Shitty formatting Crime rates and poor family structure was suppose to be separated my fault . Anyways , No one is saying the solution is to ignore the actual problem or blame someone . You fuck asses assume telling it like it is , is blaming , please fuck off . Also , blacks greatly valued education during slavery . Why do you think so many learned to read and write privately ? Blacks greatly valued education during slavery even though education to slaves was discouraged , and hell even made illegal in southern states during the time . The slaves who learned to read write is a case by case , individual scenario , considering that being a slave your chances of getting education was pretty much nonexistent but please keep citing insignificant examples . And even after the fact slavery was over , you think institutions and colleges would admit blacks to their schools and colleges ? Ever heard of Brown v . Board of Education ? because of that the president of the United States during the time had to have National guards go to a school so the African American students would be allowed to enter the school grounds .
