Banks created the ghettos through redlining, which then resulted in reduced property values, which means, less funding for schools.

Awesome making excuses for horrible teachers that cannot do their job.
Banks are racist.

How does it feel going through life and blaming virtually every problem on other people and things?

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
A survey of two districts of similar incomes, one being largely white and the other largely black, found that branches in the black community offered largely subprime loans and almost no prime loans. Studies found out that high-income blacks were almost twice as likely to end up with subprime home-purchase mortgages as low-income whites. Loan officers were also apparently aware that what they were doing was exploitative, as they referred to blacks as “mud people” and to subprime lending as “ghetto loans

This was talking about the past, You know the whole legal segregation thing. And you just said in your previous post that black people were still unwelcome, or did you forget?

I didn't know stating historical events was called blaming people.

If I included other races in this post, it would contradict itself. Obama was brought up with this Black Liberation Theology stuff that Wright and the Black Panthers use. The Mexicans and all the other races come here because they want to be here. It's almost like the radical blacks, don't want to be here. But they won't dare go back to Africa!!!! And anyone caught saying that, "if they hate America so much they should return to Africa." will get shot!

Yes I did say that, "Poor communities are predominantly African American." unfortunately that's true.
It looks to me like POTUS isn't trying to separate any group or groups. It looks like trying he's trying fix a problem that predominantly affects the African American community. It's not about blaming the white man or white culture or succumbing to Black Panthers or Rev Wright.
While I don't agree with just targeting the AA community I do think he's trying to make things better.

Thank you! The difference in schools is night and day. However, go to those upscale black neighborhoods and look at their schools.
It's just.. poverty and America.

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...
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.

1) African American Department of Government - Yes, we already have the Congressional BLACK caucus, but this doesn't seem to be doing black people any good. The BLACK POTUS is only half black, so you know, he is part racist! We should create a separate black congress for blacks to come up with their own laws that only apply to blacks. A 100% black POTUS can be leader of the Black Executive branch as well.
2) African American Department of Justice - Jail systems are filled up with, what, 60% blacks and they are only 13% of the population. Obviously, the jail system is a racist racket. So, we should, as tax-payers, fund this department so that blacks have it fair: Black people will only be tried in front of black jurors, black judges, and have black prosecution and defense. Also, black people will not be able to be arrested nor questioned by white police officers because white cops are racist.
3) African American Department of Treasury/African American Federal Reserve - Since it has been pointed out that BANKS ARE RACIST, we need to create BLACK ONLY banks, so that they can't be racist towards blacks. The black federal reserve can also issue black only currency.
4) African American Department of Housing - There are already disproportionate numbers of black welfare recipients and section eight housing (yes, just like jail numbers), and blacks even get subsidized housing to move into "white" neighborhoods. Why not just make it official?
These are all great ideas. I think a lot of blacks do need to be propped up because of "slavery" and "segregation".
... but I want them to do it on their own dollar, just like everyone else does. Someone else in this thread said all the other "white" presidents have been enacting legislation for whites only. Well.. who funded that? Mostly "white" tax payers. They are 78% of the population. Makes sense to me, if we are going to SEGREGATE GOVERNMENTAL DEPARTMENTS.
So, for these RACIST departments... include Obama's African American Department of Education... I say:
JUST TAX THE BLACKS.
