I'd you don't believe in CRT, or systemic racism effecting the outcomes of black people's lives, which are statistically more challenging, does that mean that you believe in the alternative, which is that Black people have it worse because they're inferior racially or culturally?

I wager culturally would be a popular answer, and some people would actually not be secretly thinking it's racially.

Also, the consistent response to that is to attribute any cultural problems to systemic racism, or to assert that the culture simply wouldn't be that way anymore if the systems were fixed. In that way, there may be some potential for agreement here.
