“Failed liberal policies, not racism, are mostly responsible for the condition in which poor African-Americans find themselves.”
You do understand that it wasn’t until 1964 that segregation was deemed unjust in the United States of America.  Did you know that the educational development of many Afro Americans was prevented by policies of the United States Government?  Did you know that 52 years ago the Government finally decided to give all of its citizens legal rights?  Did you know that even though the laws were passed there were still many states refusing to adhere to the new laws?  The claim that you make is absolutely ridiculous.  Do liberal policies have a negative impact on the Afro American community?  Yes, they do, but your assertion that they have had a worse effect than racism is preposterous. It is because of racism that the liberal policies were enacted.  Racism is the catalyst for those policies.
