“Education is the keystone of any modern civilization. “

I finally had to stop there. No, the keystone of modern civilization is the nuclear family. It is in that environment that respect for authority and self-discipline is learned. Without this under-pinning, all you get is educated fools.

What has happened to blacks primarily, is socialist thinking; in the US this came packaged in the form of LBJ’s so-called ‘Great Society’ - where fathers were replaced by the state. Generations have now grown up without any understanding of how respect & self-discipline work.

It should be noted that prior to the GS, blacks were tracking with whites in nearly every category (illegitimacy, education, income, etc.).

IMO - the problems with blacks has nothing to do with race and EVERYTHING to do with the victim status given them by the democrat party. How do I know this? Talk to conservatives blacks about the way they were raised.

” Without this under-pinning, all you get is educated fools.”

Lest I be pelted by a multitude of “successful single-mom” anecdotes, I should qualify the above with the word “generally”.

Obviously, there have been single-mo success stories of the highest order. But these are (generally) the exception, rather than the rule - especially where you see generational lapses of an active father being in the home.

“IMO - the problems with blacks has nothing to do with race . . .”

Sorry Jonno, but you are factually mistaken.
Easily sourced, documented and understood for all who care to look into the history of it.
But you aren’t really interested in facts, are you?

Go right on thinking what you believe.
That’s America, right? We can all have our own opinions;
even if those opinions are totally wrong.

But you can’t have your own facts.

I knew we were making progress in this country when I was riding on a city bus some years ago when I was in college and overheard a conversation between two black fellow passengers who were a bit older than me and seemed to be commuting to jobs in the same city where I was going to school. They were discussing the rampant car theft problem in their neighborhood, and this was an exact quote from one of them:

"This problem will never be fixed until we start lynching these hoodlums."

LOL.

If true, we are in real trouble with the current school generation. So few graduate with any skill in reading, math etc.. This keystone has eroded.

There are many cultures, European, Asian and African that are based in the extended family, not the nuclear family and have produced emotionally healthy, well-adjusted children for many millennia.

Actually the problem has nothing to do with color and everything to do with race. Most Africans simply can’t seem to handle the civilized world. It isn’t just a problem in the U.S. It is as bad or worse over most of Africa. A trillion in aid has been dumped into the dark hole of Africa in an attempt to teach Africans to take care of themselves using western science and ingenuity and it has failed miserably. Likewise, they also mostly fail in the U.S., the land of opportunity and even affirmative action favoritism. The majority of them are simply too far to the left side of the bell IQ curve.
