Here is the answer!

The “Tyranny of Low Expectations” that was force fed to us by “Progressive Academics”.

Going to school and getting good grades is too white.

The word ‘ systematic’ is killing me. I hear this all the time when arguing with liberals. when someone uses this word they are saying their failure is someone else’s fault. I’m tired of people not trying and then blaming others or the ‘system’

Here is what one commentator posted at the article, which I have never heard of. I don't know what to make of it, but here it is.

Whitey O'Bama
"Calling somebody a 'Neanderthal' has long been used as a pejorative term. However, studies of human remains reveal the Neanderthals had larger brains than all other ancient humans; thus, Neanderthals had more complex and advanced societies. The only humans to have never interbred with ancient Neanderthals were sub-Saharan Africans. All the rest of us today - Asians, Europeans, Native Americans, Pacific Islanders - have some genetic link to the large-brained Neanderthals. This may explain why blacks lack the same learning skills as other races."

It was society’s fault in 1948 as it is society’s fault today.

Affirmative action has caused a lot of dropouts.
I have friends who teach at USC and they have seen in the past some come in and they are smart, but are put in with people more qualified to be there.

End result is that unless they are given good gift grades they can not compete and should have been left to graduate from a state college.

So affirmative action has caused many of those that would have graduated from a state college to not graduate at all.
How is that helping people?

If you're gonna be a rapper, basketball player or pimp you don't need no education.

These kids resent every second they are forced to spend in class.

Middle class black families send their kids to college, to the same extent as other middle class families, I’d bet. It’s the single parent kids that are suffering in every way. There’s nothing like a real dad to make you get your rear in gear and make something of yourself.

Isn’t the average Black IQ something like 70?

They think it’s ‘’white’ to study and be sucessful, so they don’t. They CHOOSE to not succeed, and they meet their goals. Whose fault is that really?

Healthy living and learning environments begin at home. If not, education and other social influences can’t fill the gap. Home, everyone, home is where it starts!

‘...climates that often don’t foster healthy living and learning environments for black males,” wrote John H. Jackson...’

As always, abdication of any variety of personal responsibilty for minorities.

“Simply stated, while most will say black lives matter and are important, the four-year graduation results in this report indicate that most states and localities operate at best, and have created at worse, climates that often don’t foster healthy living and learning environments for black males,”

Simply stated, look at the disintegration of the black nuclear family and not the states and localities. Then look at who the dropouts run with. There was a study I read back in college that argued peer groups were as big, if not bigger factor than the usual suspects of educational policies, class size etc. If you run with people who drop out of school and don’t value education, chances are they’re going to bring you down sooner or later.
