Hard to generate "generational wealth" when baby daddy splits and you spend discretionary welfare income on Newports, pork rinds, and 2-liters of Fanta Orange.
Exactly my point. You cannot have generational wealth when you don't have stable families to pass wealth onto.
And there are theories out there that the government helped influence black culture to be this way (and I think there is some validity to that), but it doesn't change the fact that the solution isn't to simply give reparations or some shit like that, it's to put in the effort to counteract those internal cultural values. It starts with black dads actually being dads, and continues on with eliminating gang culture, drug dependency and removing/replacing the idolatry of being thugs (how much rap music is just idolising being a scummy person?). It starts from the inside, not from the outside.
Which is funny, because even if there is "systemic racism", bitching about it won't actually change anything. The only way to beat such supposed systems is to actually beat it. Bitching about it, asking others to "dismantle" it won't do shit. Bettering yourself? That's how you beat it. It's not about "The Other Side™". It's about the person. The individual.
But that goes against collectivism, so Leftists (and let's be honest and not mince words, statists in general) hate such ideas because it's counterproductive to creating a class dependent upon them.

Yet everyone claiming to help the "black community" advance insists all their problems are caused by whitey or the mysterious "systemic racism."
