I’m a leader, you ignorant racist soy boy

It won't work in 95% of those communities. Why do you think people like Oprah Winfrey and Michael Jordon aren't heavily investing their billions into poor black/white/red/yellow/brown communities? Why do you think Bill Gates isn't investing his billions into poor white/black/red/yellow/brown communities? For that matter, why is it, do you think, that poor communities tend to stay poor?

If your community is burned down every 3-6 months in riots, what use is it to invest? Who benefits? If gang violence and related crime is so through the roof, and kids are dropping out to join those gangs, or while they're still a tad young to drop out, are simply skipping out, does it matter if some school administrators get a few million extra added to administrative staff paychecks?

If you have methed out community, where 80% of the males are convicted felons, meth production is everywhere, and 95% of the females are single mothers on welfare, can you find the labor to even properly staff a business?

You can't just "throw money" at a problem. Look at Baltimore. "Racist policing". Okay, so they replaced their primarily white police force. Trained up a bunch of black police, transferred black police in, and in general, made their department black. Did that stop the riots, did that stop rioters from attacking them, firebombing them, and shooting them? Did it stop the outcry and proceeding riot when a black police officer, who was actively being shot at returned fire in self defense? Of course not.

Bernie's an idiot who held up Venezuela as the model example on why socialism works. How'd that go? It led to a crashed authoritarian state where a wheel barrow of money won't buy you a single roll of toilet paper, the population is starving and without proper medical care or services, while the "President" sits fat and happy in his palace.

these people just know that it would be a gigantic waste of money

ask successful guys who escaped their "community", they dont want anything whatsoever to do with them

we see this every single time, whether its domestic poor communities or development aid

throwing money at a group that has no structure or mentality does not work

Generally speaking: the main cleavage in American politics should be rich vs poor, not white vs non-white. It really baffles me that even high IQ people like you fail to see how modern identity politics are a deliberate (!!) distraction amped up by the billionaire class via their allies in politics, media, NGOs and academia. It's textbook "divide and conquer", why cant you guys see that?

Of course! There's a reason why so many black athletes have been asked about their attempts to reinvest in the poor community they came from. They're trying to find a success story to throw out.

Very few even tried to invest in their communities. Most talked at length about bringing their families and close friends OUT of those communities, and what a financial burden said people were on them.

And even those who arguably can be said to "invest" in the old communities weren't bringing in businesses, or dropping stacks of cash on schools. They're providing targeted scholarships and donating to like, domestic abuse organizations, food banks, etc.

We can squabble all we want about the problem description, but that's not the point. What I wrote about the solution is still correct: trying to overcome racial inequality via counter-discrimination or even counter-racism is the wrong approach, it will only poison race relations and politics even further. Ban John from the race, but dont punish people 30 years later because their parents used to be on John's team.

You got promoted to leader of the mall cops. Are you up to $12 an hour?

staying in their community is a recipe to go broke

the overwhelming majority of athletes is not making dozens of millions

there is a reason why so many athletes are bankrupt a few years after their careers, especially blacks

the average nfl guy, who made a few million bucks goes back to their community, share their money with parents, siblings, uncles, aunts, nieces, friends until they are sucked dry

always the same shit, you can literally follow these guys ruining themselves on social media
