It might be different in Canada, but I'm talking about the States. We have a long history of oppressing POC that is still going on today e.g. discrimination within highering practices, the Criminal Justice System, the education system, voting, redlining etc.

I mean, it's hard to solve the problem when people make broad generalizations. It would be better if they point to instances so that we can discuss it better. "Discrimination in education" who what when where? Get what I mean?

Yeah I know what you mean, but this is Twitter. It's hard to talk about a complex topic like this in a comprehensive way in 280 characters. But I'll try (1)

Black children are more likely to go to underfunded poor schools with little to no extracurricular activities. http://www.theatlantic.com/amp/article/471414/ … America's schools are still largely segregated which has negative impacts on minorities. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/answer-sheet/wp/2016/12/14/the-reason-americas-schools-are-so-segregated-and-the-only-way-to-fix-it/?utm_term=.cee4e7c268bc … https://tcf.org/content/facts/the-benefits-of-socioeconomically-and-racially-integrated-schools-and-classrooms/ …

The School to Prison Pipeline disproportionately affects Black children. http://www.pbs.org/wnet/tavissmiley/tsr/education-under-arrest/school-to-prison-pipeline-fact-sheet/ … So these are just a few examples of problems that are very real that have very negative effects on many Black people before they are even adults.

Decriminalizing marijuana and other drugs without externalities would probably solve this

I mean that would help overall, but I don't see how that would address Black kids being more likely to be suspended for the same offense as a White kid...

Well, it may be racism. Also take into account that maybe teachers in black areas are stricken probably. Also if the kid has a history that can effect him. But yeah, racism can exist with individuals. I don't see a government solution to it outside ending drug war

I don't know that extra funding for schools is enough and in some cases doesn't work, and I'm against affirmative action. I think stopping the crime problem first, and probably the single motherhood problem, it would solve a lot of problems

Yeah, so this is why it's such a hard problem to solve. There isn't a single solution. To affect real change you would have to make reforms on multiple area at the same time.
