Re: Test scores.
I can tell you the exact reason why test scores are so low. Black students are afraid to look “too smart” because you’re going to be accused of “acting white” so they dumb themselves down. It’s amazing that some VERY smart blacks in this country have made it through despite that stupid self-defeating attitude that keeps many black people poor, ignorant and violent.
I’ve lived in black schools. I’ve faced the self-imposed stereotypes that were supposed to be placed on me. I do agree with you, it’s time to start cutting back the money and try to encourage a majority of people to start educating themselves and get themselves out of their hellholes they’ve made for themselves with their self-imposed intellectual and behavioral crippling.
Out of wedlock births at 68% and failing urban schools have something to do with lower test scores as well.
