African American Poverty

This data shows us that there are about 8,420,300 more white families living in poverty than African American families. Though I will concede that for the population that African American make up there is large amount poverty among single parent households. Out of this data, there are 25 in which there are white impoverished families than African Americans. This proves that poverty is not just a race issue and should be treated more as an American issue. If white American’s are born with white privilege why are there in total more impoverished white American than that of other races. If white privilege were to be true, then why are there so many improvised white people. Those 17,981,400 white families living in poverty should have all the advantages
White Privilege is not causing these African American fathers to leave their children’s mother, that is up to the individual person. Then we get to graduating high school. While in poverty-stricken districts it hard to get a good high school level education because, “the public school system is largely funded by local property taxes, which are based on the value of real estate.” (Gale). Education systems with these impoverished communities are bound to be worse, due to lack of adequate funding theses high schools are abounded to produce uneducated children. Some argue that White people have an advantage when it comes to the school system, because of their skin color, but poverty stricken white communities are not going to have the same education as those with money regardless of the so-called white privilege. This is a failing of how we fund education because so will get a better education not because of their skin color but because of the amount of wealth they control.

Affirmative action is an executive order by John F. Kennedy from the civil right era, that allows for African Americans and other historical discrimination against minorities to get into colleges over White and Asian students while having lesser test scores on tests such as the SAT and ACT. During the civil rights era, this was need due to Jim Crow laws and segregation. But in modern times it unnecessary and quite offensive. In our modern times, Jim Crow laws and segregation are illegal, making it so there is no need for such a system. Affirmative action is racist toward both whites and minorities. Affirmative action decimates against White and Asian people, “Affirmative action may be unconstitutional under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment” (NCSL), this is due to it giving an unfair advantage to minorities based on skin color. Not only does affirmative action decimate, it is offensive to minorities. By lowering the standards for minorities basically telling them that they are not able to get the scores that white people while “these students will only strive to meet the lower
