a product of their environment.

Go to a school that's in a black neighborhood then go to one that's in a white neighborhood. Then you will see why the blacks say that Obama and the others have escaped.
That couldn't be more true.
I went to both ghetto and suburban schools. The inequality of the two is extremely appalling. If I wouldn't have moved I would have probably ended up dropping out.
Cockroaches, not enough desks, 20 year old books, paper shortages, no authority, no punishment, no one cared about you. Teachers treated you as if you were a lost cause and collateral damage. Fights every single day, people selling crack, huge class sizes, reduced class periods, on and on and on...

Every behavior that you are calling a "black" thing.. isn't. It is ghetto behavior. Go drive to your nearest ghetto and look at how all the whites behave, how many are single parents, have parents that are crack heads, on welfare...it's the majority. Same with the latinos..
Black people born and raised in the suburbs tend not to have these issues.
Who would be willing to spend more money on desks, books, paper for such a malcontent "student body" ?

There are a lot of white people, arabs, Hispanics, that go to schools in the ghetto. It is not just black people.
A large portion of the ghetto kids DID want to learn. It wasn't like it was complete out of control chaos. Probably around 35% of the students were actual idiots. The rest were trapped in a world surrounded by idiots.

Yeah, lets just close down all inner-city public schools.
