This has been your answer to literally every substantive suggestion. I suggested releasing prisoners who had extraordinary sentences for minor crimes (read: black men), and you said, "Yes, but that wouldn't cure racism." I suggested that if IQ is correlated with income, we must work right from the cradle to ensure environment wasn't the main factor. You said, "Yes. . . but still racism."
You're not even wrong. Yet right now, black people have the highest acceptance rate in Harvard, by a fair margin, and the lowest test scores. And then. . . whiff. What's it doing? Where's the culture shift? Where's the added value?
