The poverty cycle IS a part of the continuum of oppression for black people. Economic advancement has been denying and outright destroyed for these folks ever since being forcefully brought to the US as slaves.
> White flight is another problem. Peer effects (black kids bullying black kids who "act white") is a problem. These are not racial oppression.
White flight is entirely about anti-blackness and racial oppression. Peer effects are also entirely about anti-blackness and racial oppression. These have been studied in such great detail.
> Prejudice and oppression (from teachers, employers, police) is still a problem, but it's not the big one. And pretending it is will encourage people to fight black poverty in ways that probably won't actually work very well.
This is total nonsense and is entirely divorced from the reality of racial oppression in the United States, both in the past and today.
