Interestingly enough....

Black conservatives like Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell have often decried that "affirmative action" is used by whites namely liberals to avoid fixing the issues with public education school systems that are in charge of so many black and brown kids.

THE ISSUES:

- Underfunding

- Disproportionate discipline

WHO IS TO BLAME?

- Conservative legislatures who push funding to rural areas over heavily populated liberal cities

- Democratic big city administrators beholden to teachers unions

- Liberal colleges who "focus on diversity at expense of all else"
