Of course not, I have not stated that it is the fault of “white people”. My point on this topic is that the system that was created many years ago have institutionalised many black people and poverty that it is difficult for them to do or be anything else. Black people who make it are often the obscenely clever people who went to private schools or were lucky enough to go to one of the “Big 8 Universities”*, the sport stars like footballers, athletes etc. or those who go through crime. Based on stats, the mostly likely way for a black person to make it is through sports or crime, as the education system has failed them.
The first step in making real changes is to acknowledge there is one, but many people are wilfully ignorant that they would rather argue with you to their deaths that there isnt a problem than actually trying to fix it.
*Big 8 Universities: Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial,
Manchester, LSE, Kings College London, UCL and Edinburgh.
