Progressives have been "fixing" in inner city for close to 60 years. How much more time do they need?
the question can be answered with 2 questions:
How many bandaids does it take to close a gaping wound?
and
Why are we using bandaids anyways?
democrats used bandaids to buy votes, it was effective at gaining everlasting support but also not effective at changing the reality of the ghetto.
housing projects that crumble in 2 decades and welfare creating a perpetual poverty cycle were never going to be enough to combat societal racism and the drastically further back place in the race of life many black people start from.
even the classic retort of "well asians overcame" falls a bit short, as there's a marked difference of immigrating to the US in the early 1900s to get paid slim wages and forced immigration in the 1700s to earn nothing. asians escaped the hell of share cropping, etc.
what will it take? a combination of libertarian localized capitalism and federally funded subsidizing to fuel the fire. black empowerment to succeed, not black enslavement to vote.
