This is on purpose. Racism deliberately enables a narrative that allows police to murder black Americans.

Step 1: deny jobs and education

Step 2: leverage racist biases among police

Step 3: criminalize drugs

“Look at all this crime! America is so unsafe. We need military equipment and chokeholds so we can go crush skulls.”

How exactly the education in the US is denied based on race? I cannot talk about rural schools, but city schools are very well funded, pretty much all large cities have decent libraries and tons of free extracurricular stuff for kids of all ages.

There are some very big picture items to read up on (including redlining, you can google this) and some individual level items (head to twitter or somewhere that you can read individual accounts of black students' experiences with white educators).

Evidence suggests that teachers are less likely to identify bright minority students for placement in accelerated programs. Evidence suggests that teachers are more likely to treat minority students who "act out" as problem students and place them in remedial programs rather than finding solutions.
