WHY YOUNG BLACK MALES ARE NOT GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL
spectator.org ^ | August 23, 2010 | Janice Shaw Crouse

Posted on 01/11/2014 6:09:14 AM PST by ilovesarah2012

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.

- “Certain” ethnic groups were born and are still born today with a brain that is only 85% of the size of other humans.

- You may not think that is “fair” or “PC” to say that - but it is alleged to be because others had a much higher intake of meat proteins early in their evolving history.

- Note that has not changed over time and neither have alleged “modern humans” from certain regions changed in their pigmentation over time and/or since they allegedly migrated North.

- Some of those individuals excel in intelligence and abilities - but they are the exception. Both you and I know of some that do; they reject the tribal victimhood and violence/knockout culture of “….maybe a little blow.”

- We might think of a certain surgeon or a certain retired military officer as being among the exceptional.

- Next I shall explain the Islamics: They are insane. Period.

No we won’t.

What is being laid in place is a destruction of Anerican ideals, traditions and its very foundation.

Powers that are getting a toehold are making sure we will no longer be the Superpower and that the strength of America and her citizens are being extinguished and exterminated.

No. They serve the god of Darkness.

I'm sorry, all this talk by conservatives about "bad" schools causing poor academic performance by black students is bilge. Poor students cause poor schools. Read Robert Weissbergs's "Poor Students, Not Poor Schools" to get the lowdown.

The basic, unavoidable fact is the black underclass drags down the rest of the black students and competent blacks elsewhere. The children of the black underclass are low IQed/academics- disinterested persons who will never be salvaged. Those children are your knockout game thugs, chronic adult criminals and baby mamas who are grandmothers before they're thirty.

The cost to society in dollar terms of the black underclass is in the hundreds of billions if not close to a trillion annually. Time to eradicate the black underclass through sterilization. Or like another poster said, 100 years from now we'll be talking about the same problem.

Whether or not LBJ intended this aspect of it (he may have simply viewed himself as a general do gooder) his legacy really cemented it by doling the funds out in a manner that encouraged an entitlement rather than a gratitude mentality. Faceless bureaucrats. If you never see who cut you that check, you lose the human connection. They don’t see the tax payers who, even if they all concurred on this means of bestowing benefits so as to skirt the “coercion” issue, surely would want to see those benefits used for what is wise, as a hand up and not a handout.

I almost don’t want to mention it because it has my eyes rolling at near warp speed to think of it, but I don’t believe any Obamaphone is ever turned back off! Not if someone keeps using it. I have one from a time when I had fallen on hard times, and I used it like I was supposed to, being high minded about such things. But I kept it around for convenience’ sake (their website says I am supposed to keep it), sometimes buying my own supplemental time in months of heavy usage. After screaming their heads off in email to me in December to recertify (which I didn’t) they renewed the phone minutes in January ANYHOW.

PUT a human face back on charity, even if it is done via welfare which has its own moral pitfalls. Have some social worker, even if a dweeb, go see these folks. That would go a long way towards curbing abuse, IMHO.

Sowell is negative on rednecks, which this here positive redneck greatly begs to differ from. In general, negative arguments are weak, and this is not the zenith of Sowell’s works by any means.

Let's add another facet to this discussion.

Lack of religious education has borne fruit, hasn't it!

Most of us had parochial school or Sunday School or catechism or confirmation instruction over periods of time when we grew up.

How many black yutes enjoy this opportunity or privilege today? How many even want to....or how many of them have a parent/parents who do NOT insist on at least SOME religious training? I'd love to see the statistics.

It's now do your own thing, baby....and if it feels good, do it, even if it's harmful to yourself and/or others.

Why SHOULDN'T you do "your own thing"! There's no "restrictive" religious authority....or religious "don'ts" anymore, is there!

Even replicas of the Ten Commandments have been expunged from public view across the fruited plain!

Then we have a president, the supposed moral leader of the country, who doesn't go to church anymore, not even for photo ops, not even on Christmas Eve or Christmas...... it might interfere with his golf outings.

Too many ministers, priests and rabbis as a whole today are mute on the lack of religiosity, religious education and religious discipline among youth, especially black males.

All too many of them appear to be assiduously making their houses of worship and religious education facilities more "progressive", "modern" and into jivey social centers.....with less instruction and less "thou shalt not" in order to (hopefully) lure in the young people....

(....and it ain't working, McGee).

But, all things aren’t equal, and The Bell Curve destroys the notion that ethnic groups have equal mean IQs. Asians come out slightly ahead, and blacks come out significantly behind. Plus, it’s genetic. There is overwhelming evidence.

The whole thing about “not acting white” is their way of saying “not acting female.”

Perhaps the enormous percentage of black males who engage in homosexual activity "on the down low" figures in here somewhere.

Now that AIDS isn't a killer, my young cousin said, a good way to protect yourself is never to sleep with a girl that has ever slept with a black guy.

Everybody has a religion. The question is only, towards what is it. Making it be towards God (in earnest, not just for show, which is really making it towards your circle of society) is beneficial in many a way.

Where’s the brotherly love there? They don’t want one of their own to succeed? They want everyone in the dredges with them? Selfish!

Where are the men to lead these young men and teach them about being men?! Don’t answer that, I am certain I already the answer, so sad.

Where’s the incentive to get an education so they can get jobs and make it through this life when they can drop into the hoods local acorn office and get setup with every kind of welfare imaginable.

Not working or going to school leaves them plenty of time to hang with their homies. Idle hands are the devils workshop. You can figure the rest out.

WHY YOUNG BLACK MALES ARE NOT GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL

Fifty years ago the dem libs were screaming that integration would solve this issue. Now that school systems have been dragged down to the lowest common denominator, what is the solution proposed by the dem lib "elite"?

Incidentally, since Hussein 0bama has created an economy where one-third of the population is now out of the work force (92+ million) and not counted as unemployed, what does the future hold for blacks or anyone else?

“Where’s the brotherly love there?”

I read a study of police officers. A black officer was much more likely (they gave a percent, but I don’t recall) to shoot a black male than a white officer. The whites were terrified of being labeled a racist and thought their careers would be over. But a black officer knows from experience how dangerous black males are and considered shooting one self-defense.
