Another platitude bot studiously ignoring the elephant in room.

Sure. Anecdotal "lived experience" always trumps data and evidence. Straight outta grievance studies.
You mean like your anecdotal "lived experience" that suggests the problem is black people being allergic to education? Straight outta conservative fantasy land.
Sure.

Once the US looked up to astronauts, engineers, and scientists as it heroes,
now it heaps adulation and martyrdom upon drugged up repeat violent criminals resisting arrest.

"Leading the way". To where exactly?
A more equitable and harmonious society. A majority of 15 year olds are non-white. They will still be non-white when they turn 18.
"People are sick and tired." Of what exactly? Besides such double-speak banalities?
Sick of being maimed, killed, and denied an equal shot at the American dream due to systemic discrimination.
Well, then they should stop shooting and robbing each other.
It would be a good start.
The leading cause of death among young black men between the ages of 15 and 34 is homicide.
An incredible 51% for black males between the ages of 15 to 19.
Total homicides deaths for black in 2017 were 5626.
Not by whites, not by hispanics, not by asians, not by the police, but at the hands of other young black men.
US CDC | Death: Leading causes for 2017 [PDF; Page 34]
So rather, the most dangerous place for young black men is the urban inner city jungle among their "brothers".
Chicago
As previously noted, the major cities have been under Democrat control for decades.
According to the
Washi Post database, in 2017, 224 blacks in total were shot and killed by police.
This is
(224/5626) x 100 = 4%
In other words, in 2017, an estimated 96% of black homicides were by civilians.
One should also take into account the probability of interaction with police due to alleged criminal action.
US FBI | Unified Crime Report - 2017
Whites constitute about 72% of the US population, blacks constitute about 14%.
Black males, of all ages, thus constitute about 7% of the population.
From the UCR Table, arrests for males
Homicide. Whites: 44.2%; Blacks: 53.1%
Robbery. Whites: 43.6%; Blacks: 54.3%
Aggravated Assault. Whites 62.1%; Blacks: 33.5%
Violent Crime. Whites: 58.5%; Blacks: 37.5%
Weapons. Whites: 53.7%; Blacks: 43.9%
So there are fields in which US blacks do excel and have a disproportionate representation.

"Systemic discrimination"?
The US Civil Rights Act and the US Voting Rights Act were enacted in the 1960's. Nearly six decades ago.
Affirmative Action, so-called, is ubiquitous in the US and has been for decades.
Guess what. Be it international or local, one can't help a culture or a community that can't be arsed to help itself.
No matter how many programs a govt enacts and no matter how many trillions of dollars a govt spends.
May the gods preserve and defend me from self-righteous altruists; I can defend myself from my enemies and my friends.
