It’s the IQ thing. Known for a long, long time, but we’re not supposed to talk about it.

These poor achievement numbers in math and science are due to a variety of issues, but absolutely are not due to lack of ability or any problem with or differences in innate intelligence. Many of the brightest people I’ve every known or worked with happen to be black. IMHO, the problem is with culture and what we are emphasizing to our children in our pop culture, and it’s not just affecting blacks. We’ve seen test scores drop in general over the past several decades (e.g. SAT scores). Actually, SAT scores actually track household income, and this is probably due to a greater emphasis on academic achievement in those households.

IQ is also a product of culture and what you are exposed to as a child, as it is very difficult to design IQ tests that don’t in some way reflect what you already know and/or have been exposed to, even if they purport to be designed to do that.

Prof. Shockley was crucified on the cross for multiculturalism. Lyndon Johnson was the promoter of this belief as to societal characteristics. He wanted to give the USA a Tower of Babel and we can now experience a similar collapse.

Yeah, we can talk about it but the 'it' we are supposed to talk about is the result of poverty, thug culture, no dads, not enough good food, slavery, racism and multiple other things that are mostly BS. It matters not that this issue, the gap, the so called 'education gap' never seems to change.
