tl;dr push niggers into white suburbs to fuck up whitey who lives there, also need mo money fo dem programs!
yeah no thanks. that's literally the exact same approach that you retards have been implementing for almost 50 years now.
You know those giant, gentrified condos are largely popping up inside of cities and inside of poor neighborhoods, right? There's fuckall onerous zoning regulations out in the cultural mecca of shopping malls and chain restaurants; it's inside the cities, pushing out white and black working class further into the suburbs already. Bussing programs got the axe early on into their life-span, and charters usually open up right inside of cities.
People with cash move into the places with the best schools, which blocks out all people without cash from getting their kids out of shithole schools. The only people that get bussed opt into it (in this model, at least; forced bussing/integration is dubious), meaning the parents are likely to be invested in the behavior of their kids - and the schools are able to discipline them. This can also work for white kids born in shit neighborhoods as much as it can blackie. The system as-is benefits people with exorbitant capital already built-up -- not "I worked hard so my kids can go to a good school," more "I am from the upper middle class and don't want my kids to interact with the working class at all."
EITC has been demonized its entire existence because it's not literal cash welfare or easily embezzled into gubmint programs, and it benefits anyone that makes fuckall directly and lets them choose what they do for themselves.
but yeah, the alternative of bitch on the internet and wish for a mythical ethnostate is much much better - or rolling over to jamal's BBC ushering in a control economy because "none of these other alternatives will work, we just need to ship them to liberia, that's realistic" was the counterargument. I'm drawing from Sowell and Thomas here.
True - I like some of the ideas you brought up in and of themselves (not zoning or bussing though, which would hurt affluent white areas instead of helping blacks...this is why white flight happened from cities in the 60s-70s), and they could help the bible/rust belt towns you're talking about. However, they still wouldn't close the black-white achievement gap.
Are you worried about closing the white-asian gap, or the white-jewish gap? Probably not, because you feel like you've got a fair shake. You're probably mad at places where you feel like you don't. I'm not really concerned with 'closing' the gap so much as just getting rid of the barriers that are clear and obvious, like the design of the damn welfare system. Get rid of these barriers, make the country as close to 'equality of opportunity' for everyone as you can, and then let the chips fall where they may. Demographics will never have fully equal achievement stats - break apart 'white' into what european demographics you can and it's myriad as well. But the concern is moreso that you just give people the chance to fail on their own, regardless of who they are, as should be the American spirit. Rather than the current idea of "yassss upper middle class, let me protect your vested interests and manipulation of the system until I die"
Affluent white areas that pop up only because they abuse government regulations - I don't like 'em. I don't have a problem with them in suburbs, but they've been chewing into poor neighborhoods for a while now, largely thanks to the retardation that is rent control mixed in with zoning. White flight from cities had part to do with that, part to do with the insane violence rates. 2000-2010, these poor neighborhoods (of all demographics) had flattened rates of violence thanks to better policing and declining rates on the whole, but fell captive to NIMBYs and progressives. Now, luxury apartments aimed at out-of-town tech workers and chinese real estate have been popping up costing 3-4x the average rent for the area all in the span of the same 2-3 years, all under the flag of the same 1-2 capital funds. I don't quite like that.
