Are any people in America actually oppressed?

1. Black people aren't denied a healthy educational environment. Either you try for your grades, find a better place to get an education, or choose to forget around too much to get anything done, which seems to be the role model people are after. Plenty of black kids from poor families have gotten themselves a good education by actually trying.

2. You're black because of your skin color and genetic background, not because you buy into stereotypes.

What? Do you not know a single thing about human emotions? Well here's a news flash: when you live in a stuffty environment your entire life, your chances of leaving said stuffty environment are astronomically low. I was forced to go to a bad middle school not because I had bad grades or was a slacker, but because I lived right next to it and thats how the education system works. When i'm surrounded by teachers who constantly say I have no future and i'm surrounded by people who also are told they have no future, what makes you think suddenly i'm going to have some sort of mental realization and become albert einstein mc harvard grad or some stuff? Children are the most vulnerable group of humans on this planet, and surprise surprise, when you put a bunch of children in a poorly maintained and stuffty environment, they're all going to turn stuffty. Apparently its our fault now that we aren't given the proper environment to feel comfortable and get a good education.

The difference between the average white teen and the average black teen is that the white teen is more likely to be zoned to a better school because they already live in a better neighborhood. Black teens will be zoned to bad schools because they live in a bad neighborhood.

[Perry]

The education system isn't a business. You can't just get up and leave your stuffty black school and walk over the white neighborhood and just sit in on some white classes. You're forced to go to a zone school, and if you live in a stuffty neighborhood, you're zoned to some of the worst schools in existence.

I'd say 100 IQ points but I'm pretty sure that's tribal

Black teens will be zoned to bad schools because they live in a bad neighborhood.

How should we fix the problem then? Throw more money at it?

[Buzzwaker!]

wait bedpost is black? what the forget why are all the problem users here black

goddamn educationless primates

oh forget im black too. this is a serious coincidence. bedpost i knew was black because he told me.

[Willymcmilly]

See, now, this wouldn't be as much of a problem if our government put more money into education and less on their human meat grinder and sucking israeli rooster for crude oil.

I lived in Providence RI for a while and the public schools there are way underfunded. Most of the schools in the providence area are private but of course we couldn't afford them so I had to spend some time in the public schools. It didn't help that providence was beginning their new budget cuts on public education and libraries too.

[Perry]

How should we fix the problem then? Throw more money at it?

Yes. Schools should actually receive proper funding and qualified ass teachers

[Poliwhirl]

there generally exists, in america, poor people stuck in a perpetual cycle of being born into crime and thus committing crime (adopted into a 'criminal culture' at a very young age is very convincing). they are then sent to jail which 'conveniently' gives america that $$$, then when they get out of prison they can't get a job so they stay uneducated and poor and go on to have more Crime Babies. so yes, that's pretty close to oppression.
