The more we say this disparity is due to white racism, the more the problem will grow.
A video showcasing a school in Indiana has gone viral. It highlights a large, beautiful, clean, safe-looking high school called “Carmel High.”
Several Carmel students take us on a tour of their lovely high school, which includes a “fresh market” cafeteria, massive pool, a state of the art gym, in-house radio station, and a yearbook facility that makes the New York Times look mediocre. ...
So, why all the sudden fuss about this particular school? Well, the kicker to the story is that this school manages to be big, beautiful, and successful even though they only spend $9,629 per student. And honestly, it looks as if they spend twice that amount. ...
Think about this: in liberal-run D.C., the average cost per student is a whopping $22,800. Yet even so, students attending these schools are struggling to learn the basics.
Essentially, D.C. schools are churning out functioning illiterates.
But how can that happen with such a large per-student budgets? Where is the money going? These are good questions and parents should demand answers.
Having better schools by spending half as much money as urban schools is racist!
Baltimore spends $21k/student and at 23 schools, not one kid is proficient in math.

It's not the money.
Do you really think the money is spent productively, or to hire administrators with huge salaries? Baltimore mayor Catherine Pugh wrote worthless "books" to be given to school children.
Scott Adams gives up on black people.

Of course it's mostly spent on EduAdmins, the Assistant Vice Superintendent of Diversity and Inclusion type stuff. And Conferences in Hawaii, etc.

Wealthy Bay Area town grapples with 'attack on whiteness' controversy
A planning commissioner in Los Gatos was censured by the town council for writing an email to a state agency that included what some say is racist language toward white people ...
In November, Clark wrote an email to the state Department of Housing and Community Development expressing concern over a referendum that was filed by a community group last summer, which opposes the construction of new housing units in the coming years.
"The referendum was fully paid for and passed by a few rich white anti-housing men in our town," Clark, who is white, wrote in her email.
Equestrian Helmets
This is just more stupidity. You can get a helmet of any size

“I finally freaking feel like myself, and now society is asking me to change,” Ms. Robbins, 27, of Alliston, Ontario, said as she choked back tears. “I just want to be able to ride.”
Black equestrians have long felt virtually invisible in a sport that remains overwhelmingly white. For those with natural hair, which for many is a declaration of pride and Black identity, finding a helmet that fits properly can be nearly impossible, creating yet another barrier to full inclusion. Some are now lobbying for change, mindful that horseback riding is among the leading causes of sports-related traumatic brain injury. The helmet companies say there isn’t a simple fix.

This is just more stupidity. You can get a helmet of any size. They are bringing this up as an "issue" because there's plenty of people that ride motorcycles and bikes, but few people that ride horses, so they are depending on the ignorance of their audience.
All of our media is just stupid clickbait stupidity. The only reason you noticed this, was because how ridiculous it is. Our "news" at this point is just trolling assholes.
To give a sense of just how ridiculous this has gotten, I’ve compiled 50 examples of things that have been declared “racist” over the past few years. You’ll notice in some of these the notion that mere cultural differences are evidence of racism, as well as the implication that because something was once used for racist ends or at the center of a racist incident, it is somehow permanently contaminated. The brilliant John McWhorter cites two real-world examples of such strained usage of the term “racism”: the rarity of the black oboist, as if this demonstrates anything more than the fact that most black Americans just don’t have much interest in playing the oboe; and declaring the filibuster racist, with Strom Thurmond’s 24-hour speech against a 1957 Civil Rights bill often cited as an example of the practice being employed to further racism (never mind that Obama readily supported use of the filibuster).
