which is stupid because neither groups are white, nor identify as white. In fact one of those groups go out of their way to hate whites
then you need to revise your "57%" estimate

I am from Germany, I traveled to Venezuela many times, the majority of the population looked Caucasian, in fact the people that you call "mestizo" looked 100% percent European, I think you consider a person "mestizo" for only having 10% percent of other race which it does not make sense because they are still European, I mean Europeans are mixed as well, we have 10%/5% from other countries so I do not understand the point of view that you are saying, clearly white is a majority in Venezuelans.
White Venezuelans - 43.6%
Mestizo Venezuelans - 51.6%
Black Venezuelans - 3.5%
Indigenous Venezuelans - 2.5%
If you combine the population that would pass for "white" in the united states, you get 95.2%

You seem to be making a lot of abstract moralistic statements without outlining what the cause is, or what the solution would be.In my view such terms like "personal responsibility" are heavily codified with assumptions and baggage. The fact is that these communities have been denied rights and wealth - what you are basically saying is that they lack enthusiasm to play someone else's game. Implicitly you are denying the validity of black culture, and thereby denying the full personhood of the black community.

Proper funding is one component of education that leads to better academic performance, but it is not the defining metric. You cannot simply assume that more money per student means better performance.
Consider a district that is in decline. In such a district, people move away to go to better school districts. This causes the number of students remaining in the district to decrease. This artificially and temporarily inflates the cost per student since there are fewer students. That happens until teachers get laid off and staffing expenses are lowered to compensate for the lost tax revenue. The point is that one set of metrics alone cannot tell the whole story.
Data shows that top-performing states spend more per student than low-performing states

I can very much imagine a theoretical 2028. 4 years of desantis unpopular Republican policies; replacing the deep state and military with loyal republicans. Replacing the judiciary with ultra loyal republicans. Suppressing votes, supporting citizen militia intimidating the vote, machinery of various states still Republican. Loses the election - declares victory, states won’t certify democrat wins, mass unrest put down by loyal police and loyal military, martial law, political opponents harried - and eventually openly suppressed, non sympathetic media shut down - and is able to maintain grip on power, suppression and law changes continue to be harsher, less transparent and better suppress any non-Republican from winning elections, Republican supporters cheering every one of them.

Must be genes.
Between 1982 and July 2022, 70 out of the 132 mass shootings in the United States were carried out by white shooters. By comparison, the perpetrator was African American in 21 mass shootings, and Latino in 11. When calculated as percentages, this amounts to 53 percent, 16 percent, and eight percent respectively.

It's why poverty doesn't have an effect on black violence. The richest blacks commit more crime than the poorest whites.
The countries with the ten highest crime rates, expressed in per 100,000 people, globally are:
- Venezuela (83.76)
- Papua New Guinea (80.79)
- South Africa (76.86)
- Afghanistan (76.31)
- Honduras (74.54)
- Trinidad and Tobago (71.63)
- Guyana (68.74)
- El Salvador (67.79)

Equal Educational Opportunities Act - Declares it to be the policy of the United States that all children enrolled in public schools are entitled to equal educational opportunity without regard to race, color, sex, or national origin; and that the neighborhood is the appropriate basis for determining public school assignments. States that the purpose of this Act is to authorize concentration of resources under the Emergency School Aid Act on educationally deprived students and to specify appropriate remedies for the orderly removal of the vestiges of the dual school system.
Title I: Assistance - Provides financial assistance for educationally deprived students enrolled in schools with a high proportion of students from low-income families, or transferring from such schools to schools enrolling a lower proportion of students from low-income families. Authorizes grants from State educational agencies to local educational agencies adopting and implementing plans for such students. Sets requirements for State educational agency plans and applications under this section. Authorizes appropriations for payments to States under this section of $500,000,000 for each fiscal year. Provides for judicial review for a State following final action on its plan.

That's just the way of the future whether people like it or not.
LFTRs use liquid-fluoride salts as both a coolant and as a carrier for the thorium and thorium-derived fuels.
LFTRs operate at near atmospheric pressure offering unmatched safety and greatly simplified reactor designs.
In particular, ambient or low reactor operating pressures means no risk of high-pressure atmospheric releases and no need for massive containment structures that can withstand high pressure.
LFTRs high temperatures (650 C) enable greater thermal-to-electric conversion efficiencies and use of more compact power conversion systems.
Use of thorium fuel in a LFTR generates orders-of-magnitude less mining waste and long-lived transuranic waste than existing light-water reactor (LWR) technology.
Thorium is abundant and inexpensive and LFTR’s liquid thorium fuel is easily produced, compared to costly, complex fabrication of solid fuel rods used in legacy water-cooled reactors. [**]

you are still significantly more likely to be murdered by a person of your same "race"Nobody denies this. But when interracial violence does happen, it is almost always in the direction of black-on-white vs the other way around. Yet somehow the narrative is that the people committing the violence are somehow the victim
really ?
what's the goddamned point of telling people a person of darker skin-tone is "25 times more likely" to physically attack a person of lighter skin-tone
unless you're trying to scare them into thinking they are going to be attacked by someone with a darker skin-tone

Autopsy arranged by family shows GRPD officer shot Patrick Lyoya in the back of the headWhy’d you leave out the part where the criminal grabs the officer’s taser and ignores at least five demands to drop the taser before the shooting?
you're kidding, right ?
when you're literally sitting on someone who has their face in the dirt
you can't figure out how to fire a warning shot ?
and if the guy face down in the dirt is hold a taser
you can't figure out how to shoot them in the hand ?
or, even better
pin their arm down and twist the taser out of their hand ?

Are there not 5x as many black on white crimes
Rates of white-on-white and Black-on-Black homicide are similar, at around 80% and 90%
Overall, most homicides in the United States are intraracial, and the rates of white-on-white and Black-on-Black killings are similar, both long term and in individual years.
Between 1980-2008, the U.S. Department of Justice found that 84% of white victims were killed by white offenders and 93% of Black victims were killed by Black offenders. [**]
so,
you are still significantly more likely to be murdered by a person of your same "race"

Almost every high-profile police black killing was justified and/or reasonable based on circumstances. It’s clear that these are just blatant attacks on cops, and recognizing that isn’t boot licking

Look people aren't glorifying the lives of Mike Brown and George Floyd because they want to commemorate their criminal behavior.
not to mention
selling loose cigarettes on the street should not be a death-sentence
failure to signal a turn should not be a death-sentence
who cares how many crimes these people committed
that's completely missing the point
it is not the job of the police to kill people
and they certainly shouldn't ever SHOOT PEOPLE IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD
we're not living in a world where the police are expected to simply kill anyone they see committing a crime
guilty, sure, but not anywhere close to the level that justifies permanent injury or death
even the guilty still have a right to a TRIAL

Okay. Being banned from multiple distinct sites is sufficient to suspect the individual is the problem and not the sites. The individual is the common denominator. Without specifics, that probably the best we can do.
perhaps you're lucky enough to have not been banned from any websites
perhaps you're lucky enough to not have any friends who have been banned from any websites
there is basically zero trial and zero appeals when some unelected, rando, admin drops a ban-hammer
google has banned individuals from gmail and youtube without warning and without any appeal options
paypal has banned individuals from their accounts without warning and without any appeal options
