It starts with parents taking responsibility for their actions and teaching kids the same. It will not get better until we/they have strong leadership who can end this vicious circle of victimization. Sadly these people do not realize they are being led to down the garden path by the people who enable them.
Blacks only graduation at U of T...WTF!

I agree but you have failed to notice the reason why black families are broken in the first place.
I'm one step ahead of you.
Phil and CM go about calling me a racist because I point out what you are pointing out, that broken families and a pernicious antisocial culture are a big part of the problem.
But whereas you use that as an excuse for the majority culture to shrug, I recognize that this situation was created by centuries of attacks on black families and black culture. It's the ongoing effect of historic persecution.
I mean, in this case they literally get their own graduation, seems pretty sweet to me.
Also, if you wanted to give me a nickname to make me feel bad you shouldn't have picked one that sounds so badass.
The idea that with each birth you are a clean slate is just plain false. Or more to the point if this were a race being born black or white would determine where your starting line is. Being white in Canada gives you a head start. Regardless of who you are at birth you are still born into the same world which is not free of racism and other types of discrimination.
Somebody mentioned it starts with parenting..... I'd agree but I'd go on to say that it ends when society improves. Much like the nature vs nurture type arguments the correct answer is that it is a combination. A black kid born to good stable parents in a rough neighbourhood still has a long road ahead of them.
I've seen it in affluent white families with what appears to be good parents but the kid is currently a drug addled suicidal basketcase. Maybe behind closed doors they are awful parents OR maybe there's more to how a kid turns out than just his or her parents.

He called me stormfront again! I mean, if the top University in the country has so many blacks that they can have their own graduation, they must be doing alright.
Wait having the grad had nothing to do with the number of black grads.

Don't worry, I know. Using arguments that make sense is a waste when interacting with fuji. You gotta have a bit of fun. It's like playing with a handicapped puppy.
Slavery was abolished long ago. THE NEW DEAL caused the thug life, deadbeat dads and welfare queens of today.
The civil rights act was not supposed to magically make blacks equal. It made it illegal to institutionally stop the black guy from making himself equal. But how he gets there is up to him, and if he fails, it's because he sucks, not cuz of the institution
THE NEW DEAL however, introduced the welfare state, and that's what fucked him. It was a new, more insidious form of slavery as it takes on a friendly face, and inclines them to depend on it rather than revolt against it

So after centuries of actively, aggressively making blacks unequal, of taking the income from their labor and giving it to white people, of actively damaging and destroying their families and their communities, we shrug and say sorry about doing that to you, but not my problem?
Not sure I buy that.
We broke it. We owe fixing it.
Speak for yourself fuji,...I didn't break it,...nor did my parents break it.
But I do understand that some will always blame others for their self induced failures.
Mind you,...your brand of racism does point to you having the attitude required to making others unequal.
The white slave driver owed fixing it to his black slave. However they are both already dead. We can't do anything about that, but death is the great equalizer.
The white CEO descendant of the white slave driver owes nothing to black thug descendant of the black slave, because the family of the black thug had 152 years of freedom and multiple generations to get their act together. Neither the CEO nor the thug had anything personally to do with slavery. The black thug descendant could very well have a black CEO cousin with the same ancestor.
