Currently, they are being told that the reason for a black person's lack of success is because of a grand racist conspiracy to keep blacks down. This is an unproductive viewpoint. It's better to focus on studying hard, working hard, and being diligent about making the best use of the opportunities you see, rather than going into a depressed funk, taking drugs, and dropping out of trying.
Additionally, the current affirmative-action insanity must end. To get "good numbers", top colleges are taking in people who are not prepared to succeed in that environment, and who will then fail and drop out -- people who WOULD have been successful in a lower-tier college which better matched their actual aptitudes. And the lower-tier colleges, to make THEIR numbers, are taking in people who are unqualified for THEM.
I didn’t forget our discussion. I’ve been working on a reply to you but haven’t had the time to finish it yet.
