except this is a problem that liberals should care about! Liberals SHOULD care that so many poor black kids are getting left behind because of the wasted potential. There are so many bright kids who get killed by gunfire or have kids when they are just kids themselves, so they don't fulfill their potential.

But that has nothing to do with race, but with culture. I have worked with and went to school with black kids from the middle class, from Nigeria and Ghana and Jamaica and Dominica, among other places. And those kids were successful and driven and did not get in trouble.
