It is particularly hard if it is true - as I believe - that
the gap has less and less to do with racism and more and
more to do with the habits and attitudes we inculcate among
our children.
I can almost feel the resistance from black Americans to the
notion that there is something cultural about the
underachievement of black students. Almost as palpable is
the easy conclusion on the part of many whites (and I>m not
talking about racists) that if black people would just
buckle down like other disadvantaged groups have done, many
of their problems would evaporate.
And yet - how hard this is! - the buckle-down crowd may be
closer to the mark.
That is not to say that the academic gap (as much as four
years by the time of high school graduation) is merely the
aggregate result of individual black laziness. It isn>t.
But as Abigail and Stephan Thernstrom make clear in their
new book, "No Excuses: Closing the Racial Gap in Learning,"
a significant source of the gap is in the attitudes toward
academic achievement that are prevalent in black America,
even among the economically successful, college-trained
middle class.
For instance, there is the notion that academic success is
something almost unnatural - or at least not a particularly
high priority-for black people. Black students and their
parents understand the importance of an academic credential,
but often primarily as a ticket to college and good careers.
But if that>s what it is, then one might as well purchase
the ticket at the lowest possible cost: avoidance of
challenging courses and performance that is "good enough"
rather than the commitment to excellence that eats into
social time.
And the differences begin early. One study found that the
home of the average white kindergartner had 93 books, the
average black less than half as many.
The point isn>t that the white children score higher because
they read all those books, but that the differential
presence of books reflects a differential interest and
investment in learning. (Asian-American parents, for
instance, may have fewer books but a stronger commitment to
learning.)
The Thernstroms' examination of the reasons for the gap both
in effort and achievement - including disproportionate
TV-watching, uneven public expenditures, disparate teacher
quality and an interesting look at the differences between
voluntary and involuntary (slave-descendant) immigrants -
occupies the bulk of their book.
But in some ways, their most important message is in the
introduction. Economic success - even a decent job - will
depend increasingly on solid academic skills. But "too few
black and Hispanic youngsters - particularly those in urban
public schools - have acquired the skills to choose their
own path."
Does giving voice to this message amount to "giving racists
a stick to beat us with"? It>s an interesting question.
Here>s a better one: How do we best use our intellectual,
political and moral capital - priming our children for
success, or merely supplying them with excuses for failure? |

First of all, I am not a white supremacist. I made the claim
that negroes are inferior, not the article, dumbass. Did
you notice that I put my initials under it? I>ve got other
evidence, but you don>t want to discuss evidence, only
malign me. It makes no difference whether the negroes in
question are from America or elsewhere. All negro
bloodlines can be traced to Africa. As I stated, "Whether
it>s cultural or genetic, the fact remains, negroes are
inferior." I never claimed the article mentioned genetics
but that topic is always open for discussion.
I find it odd that DAFNz would prefer to be thought of as
culturally inept, but intellectually equal to whites. If
DAFNz are so damn smart why don>t they have paradise in
Africa or other places infested with DAFNz that are run by
DAFNz for the benefit of DAFNz? On the other hand, DAFNz
could take the genetic defect route and get accommodations
due to genetic intellectual inferiority and all the benefits
that flow thereof, yet DAFNz would rather have us believe
that they are intellectually equal, but somehow unable to
run their own affairs or succeed at anything without a
handout from whitey.
If racists, as you suggest, are holding DAFNz down by their
poor opinion of them, a direct correlation, you claim
(without citation, mind you), then that would make us
racists a very powerful group of people, would it not? Be
afraid, little boy, be very afraid. The big bad racist
boogy man is comming to get you. OOOgaa Boogaaa BOO! I>m
gonna make you fail social studies. BOO! Geometry too!

I count 44 recent news paper articles published within the

three months.
I challenge anyone to find one forth as many articles that
show that DAFNz are the academic equal or intellectual equal
of either whites, asians, or hispanics. I>ll accept
newspaper, magazine and professional journal articles. If

Here you go Bryon, take the challenge boy. For somebody as
knowledgable on DAFNz as you, you should have those 11
articles in no time flat.
Ooogaa Boogaaaa BOO!

[quote]It makes no difference whether the negroes in
question are from America or elsewhere. All negro
bloodlines can be traced to Africa. As I stated,
"Whether
it>s cultural or genetic, the fact remains, negroes are
inferior." I never claimed the article mentioned
genetics
but that topic is always open for discussion.
You made the claim to genetics as a possible cause of
inferiority in your
orginal statement, quoted at the top of this post -- you
can>t deny that.
And the article makes no mention of ANYTHING but issues in
America, and it
makes no claim of inferiority either. There is no support
in that article
for your statement, period.
If racists, as you suggest, are holding DAFNz down by
their
poor opinion of them, a direct correlation, you claim
(without citation, mind you), then that would make us
racists a very powerful group of people, would it not?
Be
afraid, little boy, be very afraid. The big bad racist
boogy man is comming to get you. OOOgaa Boogaaa BOO!
I>m
gonna make you fail social studies. BOO! Geometry too!
You and your "little boy" crap. You make a lot of
assumptions based on
nothing. Sad and silly.

more to do with the habits and attitudes we inculcate among

No.

Klansmen certainly have values. You may not like them, they may be

once again showing your bias and unwillingness and/or inability to

fact is, I don>t belong to or condone the Klan.
However, if one wants to speak in terms of sociological theory,
wherever there are problems with those of the negroid race, which is
pretty much anywhere they exist, one can>t help but notice that the
inescapable constant is of course, the presence of negroes. |
