HS diplomas lead to jobs that get you to the level of home ownership in the Chicago or Atlanta suburbs? Seems a tad unrealistic.

Plus you have all sorts of issues with socialization and such. The expectation is to throw off much of one's upbringing, how people around you dress and speak, even before considering how people act. Were it only that easy.
I didn't say anything about home ownership.  I am suggesting a course of action that can better an individual's condition.  And yes, obviously there are barriers.

That is why it doesn't happen often enough.  

There are individuals who do this, and they deserve credit IMHO for overcoming those barriers.  I sponsored a substantial scholarship at our Cincy HS and about a third or more of the winners were from difficult backgrounds.  All but one graduated college (except the recent awardees of course).

I'll start from the time I moved out of my parents' house. There were a lot in that neighborhood.

Rolling Meadows condo: 20+
Schaumburg townhome: 20+
Madison apartment: I don't think any, but I wasn't there much.
Palatine Condo: 10+
Vernon Hills townhome: 50+
Gurnee SF home: 1
Palatine townhome: 4

Punta Gorda: Unknown yet.
I'm super familiar with the area but wikipedia tells me Palantine as of 2010 was 76.9 percent white and 2.7 percent black. Vernon Hills 82 percent white and 1.7 percent black. Punta Gorda 94.6 percent white and 3.17 percent black.

Until Gurnee, which you didn't mention, I did not live in the nicer parts of town.

I'm still curious about what "BLM" wants, aside from the chants and mantras.  Defund the police?  I don't even know what that means in practical terms.

Reduce their budget to spend the funds on something else? 

The police force here is 60% black which is about the constitution of the city.  Does that need to change?
Go read their website and manifesto.  Among things you will find is the destruction of the nuclear ( traditional) family, and an economic system of shared ownership ( called Marxism historically). 
I firmly believe the overwhelming majority of citizens in this country/ including African Americans- would oppose many of their foundational beliefs.  But that’s not how it is sold to the public by the media.

There is the official BLM, and then there is the "BLM" in quotes which folks chant when the protest.  I think the two are different.

It's a catchy phrase adopted by a lot of folks who don't pay attention to official BLM.

At any rate, I still don't know what they want.

A positive story about two Korean Americans and a restaurant they hope to open here soon.  I'm always impressed with people who follow their dreams against difficulties and persevere.

That’s what many think and what the media sells.  And of course it is true.  But see my link above for what they truly want and believe, unabashedly.

I want cops to quite killing anybody who is not a mortal threat.

I also want world peace and an end to hunger and climate change.

I want a lot of things.
