> It's due to a bunch of systemic problems and America's history of racism and slavery. How do you explain then, that asian-americans (on average) outearn whites, have a higher SAT score and are less likly to be in prison? They have been impacted by racist policies too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internment_of_Japanese_Americans https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internment_of_Japanese_America... > This of course will lead more black people to turn to crime, because they have less good options, because they are on average, poorer and less educated. All the old laws and our history going back to slavery still has effects today that are compounding and allow the problem to continue to exist. poverty and education dont explain those numbers, but there is (at least partly) the growing number of fatherless homes that correlate with many factors influence positive outcome. https://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2017/06/18/533062607/poverty-dropouts-pregnancy-suicide-what-the-numbers-say-about-fatherless-kids https://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2017/06/18/533062607/poverty... https://datacenter.kidscount.org/data/line/107-children-in-single-parent-families-by-race?loc=1&loct=1#1/any/false/37,871,870,573,869,36,868,867,133,38/asc/10,11,9,12,1,185,13/431 https://datacenter.kidscount.org/data/line/107-children-in-s... You want black people to get out of this cycle? Dont be a criminal, comply with police, educate yourself, help others do the same. But somehow this is called "acting white".

It's ridiculous to say that Asian Americans have experienced anything near the racism that black people have in the United States. I don't think they should even be included in the conversion when talking about racism. The racism they experience is mostly prejudice-type racism, not systemic. > the growing number of fatherless homes that correlate with many factors influence positive outcome. Well yeah, that's another systemic problem, that's partially caused by fathers being in prison and such. > You want black people to get out of this cycle? Dont be a criminal, comply with police, educate yourself, help others do the same. But somehow this is called "acting white". I don't follow your logic. If it's so easy for black people to get out of the cycle, why don't they? Why is it that so many black people are in the cycle vs. white people? Are you saying that black people are inherently worse?

How much more systemic can you get than an Executive Order? Sure, it wasn't to the same degree as for black people, but shouldn't it have an effect? At least a little? > If it's so easy for black people to get out of the cycle, why don't they? Yeah, why don't they? Check the biography of every black celebrity. Everyone chose to get their shit together early in their life or was supported by the parents. EVERYONE! ICE T by joining the military to support his daughter. Samuel L. Jackson was sent to LA by his mother before anything bad could happen after a tip from the FBI. At some point personal responsibility has to come into play.
