You can say whatever you want, but I grew up in inner-city schools in Texas with lots of minority kids, and there is most certainly a cultural difference between the white kids in their white families and the minority kids in their minority families.
Any culture that glorifies violence, crime, drug use, and sees prison time as a badge of honor will never succeed no matter how many policies or programs are put in place to nullify the absence of traditional values. They will always fail.
Maybe you think it's evil white racists huddling secretively around the corner from every earnest and good-hearted black person, but that sentiment will never change the deteriorating social structure in black homes. Too many people care about the dozen or so police officers that kill black men on usually justified reasons, but no one seems to give a shit about the hundreds of young black men killed by other young black men every single weekend across the nation. Somehow still whites are to blame when a young black man pulls the trigger.

There's also a really unfortunate side effect of the "white people evil" narrative, which is that black kids who do good in school are often accused of "acting white" by their peers. Coleman Hughes talks about it all the time. For a lot of black kids there's active social pressure to not give a shit about school, even if they want to. I remember being that age and how much sway other people's opinions of me had. Again I lay most of the blame at the framing of mainstream media and institutions scaring the shit out of black youth and lying to them about the nature of life in america.
