A new report from the Schott Foundation reveals that only 47 percent of black male students earn a high school diploma on time. Ironically, this report came out shortly after Judge Vaughn Walker ruled regarding Proposition 8 in California. If the statements on which Judge Walker based his ruling are "facts," how do we explain what is happening educationally to boys in the black community where a large majority are growing up without fathers?
Nancy Pearcey, in an article on American Thinker, identified certain "facts that Judge Walker claims are now established by the 'evidence' presented in his courtroom." Those "facts" presumably will be deemed as "truth" far beyond the courtroom. Among those "facts," the following three are especially relevant for young black boys' futures:
• "Gender no longer forms an essential part of marriage."
• "The gender of a child's parent is not a factor in a child's adjustment."
• "Having both a male and a female parent does not increase the likelihood that a child will be well-adjusted."
Those three general false principles that Judge Walker supposedly established in his arguments in favor of so-called "same-sex marriage" are equally faulty when applied to the more than 40 percent of today's children who are born to single mothers. They are doubly relevant when the majority of those children are black.
Here are some irrefutable facts that Judge Walker and his ilk need to ponder.

Present day Democrats buy slaves with taxpayers' money.
I haven’t studied some of these men too in depth, usually I don’t have to scratch very deep to find the socialists. Once I find that and I know they’re not worth while emulating, I focus my attention elsewhere.
That’s my reasoning, or perhaps I’m just ADHD :P
Of course that’s a good..... SQUIRREL!
There was a time when in some states it was actually illegal to teach blacks to read and write.
Ain’t irony wonderful?
It would be wonderful it it weren’t 1) expensive and 2) lost on the self-failing youts.
“Yo homie! What’s “Irony?” Is that what I do whens I sees a po po?? I runny.....”
WHY YOUNG BLACK MALES ARE NOT GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL.
Drugs ? any data on the percentage?.
It literally is racist to acknowledge, but a much higher percentage of blacks are losers. They lack self control, intelligence and work ethic (lazy).
I grew up believing it was just culture and the way our society (USA) had treated blacks. Then I got an expanded world view. It started with a friend of mine from Peru. He talked about how horribly lazy blacks were in his country. It stunned me. Is it genetic? Looking around the world where the evil White Americans and Europeans have had little impact and have actually tried to help (Haiti, Africa, etc) backs up the view that there is a problem with a vast majority of blacks and it has ZERO to do with non-blacks.
I hate this reality. I don’t want to believe that we are all this different on a genetic scale, but what else really explains it?
What can really be done to help people of Black ancestry? It is not a 100% reality. I have known smart, self-disciplined blacks through the years. Many I consider smarter and more disciplined than myself. Unfortunately, they are a tiny percentage of the black population.
I really hate thinking abortionist like Margaret Sanger could have the only solution. (reduce the gene pool of angry violent and dumb blacks to improve the overall race) Abortion is evil. So, what else can be done to help blacks as a hole to catch up with others? (thus, also helping to reduce their burden on the rest of society) Science and DNA manipulation? Education, EBT cards, welfare and affirmative action don’t work in most cases.
It is very frustrating and heartbreaking.
“...scratches his own arms with scissors ...”
That’s a kid that needs help. Sounds like he’s one step away from cutting.
Like crabs in a bucket...

One almost escapes and the others haul him back? Or, one yells, “Melted Butter!” and they all run around screaming?
Because graduating isn’t “Keepin’ ir real, youknowwhutI’msayin’?”
There is a reason hunger is painful. When you undo nature, you undo everything.
I say welfare and the “Great Society” did more to kill the Black family than even slavery.
I agree with you, but I don’t think I have made any generalizations. Stating that the mean IQ is lower is not a generalization, it is a fact, although it is true only statistically, the mean only applying to large-enough groups of randomly selected people. A generalization would be something like “all black men are unintelligent”, but, (1) I didn’t say that, and (2) it is wrong, e.g. Thomas Sowell serving as a single strong counterexample, and there are of course many others. But facts about individual members does not alter, or refute, the statistical situation. Even if one penny comes up heads ten times in a row, if you toss a million pennies, including that one, you’re going to get almost exactly 500,000 heads. That one penny makes no significant difference to the overall outcome.
Yes, I took my statistics too...but fair enough, maybe I misunderstood your full position. Sometimes that happens with short posts!
That said, I’m more curious as to *why* the stats show what they do...because I believe poor IQ relative to DNA (race) is a (cultural) result over time, it’s not caused by DNA. As a society moves through time I believe it’s values, being positive or negative, will inspire a natural selection like mechanism. So I’m saying I think this is more of a result of cultural differences over time, which can be changed...the stats don’t have to be static. The relative IQ of a race can change, although it requires cultural change over time.
Ditto. Both sides of the political spectrum offer false solutions to a problem that is nature caused. Liberals are still going off about "white racism" and "white privilege" holding back the poor and "oppressed" minorities.
Conservatives think that putting these people in "good" schools and showing them the merits of free-market capitalism will convert the class of people who are quite happy to fleece their fellow Americans so they can sit around, get fat, and crank out imbecile after imbecile. Nothing but sterilization will work.
Well, we'll just get of that nasty old racist "white privilege", and that will fix everything, don't you know. Yes, the libs have concocted yet another edifice of bs to explain why one of their favored pet groups doesn't perform as well as other groups. Since, like "institutional racism", "white privilege" is a bogus bundle of nonsense that can't be proved or disproved, they have yet another screwball theory to add to their gigantic list of screwball theories they can use in their ongoing war against America.
Sterilizing any person applying for welfare would fix a lot of the problems. Sterilizing any male convicted of rape or other violent crimes would help as well.
did anyone say racism yet? because no matter what the question, the answer is racism..
Good analysis.
After watching the “parenting” of the cussing 3 year-old on all the news shows last week, it’s easy for me to see why black boys are failing in school.
