He could say the same thing about generations of poor whites living here in the Ozarks.

A study comparing black male students from two-parent upper middle class families in the black bourgeois bastion of Prince George’s Co to white male students from poor families in West Virginia showed that the black male students had lower scores, higher drop-out rates and higher crime rates than the poorer white males.

Can those poor whites use affirmative action laws and policies?
Do they get extra weight added to their applications because they are white?

It’s all about aspirations.
I can’t imagine what it would be like to be Black in America and have the baggage of the public safety net and everyone telling me I am owed something. How could you overcome that?

What kind of punishment should these missing fathers face . . . ? Kudos to the prof for actually daring to be pro-family.

I’m not familiar with all the ins and outs of where affirmative action pays off - but there are alot people taking advantage of HUD/EBT/disability/unemployment and God knows what else.
I do believe whites get Obamaphones too

This is nothing new for Lino - one of the nation's most notable conservative law school professors. He's been a fixture at UT Law School since the 1960s. He had to withdraw his nomination by Reagan for the Fifth Circuit because of his writings on desegregation through forced busing.
He's made similar comments for decades.

I don’t know. Looking at Zimbabwe, the new South Africa, etc, I’d say it’s not only America, for one thing.

UT Professor: Black (& Latino) Students Failing Because They Are Raised by Poor Single Women AND PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Closer to the truth. The kids spend more daylight hours in school than they do with their moms. Guess where those teachers were taught, PROFESSOR?
Sheesh.

A study comparing black male students from two-parent upper middle class families in the black bourgeois bastion of Prince Georges Co to white male students from poor families in West Virginia showed that the black male students had lower scores, higher drop-out rates and higher crime rates than the poorer white males. There was a mention in "The Bell Curve" as well, that blacks in the upper 10% of income had lower SAT scores than whites in the bottom 10%.

The professor is following the standard intellectual ideology that poor black performance on standard tests are due to environmental factors. Nonsense! The ultimate causal factors are neurologically based: low intelligence and poor impulse control.
Neuroscience is the area where people should look for solutions to poor black academic and life performance.

This is a rare. An academic telling a hard truth. Usually political correctness obscures the truth. Political correctness has become customary in this country with most public discussions. Politically correct speakers are spewing nonsense and if they actually believe what they say, they are dangerous fools.
