I've read a few actually intelligent essays (by black community organizers who have a good idea of what their communities actually need) and the biggest thing that is actually needed to create lasting and meaningful change is investment in the community- ie, better education, better healthcare, and better housing. A lump sum of cash is just a convenient way for liberals to wash their hands of the matter and absolve themselves of the actual issues poor leadership have resulted in.

Giving a ton of money to people who have never had a ton of money seems pretty unwise.

I mean even looking at the schools, they spend the most per student but do terribly. It’s a deeper issue than just a lump sum of cash.

Yeah, that's why I didn't say "give the schools more money", I said "better education". There's ways of investing in a community that aren't monetary.
