simply retarded and racist stereotyping there. desertdude tried to do the same thing wherein he attempts to appropriate education as a "white" thing. it's not. the issue is fundamentally much deeper than a cheap and false stereotype that you bring up.
Buck, I am not appropriating education as a "white" thing. I think everyone who wants to be educated and have opportunities should be able to do that. I have previously spoken of my desire to end the practice of funding education with local property taxes because I think it disproportionately deprives minorities and poor people from education and opportunity. But I am not the black community. The idea that being smart or doing well in school is "acting white" and therefore objectionable is profoundly disturbing and sad to me. But it's not my idea.
I live in Detroit.so you guys don;t think that the de facto segregation we still face, a remnant of actual segregation and institutional racism, has vanished already? because the demographic maps say it hasn't.
blue dots are black people, red dots are white people.
detroit:
it pretty much looks the same in every major city. our history didn't vanish overnight, historically disadvantaged areas still face the same problems they have faced for decades and centuries.
And what is the student to teacher ratio? Detroit has a hard time keeping teachers around, I used to date a Spanish teacher who taught near midtown and she left shortly after her car got broken into in the school parking lot. Sad week for me...
That the lower scoring group is less able.
Uncontrolled variables. If one black child and one white child were raised by the same mother and father, and had similar habits, it would make for a comparison.
Given that the most intelligent thing you could think to use your education for was a job at Subway, perhaps intelligence isn't your area of expertise.
obama called it slander. you tried to frame it as a truth.
I did no such thing. Don't worry, I can hold your hand again.
so when did you call that racist stereotype "slander" (or something similar) or say that is was untrue?
Damn, Travis is on fire today.
If this is just you being spiteful at me, fine.
Their not ready for the race?
Even tests like the LSAT, which are given to college graduates have the same discrepancy.
I called black people accusing other black people of "acting white" a "problem" that was part of what's causing a gulf in educational achievement. I obviously was not saying "Any black person who gets educated is "acting white"!"
No, Buck, see the post immediately before that second post and the context is perfectly clear. Again, let me hold your hand and connect these dots for you since you're so incapable:
see, you assert it as a statement of fact rather than addressing it as the false and racist stereotype it is.
I asserted that that is one the cultural problems. Doing well in school is "acting white."
but that's a false and racist stereotype perpetuated by racists and white supremacists who want to appropriate education as a white thing when it is not.
