Black Americans are much more poorer than white Americans, despite the illiegalization of racial discrimination over 40 years ago.  Conversely, Asian Americans, who often started from equally humble backgrounds, are comparitively wealthy.  This mystery is compounded by the lack of Christian and capitalist values of many Asian Americans' upbringings.  So why are black Americans still poor?

The fact that liberals are beholden to teachers unions makes it impossible for schools to get rid of substandard teachers.  An exceptional teacher in an underserved area may have the opportunity to transfer from that area into a better one, while a poor teacher is able to muddle through year after year without doing their students any good.  This slavish dedication to corrupt union hiring policies clearly has a negative effect on urban black populations which limits their later earnings.  This is one reason why voucher programs have been incredibly popular in Washington DC, a city with a major black population.
