a performance gap between African-Americans and whites on a 20-question test administered before Mr. Obama’s nomination all but disappeared

Notice they don't say whether the blacks did better or the whites did worse.

“On the initial test last summer, whites on average correctly answered about 12 of 20 questions, compared with about 8.5 correct answers for blacks, Dr. Friedman said. But on the tests administered immediately after Mr. Obama’s nomination acceptance speech, and just after his election victory, black performance improved, rendering the white-black gap “statistically nonsignificant,” he said.”

Even so, I call B*S. What will they make up next?

I tell you, it’s a show about NOTHING!

If true, this is so bad-so wrong on so many levels.
People-regardless of color or race should not look
to others for their success! Self reliance! Spunk!
Wit! Fortitude! These things should come from within
-because you are endowed by your Creator! My goodness
I get so everlasting tired of folk looking to someone
else as their savior! Yik!

/rant off/

First test was taken in a normal classroom environment. Second test was taken in a classroom decorated like the Black Panther headquarters.
