It’s not an “achievement gap” it’s an “ambition gap.”

Black culture denigrates studying as not “keepin’ it real.” Frankly if doing this helps to rid this from black culture, than maybe it isn’t such a bad thing to do after all. While I don’t necessarily agree with segregating the students, something does need to be done about trying address this attitude problem amongst many of the black population.

It’s an effort gap.

It’s a peer pressure gap.

Any black student working hard is ridiculed as trying to be white.

This is a perfect example of an assertion, for purely ideological reasons, of something obviously untrue. Like the equality of the races, the equivalence of the sexes, the unimportance of heredity, the normalcy of homosexuality, and the insignificance of physical or mental handicap, a whole series of monstrous absurdities on which liberalism depends to modify by destroying education and many other aspects of American culture.
