...Obama spoke passionately about the importance of education to the African-American community in a commencement address Friday...
Back [when the school was founded], people were hungry to learn."
But Obama said too much of the black community has lost that desire.

You know, I’ve spent a lot of time working with a lot of different folks, including a lot of black, hard-working people in the South. IQ tests aren’t the only measure of intelligence, and there are a lot of factors that go into making someone a success. I’ve also worked with Ivy League educated men who couldn’t lead their dicks to the bathroom. The truth is that the Black community is being corrupted with too many giveaways and people like Al Sharpton.
“The main difference between black people and white people is...their skin color...which is trivial.”
There are cultural differences (such as perceiving education as “white”) that have played no small part in the marginalization of blacks; these cannot be ignored. The poverty industry has simply grown too large (and employs far too many whites) to make any attempt to fix it. There is no biological difference in brains here; the difference is what is done with them. As an increasing number of whites fall into the same habits, it will be more difficult to ascribe any racial significance to them.
For decades the car thieves and unwed mothers in my town were white.
I agree....I think many black women are interested in getting out of the cultural rot of that sub culture....otoh, they often cannot see how that ought to affect their religious and political positions.
We need more Star Parkers.
Really...every IQ test, at what age were they given, before or after cultural indoctrination.
that black people, on average, have the lowest IQs, score the lowest on tests, and perform the worst academically.
Did this include black students from India and Africa? Where what I stated didn't happen?
"Blacks" aren't "Blacks" Many black immigrants laugh at how stupid "African-Americans" are, just like the Japanese laugh at how stupid Americans are.
Nobody disputes this truth
Right, just like "Global Warming" huh?
Your "studies" are based on flawed data and designed to reach the racist conclusion of white supremacy.
How about a study comparing the children of black conservatives, and adopted black children of white parents, to the IQs of white dropouts, and see what that average tells you.
Do you understand the word “average” as applied to the general population?
These two set the standard.
You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink
You can put some kids in school but you can’t make them think
