Not just parents - extended family too. America spent centuries excluding black people from basically every resource for generational accumulation of wealth and all that entails. Now we just want to say "well, sorry about that. But it's an even playing field now. Good luck to all!"
No. As Sotomayor said, facile thinking at best.

A bunch of excuses by the usual excuse makers of this forum. Blacks settle for a lower life or they don't and strive for better. A choice. Just like my white father who was raised by a single mom (divorce). He was penniless when I was born. But he was married and had a job. Two things that are not the norm by percentage in the black world compared to the white world. Where was my Dad's (as Dylan opines) "generational accumulation of wealth and all that entails". He started from the ground up and so can blacks as long they and their white apologists stop blaming whitey's great, great ,great grandfathers. Blame the lack of black family cohesion and procreation without consequence due to the welfare state.

Excellent points Dylan. Policy ought to be designed for the average not the exceptional.
