@davidbengtssonasgarali9391 I can see your point, friend, but to add a rebuttal, "Education and community funding are associated with less crime" is a causal fallacy i.e. it may sound correct but it is not true in reality. Cities like Baltimore have some of the highest levels of government funding in public schools, welfare, community housing, food stamps, and other forms of benefits yet these communities have some of the highest levels of poverty, crime, and illiteracy especially among us black people. Conversely, look at black communities in the past all the way back in the 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s. There were low rates of welfare and public funding but literacy rates were higher, crime rates were lower, welfare dependency was lower, single parent households and out-of-wedlock births were lower and income levels were also rising. The current issues facing black Americans have less to do with "Government signing us free checks" and more to do with our culture. Asians have historically never received much of the recompenses or funding that we have and yet their demographic does better socioeconomically than ours. That says a lot.
