The author thinks blacks are too dumb to get admitted to college based on their grades and SAT scores.

There’s a reason the MCAT, GMAT and LSAT are being dropped.

Hint - not white people.

The Root is an absolute hack job of a journal. Does he even realize what a condemnation of the black intellect his article is???

Maybe they should study harder and apply to colleges and get degrees. Just saying. There are plenty of scholarships and “free” government loans out there.
Nothing is stopping anyone, except themselves and their goals. Nothing. In fact, I would bet it is easier for a black guy to get accepted into colleges than a white guy these days.

Sounds kind of like a threat.

Like something they would need to force into existence or artificially bring about through chaotic social stunts in order to continue to prove their moral superiority (which of course is the opposite, i.e., moral inferiority, deficiency).

Most of them that attend public schools probably ARE too dumb. Public schools give them passing grades even when they don’t show up or do any work. Same thing when they get into college. All in the name of equitable outcomes or some such nonsense.

Evidently, the Yahoo clowns, being from the left, have the standard leftist racist tendencies.

Sorry, but I’ve trained black jet pilots and sponsored blacks for PhDs in EE...all have done quite well and none need liberal “you need us to succeed” quotas.

Surprisingly, none were liberal.

Methinks there’s a lesson there.

What happened to that smug three word response to being shut out of college?

Learn To Code.
Or learn some other lucrative (legal!!) way to make money that is likely to still be in demand five years from now.
There is nothing wrong with taking retail positions just for the work experience. Just to remain used to working for and with other people. There is no shame in flipping burgers.
This could lead to management positions.

Black boys dream about being a rap star or an NBA star. Too bad they didn't dream of being an accountant...an X-Ray tech...or a plumber. They'd be pretty much guaranteed a comfortable middle class life.

I'm not sure what black girls dream of.

This is nonsense...

Black women are getting degrees at a higher rate than just about anyone...

Black men, not so much.

Black men and women do NOT need affirmative action to succeed.

"...if the Supreme Court bans affirmative action..."

This about to become a non-problem...

With the communists talking & planning to increase the SCOTUS by 10-to-13 new justices, all such issues will melt away...

From what I understand, the average IQ of an African American is 70.
