Since Asians make more than whites, does that mean they are discriminating against whites?
more race-baiting crap from the NAALCP and Jessie "blackmail" Jackson
I won life's lottery.
I was the son of an irish small town doctor who kicked my ass and made me get good grades and become a decent human being.
Wow, go figure. A whole article about what everyone should do about this "problem".....except the blacks themselves. Not a word about the failings of a culture.
"Income should not be a significant determining factor whether someone should have an opportunity to go to college," Shelton said.
In my experience, it largely is not a factor. My wife is an inner city (Los Angeles) public high-school teacher.
Kids who have a half-decent GPA can get into many colleges with tons of financial aid. Problem is, these kids can't STAY there. They drop out frequently.
Paradoxically, some very fine soldiers have also come from her classroom.
Draw your own conclusions.
So shouldn't we discontinue affirmative action, since it is obviously a failure? lol
Your father was clearly a white supremacist b@stard...
"If your parents own their own home they can leave it to you when they pass on or they can use the equity to help you with a down payment on yours."
Gee, I thought the liberals viewed that as wrong. They want to tax the hell out of inheritences. What am I missing? It seems the liberals are harming minorities' chances at success!
How about an article detailing "self-imposed cultural separatism", where it is shown that groups who teach their children to reject learning and understanding the capitalist society that they live in tend to be unhappy and poor.
What a load! Taking summary statistics and telling us the solution is to give away more money.
Several points jump out of this article.
1. Hispanics have lower levels of college degrees than blacks, yet their income is higher. Guess we should be discouraging those college degrees.
2. Asians have higher levels of college degrees than whites, yet have higher levels of poverty. Again, looks like we should be discouraging people from going to college.
Bottom line, if I look at my selected statistics I come to the conclusion that education is bad, so we should save taxpayer money and not fund education.
That is why statistics are so fun, you can make them say anything you want.
Hey blacks, quit having babies without fathers, quit killing one another, Quit dispraportionate crime you do.
Try in school. Raise your kids, quit doing crack, and get the hell off welfare as a livelyhood and maybe the disparaties will disappear.
Repeat after me, Professor: Correlation is not causation. Correlation is not causation. Correlation is not causation.
If there is no direct discrimination based on race, then it is hard to see how race "matters indirectly." In other words, in the absence of racial discrimination, other factors must account for the observed income disparities. The article hints at one possible explanation:
Thirty percent of white adults had at least a bachelor's degree in 2005, while 17 percent of black adults and 12 percent of Hispanic adults had degrees.
Correlation does not equal causation.
EVERY year my son and daughter were going to college, I had to help fill out scholarship/grant forms for their respective colleges. There were not scholarships or grants because I made too much money. There were no Pell Grants because I and my children were white. I know of no black, hispanic or otherwise minority who could pass even the most basic requirements for college who couldn't some way get an out and out grant that paid for their schooling...When is the blame and complaining going to stop?//
Wonder whose fault this is:

The only things that he comes close to hating are muslims and Bill Clinton!
"Race"? I would say employment and financial responsibility effects income and the ability to purchase a home.
Gee, you mean being one of seven half-siblings born to a crack mother and spending half your adult life in prison, between siring seven children from seven different women, is not conducive to high earnings and domestic stability?
Knock me over with a feather. I guess I'll have to completely revise what I've been telling kids about how to get ahead.
(No, all blacks aren't like my example above -- only a small minority of them, thank God. But who's pulling down the averages in this study?)

LOL... Can the whites get reparations?
