    In Illinois, a quarter of the funding is from the state, the rest is from local taxes. Do blacks not have a voice in the tax structures of Chicago?

    Illinois has a flat income tax, so how does the city decide what schools get more money? Is it because of sales tax by zip code?

    I agree that it would be helpful to see that data.

    But the key qualifier here is that the school is underfunded, not that it's predominantly Black.

    Okay, it's property tax. So you're saying Black people have the ability to say what schools the money from property taxes in Chicago go to? And if they do, they underfund their own schools because they have more important priorities?

    Or more specifically, underfunded schools that are predominantly Asian.

    Poor tax codes,, lack of school choice, bad cultural practices, bad government policies and the like are worse than racism, that’s new.

    Explain the funding levels where blacks control the funding priorities.

    It's in culture. Lots of proclivities and inclinations may be biological in nature.

    If it's where blacks control the funding priorities, how can it be racism?

    Congrats to @Paladin on managing to have a worse take on this than the lady who said the Holocaust wasn't about racism.

    Wow, and those poor tax codes, bad schools, bad government policies and the like overly affect black people because why?

    Also can you explain what on Earth these "bad cultural practices" are?

    Sad that Chicago is a by-word for gang violence and crime, when it should also be known as a fount of success and prosperity, equally and especially for African Americans. :obama:

    Clearly Whoopi should have just described it as a shithole filled with bad people.

    1. Because they continue to vote against their own interests because Democrats have somehow convinced a lot of them that they care about them. Also, the break down of the family unit and poverty are contributing factors.

    2. I've already explained this twice before it's growing up in poor neighborhoods, usually without a positive male role model and ending up joining gangs and selling drugs which results in cycles that perpetuate themselves because your homie told you to go ahead and nut up in that girl, you ain't gotta take care of the kid if she gets pregnant. Those bad cultural practices. It's not just blacks that do this though.

    Awesome, a testable hypothesis! Would you agree that if this is correct then we would expect to see better outcomes in Republican controlled areas?

    However you are arguing that black people in the same situations are more likely to do it than others?

    So whoopi took one for the team to remind people to watch the view now that Megan is gone.

    I think rightforge and the right need to thank her for trying to steal attention from their strange sexual perversion with green M&Ms. @Paladin those are not anal beads so if you could please throw yours out when you are done licking them, that would be great.

    1. No I don’t think blacks do better under Republican controlled areas, but they might. I think they should seek out third party options, everyone should.
    2. I think the answers you seek don’t come down to systemic racism, though I don’t deny that racism does play a factor, I think it comes down to poverty, class and social status.

    I don't understand the question. You're saying African Americans control Chicago Board of Education?

    Well, let's see, did Whoopi have the leader of the Jewish anti-defamation league on The View to accept her apology?
    Yes!

    Did Joe Rogan have Anthony Fouci on to set his ass straight?
    Nope!
