I can remember bringing this up a couple of months ago, and the righties pooh poohed it. Now, Trump an his minions are claiming that the plight of the African-Americans, in the inner city, is Obama's, and the Democrats fault. The truth is white flight, and how Republican politicians like Tommy Thompson and Scott Walker protect the white suburban enclaves from people of color.

LA is a lot like Milwaukee when talking about the same demographics. It's the same for most major cities. Look at the education as one significant component between the "city" and the "suburbs" Do you think it's equal? Each school gets the same amount of money when that kid shows up for class.
Michelle King, the new Superintendent of LAUSD, recently touted the fact that the graduation rate for 2016 was 75%. Let me say that again, "Ms King if fucking happy with a 75% high school graduation rate. My local public high school has a 90% acceptance rate to 4 year college. They both get the same allotment from the State of California. Are we equal?
Well, I can answer a bit on the money issue. My local community approved educational bonds that adds $1500 to my property tax bill. Can the inner city do the same? If we did, then I guess more money fixes all problems. Wouldn't you agree?
The inner city is usually the domain of the Democratic Party. How do you fix it? More money?
