And why is that Dumb Butthead American? Why are minorities more likely to be poor than white people?
Low quality inner-city schools with few textbooks, computers or other resources. The USA is the only first world country outside of Turkey (which is hardly a first world country), to spend more on the education of the children of the rich then they do the children of the poor. Norway actually spends more on the poor kids, to give them a better opportunity to work their way out of poverty.
The Republicans have been trying for decades to eliminate public education and move to entirely charter school system. Minority children completely disappear from the school system in areas where this has been tried because their parents lack the resources to make up the difference between the voucher and the cost.
The New Orleans School Board tried this after Katrina and it was a failure. Enrolment in the new charter schools dropped by 60,000 kids after public schools closed.
Then there’s a lack of opportunity when they do get out of school. Few jobs and lots of competition. Studies have shown that when they mix up the resumes and put black names on white resumes, the black names don’t get called for interviews.
But keep pretending there is no racism in America and that Black people are lazy and stupid. That’s why we call you a Dumb Butthead American.
Again, the "woe is me" and it is always somebody else's fault attitude the left promotes. There is AMPLE opportunity in education for ANYONE in the US for those that seek it. The issue has much more to do with a lack of effort than a lack of opportunity. Some are under the impression that white people are given good grades and given scholarships and there is not an element of personal responsibility. That is simply false.
