Wide racial gap persists in education testing (even with affluent families)

Another story is of course the ongoing cultural collapse of Western Culture which is increasing anarchy. However, as stated that is another story.

What is it that some long for that they claim western civilization is collapsing? Do they miss empire building? Slavery? Orgies? Blood sport in arena? formal aristocracies? Pagan Gods?

Your observations concur with mine in post 36. The most important factor in education is the home, not the race or socio-economic level of the student.

Are blacks really less intelligent than whites? If so, why?

Inherently, no. Within our society, yes. Since the 60s we have subsidized the stupid to procreate. That drives down the mean, and shifts the low end lower.

The cure is to stop the subsidies, and start penalizing "baby mommas" for squirting out bastards she's entirely incapable of supporting or raising.

No argument there.

Some schools have added more minority teachers, which parents are lobbying for in Westerville. “The overwhelming number of teachers are white; they connect better with white students than minority students,” said Bell, of the parent group.

Wow, race based school hiring.

I noticed that, too. So they're admitting that the kids are racist--unable to connect with white teachers. Yet somehow this racism isn't a problem--it's OTHER people's racism.

We miss governance which is not always nice it sometimes requires the use of the lash, the whip and the knout. Empire building(which will do as a general expression), growth, expansion all resulting in aliveness with the accompanying existential state that we are the bright ones,the happy ones the glorious ones we are those who give the laws.

We are talking about averages. It has long been true that Black and White IQs differ by about a standard deviation. However, there is more overlap in the two distributions (bell curves) than there is difference.

never forget that Asian outperform whites by a significant amount, and that, more than anything else will make the 21rst century an Asian ascendry

sure. And, like the Romans and the Soviets, the greater you become, the more you absorb and diverse you become until you fall from the bloat.

Agreed. Success carries the seeds of its own destruction.(Do not forget the Brits, the greatest empire of all time.)

>> Thomas Carlyle noticed this in the 1840’s; “a race singularily deficient in self governance.”

I’ve followed Carlyle’s writings for years and never seen this one - do you have a reference for it?

And for those among us who think the internet is not left-biased and highly censored, try to find this quote by Frederick Douglass:

‘Everybody has asked the question ... “What shall we do with the Negro?” I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing with us! Your doing with us has already played the mischief with us. Do nothing with us! If the apples will not remain on the tree of their own strength, if they are worm-eaten at their core, if they are early ripe and disposed to fall, let them fall! I am not for tying them or fastening them on the tree in any way, except by nature’s plan, and if they will not stay there, let them fall. And if the Negro cannot stand on his own legs, let him fall also. All I ask is, give him a chance to stand on his own legs! Let him alone!’
