There is another facet of this issue that may not be readily evident. In 1963 I moved from Montgomery County, Maryland, to Prince Georges County. I was taking second level French and first level Latin at the time; Montgomery County used an oral-aural approach to teaching foreign languages, while Prince Georges County used grammar-translation. When I entered the classroom, I greeted the teacher in French. It quickly became apparent that I spoke French better than anyone in the room, including the teacher.
35 years later I addressed a Board of Directors in Paris. In the midst of the presentation they asked if I had English slides; I did and used them going forward. The Chairman of the Board later told me, "It's amazing. You speak so well and you write like sh!t"
'No serious person—not one—thinks that ... racism doesn't exist in the United States. It does... it's done terrible things to people—terrible things to my black fellow Americans, especially. '
What are the top three racist conditions that disadvantage today's black Americans?
I really appreciated this series. It was incredibly insightful, with respect to the relevant history, where we are, and what we can do about it. Kudos and thank you!
So depressing to see what my granddaughters are facing.
Right on. Schools are into ideological brainwashing and not broad knowledge acquisition or thought development.

Biggest disadvantage is fatherless homes. Second is black in black crime/violence. Third is poor education opportunities in their communities.
