Title: "WHY YOUNG BLACK MALES ARE NOT GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL."
Topic: A recently released study by the Schott Foundation for Public Education
Here is the Freeper thread: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3110625/posts

They cant figure out how to keep there pants from falling down. I dont blame them. I wouldnt go to school if my pants kept falling down.

Two choices- prison or EBT for life!

They were better off before Brown v. Board of Education.

Plus, theres the unmentionable IQ issue.
___
- Certain ethnic groups were born and are still born today with a brain that is only 85% of the size of other humans.
- You may not think that is fair or PC to say that - but it is alleged to be because others had a much higher intake of meat proteins early in their evolving history.
- Note that has not changed over time and neither have alleged modern humans from certain regions changed in their pigmentation over time and/or since they allegedly migrated North.
- Some of those individuals excel in intelligence and abilities - but they are the exception. Both you and I know of some that do; they reject the tribal victimhood and violence/knockout culture of
.maybe a little blow.
- We might think of a certain surgeon or a certain retired military officer as being among the exceptional.
- Next I shall explain the Islamics: They are insane. Period.

Anecdotal evidence of smart black men is unimportant when millions of kids are at issue. I could add to your list Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell, both of whom I think are brilliant. But, that simply doesnt matter to the question of an entire population having a mean IQ that is many points below 100, and the subject at hand is academic achievement. Good parenting can no more make millions of 70-IQ kids graduate high school than it can make millions of 100-IQ kids master calculus.
___
But, all things arent equal, and The Bell Curve destroys the notion that ethnic groups have equal mean IQs. Asians come out slightly ahead, and blacks come out significantly behind. Plus, its genetic. There is overwhelming evidence.

It literally is racist to acknowledge, but a much higher percentage of blacks are losers. They lack self control, intelligence and work ethic (lazy).
I grew up believing it was just culture and the way our society (USA) had treated blacks. Then I got an expanded world view. It started with a friend of mine from Peru. He talked about how horribly lazy blacks were in his country. It stunned me. Is it genetic? Looking around the world where the evil White Americans and Europeans have had little impact and have actually tried to help (Haiti, Africa, etc) backs up the view that there is a problem with a vast majority of blacks and it has ZERO to do with non-blacks.
I hate this reality. I dont want to believe that we are all this different on a genetic scale, but what else really explains it?
What can really be done to help people of Black ancestry? It is not a 100% reality. I have known smart, self-disciplined blacks through the years. Many I consider smarter and more disciplined than myself. Unfortunately, they are a tiny percentage of the black population.
I really hate thinking abortionist like Margaret Sanger could have the only solution. (reduce the gene pool of angry violent and dumb blacks to improve the overall race) Abortion is evil. So, what else can be done to help blacks as a hole to catch up with others? (thus, also helping to reduce their burden on the rest of society) Science and DNA manipulation? Education, EBT cards, welfare and affirmative action dont work in most cases.
It is very frustrating and heartbreaking.

(20,868 posts)My best friend is a black male. Recently, he was accused of stealing $10 from this man he's been helping out being he's been sick. He was really pissed about it and I told him I'd be pissed as hell too, esp. after waiting on this guy and his wife for the past month or so.
So, I advised him to tell said man to f off. What he told him was that if he was going to steal something from him, it would not have been $10 to put gas in the man's car, he'd have stolen the whole car instead!
As for those that value their racist attitudes, well they can all F off as far as I'm concerned.

(25,532 posts)Graduating high school...is that related to a graduated cylinder?
CountAllVotes
(20,868 posts)It irritates me something fierce to see "journalistic" articles with numerous typographical/grammatical errors in them.
To me, such errors greatly degrade the credibility of the author.
If a person doesn't know the basic stuff you learn up to about the 8th grade (high school is beyond them), they should find something else to do with themselves (like f off).

I don't care if it is marginally 'acceptable'.

(23,973 posts)... the proper used was "graduated from..."
The Old Way: Was Graduated From Lets travel back in time. In the early 1900s, conventional wisdom said that a school did the act of graduating students. Therefore, the proper way to use graduated was to say that Johnny was graduated from high school. That passive wording, was graduated from, was considered standard English. - See more at: http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/is-graduated-college-wrong#sthash.DK5OPP9D.dpuf
Totally OT, but I find the whole notion of "graduating" from preschool, elementary school, or middle school compleyely inane and irritating. Such ceremonies should be saved for high school and college.

(1,965 posts)I think those "certain groups" would be freepers and all other assorted teabags, and that the 85% estimation may be a tad generous.

(65,616 posts)To them, most humans (those that don't look and talk just like them) are nothing more than animals. Of course, they decide these factors on completely surface issues. The closest you will ever get to a deep thought from a FR/RWing idiot is superficial sloganeering...they are truly hollow people on the inside.
People ask, why is the RWing mind so corrupt and malignant, I think it is due to their critical thinking apparatus being non functional for so long that their brain no longer tries to use it. IOW, they are drooling zombies waiting for their que from Foxnews or Free Republic. Until then they just shamble around aimlessly.
