Racism and capitalism, mostly.

Those things lead to poor education for the public, which makes all subsequent decisions stupider.

Then, the stupid people try to make as much short term money as possible for themselves.

Simultaneously, anything that benefits the minorities (eg: black folks) is disliked. Mass transit, for example.
