My kids have participated in academic quiz contests with other schools, some having 98% black students. I watched (while feeling multiple emotions of amazement, pity, and embarrassment) as junior high age kids at these schools could not answer questions like, How many ounces in a pound? Which state is nearest to Cuba? What president came after Washington? ---- you get the picture. These kids are chosen as the smartest in their schools. This is what the NAACP should be working on, not the flag nonsense.

The expression of intelligence in black schools is seen by students as "acting white".

That is a real factor. I would like to see the networks and CSPAN, etc. come in with their cameras and cover things like these quiz bowls. Then we could see the breakaway to Sharpton or Jackson to get an explanation for this lack of learning. By the way, these schools are virtually totally administered and controlled by black educators and black school boards. The public school system and the parents of these kids have failed them, but we know who they like to blame the failures on.
