May as well...we do it for everything else.
It's be racist not to, eh?
John U. Ogbu did a study of black kid in Shaker Heights (Ohio) schools.
Here’s his book titled “Black American Students in An Affluent Suburb: A Study of Academic Disengagement”.

Yes, academic disengagement. There is a cultural bias against doing too well academically. A lot of black kids born in America do not think it is cool to achieve in school. But their counterparts who migrate here from Africa tend to do well.
Another book I just read is “A Hope in the Unseen: An American Odyssey from the Inner City to the Ivy League.”

Obama Adm To Provide Teleprompters For Students

I don't. I've taught at a major four-year university, had many friends in the admissions department, and the students I teach now have college admissions officers tell them the same thing (which they will still confirm to me to this day). It may not be true at every little college everywhere... but if the average high school student has heard of the college, they do it...
And, as it happens, student loan debt is the ONLY debt that cannot be discharged in bankruptcy proceedings.
And now Obama wants to make people with outstanding student loans indentured slaves to the federal government.
Reparations at last!
Because then you couldn't give them "scholarships" paid for by overcharging non-minority kids.
Many black college students come from inner city high schools which may provide good training at keeping your nose clean, street smarts and hand-to-hand combat, but really don’t give the young people the study skills they need to survive in college.
What makes it worse for black students (as opposed to inner city white teens) is affirmative action, where those brightest young people from the inner city are encouraged and recruited to go to the most competitive schools.
Many of the students which might be able to get by in a state school with their native intelligence and picking things up, but the African American students are pushed forward and heavily recruited to attend CMU or MIT instead of Penn State or Clarion State, where they would stand a lot better chance of success. Its not their fault they had a crappy high school where they didn’t learn how to study, but there is no real way for them to make up the deficiencies in such a short period.
Affirmative action jobs were given as a stop gap until Blacks could bring their scores,, grades, and eligibility requirements up to whites.
We will have affirmative action jobs forever because it will never happen.
We will have quota’s forever because it is the only way blacks can compete. They know it and we know it.
Eric holder should try to work up the courage to argue that with a white man.
This is a cultural issue I believe and not a genetic one.
Having worked in the inner city for years, I see how black kids think education is white thing and they are black and proud..
We need a GPRS (grade-point redistribution system).
Just give them all a 4.0 GPA in college and see if it makes a difference how they do on the job interview once they get out.
I agree. I would like to see a study on black kids raised by white parents and see how they did in school. I believe there are plenty of smart black kids. They have to be raised right, though. Look at Condi Rice. I think she’s brilliant. And Charles Payne on Fox Business. I love that guy.
Reality is hard to argue away.
That's what I was thinking of reading the posts, and what Charles Murray would write if he were a freeper.
This is most likely due to the fact that the schools these blacks attend either score grades differently(in other words not as harshly)than the schools that whites/asians attend.
Hey, at least Pumpsie made it to the show. Obama should be cleaning shower shoes in the bus league.
“Hey, at least Pumpsie made it to the show. Obama should be cleaning shower shoes in the bus league.”
True.
I have to say the situation was the same at Allegheny College up the road from Grove City in the late 70’s.
Although the school does take some Fed. money (grants, stuff like that), it has no athletic scholarships, so admittance is pretty much based on academic ability. I can’t recall one black member of my class (probably about 15) dropping out or graduating late.
