I think one of the biggest problems among blacks teenagers is that it is considered "uncool" to be intelligent or to study....so why bother. It's more of problem of attitude than it is ability.

Yes...this has been a problem among a certain segment of the white community as well...and they also turn out to be losers in the end.

All we have to do is look at black rap videos to see that being stupid is considered cool. This anti-social attitude is nothing new.
