If we don't believe some cultures are better than other cultures in certain ways, then we're essentially saying that all values are relative. And in that case, there's no such thing as progress anyway.
The good thing is culture is independent of race, and cultures can and do change all the time. Pretending that the cultures that are doing poorly relative to others are hapless victims with no control over their fate does nobody any good. Of course we have to recognize the external pressures on cultures (and individuals). But that doesn't negate internal responsibility. We can acknowledge one while encouraging the other.

In your opinion, what's the single largest factor in 'black culture' not 'taking responsibility for their children' and not 'prioritizing education'?
If there is no singular dominating factor, what is it intrinsically about 'black culture' that is so inferior to Asian or White culture that prevents some fromm proper assimilation?
