It's amazing how man people watch movies with the primes "white teacher saves/teaches ghetto kids to be superstars" and actually think that is reality.

It's also a myth that these schools are super-dangerous with kids ready to kill their teachers. Most just don't take school seriously and want to hang out. You will RARELY run into dangerous psychopaths but they are usually quickly run out. The biggest problem is that their culture doesn't take education seriously and teachers and administrators are handcuffed by government administrators who seemingly want to make it impossible to control your classroom. As we've seen this summer, they are doing the very same thing to the cops.

Why are they doing this? It's very simple: Successful black people tend to not vote Democrat. So by basically sabotaging them by encouraging them to make poor choices, they keep blacks poor and they continue to vote Democrat.

It's sad blacks haven't caught on but during these riots, there were quite a few on camera that realized what was happening was retarded and put a stop to it.

While it is obvious that Democrats use black poverty to manipulate minorities into voting for them, I don't see how you can attribute black under performance in school to them. Everything has been done to give minorities an advantage in school, nothing works. They get more federal funding, they have special tutoring programs like head start. Text books and tests have been re written to cater to them.

I have even seen documentaries on ghetto schools where there were actual students who did understand the importance of education and did see college as a way to get out of the ghetto. I believe this student really did work hard, but she still did not get good grades, even in the environment of grade inflation. The terrible, and inescapable truth is that up to 80% of potential educational attainment is IQ. It is true that there are a lot of extra obstacles in these schools that will hold anyone back, but removing all the obstacles does not grantee success. It's like driving a clunker and a sports car on soft mud. Both cars are unable to move more than a few inches at a time. You can prove that the mud is holding them both back. But if you fix the road the sports car can potentially hit 200mph but the clunker can barely hit 50.

I do agree that the DNC wants to keep people poor. But I believe their strategy for that is to make success impossible for everyone. Government programs institutionalize people and make them dependent on government handouts, while high taxes and wealth grabs ensure that anyone making their way up the ladder is dragged back down before they reach the level of wealth to avoid taxes.

But the Republican way does not solve inequality or minority under performance. What can be said is that by allowing those with potential to maximize it, their success benefits the whole country. If you fix the race track and let the race cars run you get orders of magnitude more benefit from that money than by paving the dirt roads. It would be amazing if we could find the race cars on the dirt road and put them on the track, but pretending that they are all race cars is stupid and very harmful to society.

There are black people that are very good at math. Remember, there has been a lot of interbreeding...

There are exceptions, but the overall situation is that the kids in the ghetto aren't failing out of school because they are being sabotaged from outside. No amount of money or effort can turn those schools into what you see in the suburbs. The best thing that can be done for those kids is to hold them accountable for their actions and put pressure on them to work harder. And if it hurts your feelings to hear me say they need to work harder you are the problem. It doesn't matter if it is their fault, it doesn't matter if some white kid gets everything handed to them, they are behind the 8 ball and the only real way for them to get out is through a lot of hard work.
