it is not the lack of funding (schools get extra funding for lower results in Vegas), it is rather the lack of parental involvement and support. I am real close with the principal at my school, and he and I have intelligent conversations, and that statistic he pointed out to me
Ah yes, so completely shift the blame way from the racists and blame black people, seriously, are you trying to justify racism? Makes sense.
Also, why are you completely ignoring the institutional impacts? Crime is always more prevalent in poorer communities and neighbourhoods. Obviously, due to the historical segregation and enslaving of black people, there will be a much higher percentage of their population living in poverty. Did you know there is not a single state with a significant black population where a higher percentage of whites are in poverty than blacks? This extends to ALL minorities, not just black minorities.
You also say that black officers shooting black people more often too shows the blame is on the culture of black people. No. The blame is on the culture of the police force, because NO innocent people should be being murdered by police, who should be protecting you, let alone a minority group being disproportionately murdered because the police are systematically trained to target these communities and put them in to prison for WEED. (Why do you think the U.S has the highest incarceration right in the whole world?)
You blame 'black communities' for not doing enough, but have you seen the state of schools and services in many black communities? There are many people trying to help, but when something is so severely underfunded by the government, it can only go so far.
I never said any of that, some black people have suffered terribly, there might even still be some evidence to racism in our society - luckily we condemn it entirely and it is illegal by law.
What I did say though is that it's cultural, which is evident by how most cops who shoot blacks are black. Black people are disproportionately represented in crimes that result in death, and that's not because of their race, but because of culture.
Black people can succeed in America, and the US has implemented some of the most supportive legislation and policies towards black people. In some places black people have a positive bias over white people with the same traits, i.e universities.
Because black culture is less repulsive towards the idea of crime, more black people turn into criminals, and as a result people suspect blacks more. The cure to that won't come from the police arresting or suspecting less black people, but rather from education and counter-culture from within the black community. So long as the black community is not working enough to provide said education, the numbers you mention won't get any better, and nobody's to blame for that except black people.
Ah Ah yes, so when blacks are horrendously disproportionately murdered by police officers in America, including CHILDREN being shot no questions asked while playing with toys (Tamir Rice) then blame the culture and choices. I'm sure that would have happened to a white child.
Or how about the countless times innocent black people have had police called on them for no reason, such as an 8 year old selling water (Permit Patty). Or when babysitter Corey Lewis was STALKED and had the police called on him while taking care of 2 children, AFTER he already explained he was babysitting them. Or when (BBQ Becky) called the police on a black family... having a BBQ in a BBQ designated area. Hell, there are even multiple cases of black politicians having the police called on them while campaigning... I guess they should have made some better choices, right?
But sure, this is all to do with culture and choices. I am sure for every time someone black gets the police called on them for this sort of , there are 5 cases where this happens to someone White, (Whites outnumber blacks 5:1 in America) since there is no such thing according to you.
really wish there was a button that would kill all women regardless of anything else, race, sexuality, if all women were gone then everything would be better

Think he was just summarising the content of the video tbh.
I get what you say, these are problems, although these aren't the kind of problems that are quantifiable by numbers like that. All these issues are linked, so you're looking at it the wrong way - its how society treats genders so harshly that's wrong. for example ,when it entitles the mother to the child regardless of the situation, implicating the differences which cause most of what you're trying to count here.
really wish there was a button that would kill all men regardless of anything else, race, sexuality, if all men were gone then everything would be better
in the video I linked, like 10% is society stereotyping (men are seen as weak when showing their emotions), 10% is rites and rituals (having to apply for selective service to get a driver's license and federal aid for scholarship grants), 35% has to do with parenthood (males have zero vote weight in the choice of abortion), 25% is victim help and facts about suffering (infantocide, suicide, and domestic abuse victims are mostly male), 20% is workplace statistics (males are less likely to be given a break from work, but more likely to be injured in the workplace).
The left and the right just try to win arguments by purposely misconstruing things to their own benefit. They take something in society, and blame it on people from the other side. Reminds me of monkeys having fights by flinging their poop everywhere.
I don't happen to subscribe to either side, but just by fact-based evidences alone, I hold more views associated with the right.
Also, the biggest male privilege I see is in the middle East, where women are still treated like property. There is a lot of crappy things that go on there, no offense to anyone, just an opinion.
1) in the US, oppression by opinion is a very rare sight. The first amendment protects your freedom of speech. Surely people will get pissed at you for your opinions all the time no matter what opinion you have, but nobody is oppressing liberals. There are some issues with america, price of living is tough and many people don't act up to the responsibility to the freedom they get and end up unsuccessful. Very little people act responsibly and still fail. A solid majority is blaming the state for issues they are responsible for; A good example of this are people who go study and practice something that the market doesn't demand, like gender studies, without a good plan for how they're gonna make a living.
2) some conservatives are racists, some liberals try to intimidate people with opposing opinions. Most liberals agree you need to work to get paid, with the philosophy that everyone can do anything given the right opportunities, while most conservatives agree that equality of opportunity is necessary with the philosophy that you earn your societal rights through work and contribution and everyone can find work they can do. There's rights and wrongs on both.
3) Some people are ashamed, others aren't, in the end of the day the US is one of the most successful societies to ever be built by humanity to this day simply for the fact all these voices can be heard and every single person in it has the right to make whatever their opinion is, known.
