Mark R According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 19.7 million children, more than 1 in 4, live without a father in the home. Consequently, there is a father factor in nearly all social ills facing America today. 4 times greater risk or poverty, 7 more times likely to become pregnant as a teen , more likely to face abuse and neglect , more likely to go to prison, 2 times more likely to drop out of school... are you going to say this does not exist?

Just so we can be clear... here is the truth... Individuals of any race, creed, political party affiliation or color can act racist but in America politically the only tolerated systemic racism is by the Democratic party.... A) against asians and whites as 1) quotas 2) affirmative action and 3) identity politics and B) against blacks and hispanics as 1) welfare dependency, 2) limited public school choices (vouchers, charter schools and school choice) and improper public school management by teacher unions, 3) Democrat party founded police unions deals with their Democrat mayors and Democrat city officials to cover up or under and overcharge officers (murder 1 charge instead of manslaughter to get officers off) by the Democrat district attorney to avoid their convictions, 4) selectively targeting minorities for abortions and 5) controlling the system to fostering single mother child rearing.... all with the narrative that the Democratic party cares about people of color, children and women.

Why can't he imagine a functional public school system that serves all children like in most other Western countries and like they used to function here. Those clowns just like to trash anything the government does except the military. So tell me how I am wrong to want all Black kids to have a great school and not just some that can get vouchers. Conservatives want the voucher system so then can have a way for White families to have White only schools. Fact.

It's tragic how public schools in more affluent neighborhoods offer great education while the schools in impoverished communities don't offer much opportunity. There's a lot of pushback against school choice, that's why there's a lottery system. The lottery system is a compromise. Again, Sowell prefers that every child have access to quality education.

@kelvinbrown8754 4 жыл бұрын

The voucher system by definition condemns those not getting vouchers to a sub standard education. He has NO remedy for that nor does he talk about one as it will inevitably lead back to improving the public schools for all. Something he and all Black conservatives abhor even though they all went to one and by some miracle turned out OK.

They spend it at businesses and then businesses fork it to taxes. And then those taxes go towards welfare yet again, perpetuating this cycle.

My grandmother(6th grade education) produced 13 high school graduates in the Jim Crow South during the 20s, 30s and 40s. It's not rocket science, it can be done. Fathers and parents must create a home environment that promotes personal responsibility, reading and good study habits. Turn off the TV during the week and open a book. Turn off Xbox and DVD players during the week. There should be some homework everyday. Make time to visit your child's school. Talk to your child's teacher(s) as much as you can. Education is a partnership between the teacher, parent and the student. You don't have to have a degree in math to help your child with math, you may need to work with the teacher to provide tutoring or other interventions to achieve success. Go to the PTO/PTA meetings and parent teacher conferences, this is important. Sit in on one of you child's classes and observe.

After doing some research, I've found that many of his arguments are actually very low resolution and don't sufficiently look critically at the causes of the issues faced by Black Americans. In the case of anti-poverty programs, southern anti-Black and religious politicians were responsible for the "no man in the house" rules to receive financial aid. And why did Black families need social aid in the first place except for higher levels of poverty caused by discrimination? Black people were increasingly being discriminated against in the labor market causing more unemployment leading to higher rates of poverty. People were poor and in desperate situations BEFORE receiving the aid. It really was the changing structure of society and discriminatory policies that exacerbated the problems Black people faced.

That's fair. It's an extremely complicated topic. My biggest issue with thedebate as it is today is that people want to do it through the national government. The cost of living varies state by state, sometimes by a lot. States should decide their own rates. Otherwise you end up with horrible mismatches that result in more harm than good. Businesses will lay people off if wage rates go up too much, which hurts hourly workers, poor communities, and minorities the most.

In 2016 I joined the campaign for Dr. Carson after hearing him say, “ blacks deserve a seat at the table of change.” He proposed investment through the black communities that were trapped in poverty. He proposed avenues to private property ownership in real estate, he proposed trade training with GED end results for Hugh school drop outs. His plan to assist minorities to gain access to owning their own businesses in their community. Owning their community though home and business ownership, specula programs that lead to education certification and trades for those whom were hurt in inner city schools. The GOP in the primaries in 2016 through lies destroy Dr. Carson’s chances, he with drew but before he told us followers to vote for Trump since Trump shared many common interest and goals as he did. We loved the guy, most of us followed his suggestion with the hope he would be part of the administration, today he is head of HUD and has done well despite critics. Obama was the nation’s greatest mistake, he hurt this nation and divided us with his twisted sick view of the nation that gave him such opportunity. There are endless black Americans like my hero, they can unite us and they know how to fix the suffering of many poverty stricken black Americans. Common sense public schools must accept everyone, charter schools can pick and select their students there are less disruptions and more respect for traditional teacher authority. Not fair to public schools, of course, but liberalism made them in operable by meeting the needs of a few at the expense of the average majority.
