" In short, these people are marginalized to the point that the only options they have left are crime and return to prison."
This is by far the most racist bunch of bullshit I've read in a long time. You could throw n bombs around all day and not even come close to the level of uneducated racism we have right there. It doesn't matter what kind of garbage you wrap it in, you just marginalized every single person to do well in spite of where they grew up or the color of their skin.
The only people marginalizing them are leftists who make them out to be too stupid to fend for themselves. For every single non-white person that graduates college you have the single best proof that personal decisions make the man and nothing else. I grew up in Over the Rhine Cincinnati in a neighborhood that was over 99% black. 56 E McMicken Cincinnati, OH. Look that shit up on google maps and come back at me with your 'I read this somewhere and it sounded good' bullshit. I was one of three white kids in a graduating class of 250. My friends were never exposed to racism from whites, went to a school with more per student funding than every other public school in Cincinnati and every one of us, regardless of race had more than enough options to go to college for free because our parents had no money. The amount of help and free services to the people at my school vastly outnumbered what white kids in the suburbs get but almost no one bothered to use them. Its not suburban white culture that hurts these people its inner city black culture. People are quick to suck on that government tit to the point I had to fight my way through school because I wanted better for myself. Was it racist white people beating up my black friends for doing well in school? Was it racist white people mocking them daily because they wanted to do better? Nope it was their fellow black students. Sorry to burst your little leftist bubble but the only thing that held my neighbors back were themselves. My neighbors didn't deal drugs and rob people at gun point because it was their only choice, it was the easier choice. There's some hard working people in that neighborhood but a lot of them just don't want to work at a $14/hour job like I had when I went to school. Why bother when the government will feed you and pay 80% of your rent. The rest of anything you need can be hustled for pretty fast. That leaves you 24 hours a day to lay on your ass teaching your kids these same values.
