Note that the article says FCPS is a powerhouse nationally - doing something right methinks.

Blacks are inferior
Just say what you think don't dance around it with playful quips

That is absolutely NOT what I think. Many factors contribute to the achievement gap. I was just wondering what the Asians are doing right. Why doesn't this problem affect them?

Asian families value education and put an enormous amount of pressure on their kids to get good grades. Black people in the US tend do the opposite. But I'm sure a lot of people on here will blame the principal or whatever. That is why bussing kids to the rich kids schools tends not to work out so well.

I strongly disagree.

You do realize black American women are the most educated group in America, yes?

That doesn’t happen if, as a race, you don’t value education.

This is just one reason this type of diversity in our teacher workforce is important. Kids of all races need to know that there ARE black families that value education. Lots of them. Otherwise, races continue to accept the negative narrative about blacks that isn’t true.

While things are improving, I think you need to study statistics.

Really? Then please enlighten me on where I’m incorrect.

The US Census data is irrefutable. Did you even take a look? Or just relying on your old beliefs?

BTW, what do statistics have to do with the fact that black American women being the most educated group in America debunks the theory that black Americans don’t value education?

most people I know, self included, stopped reading the Pi
Post and its Magazine long ago. Too bad. it was once A great newspaper. Everything now is reported from a race point of view by young SJW writers with no editing for judgment.

No they're not. I think you are likely getting your information from sites like "The Root," which obviously has an anti-white agenda. It is true that black women blow away black men when it comes to higher education. Like, it's not even close. It's actually laughable that you believe that black Americans beat out Asians in the academic world. And it's even more pathetic that only one other person is calling you out. But I guess there is a lot of self loathing around here.

For starters, you are misinterpreting a statistic. Black women are far more educated than Black men. Black women are not the most educated group in America.

This spells it out pretty well.

Don’t take my word for it. Check out the US Census records.

Still we have this lazy narrative of black Americans not valuing education.

We’ve gotta do better as a country. Until we do change the narrative from stereotypes to reality, having black teachers in front of our kids is so important.

While you’re at it, check out the stats for single mothers. Compare the percentage of white ones to blacks. A lot has changed.

So can you inform Sandy Darrity and other economists that the "racial wealth gap" is something they made up?

I’ve never even heard of “The Root”. Initially I thought you were accusing me of getting my information from the movie Roots when I specifically told you my info came from THE UNITED STATES CENSUS. Check those facts.

Asians are the most educated IMMIGRANT group but as an immigrant group, I’d assume they probably don’t outnumber black Americans.

Funny you skipped right over Whites and went straight to a comparison between black women and Asians of all people. Speaking of self-loathing.

Your underpants are really in a bunch over the fact that black Americans may not be the education-loathing, degenerate underclass you desperately need them to be in order to feel superior.

Check out the percentage of black Americans who are middle class and higher socioeconomically while you’re at it.

You’re Exhibit A about why countries like Fairfax NEEDS teachers of color.

Can you inform yourself that I can be middle class or even wealthy—-but someone else can be wealthier?

80% of black Americans being middle class or higher socioeconomically has nothing to do with Whites. Or Asians.

Is this your tantrum after checking the stats and realizing I’m correct? Are you having a hard time having your favorite stereotypes debunked?

Again, this is why non-black students need black teachers.

These are stats for a specific group of college students in one specific year: 2010.

Please refer to the US Census.

And check your prejudices.

You seem to have a difficult time accepting the truth. Ask yourself why and grow in 2020.

This is your response to the fact that a group of people who were brought to America, enslaved and denied rights that they only gained through bloodshed are doing better than you thought? The sad jokes write themselves.

Not having a black teacher from k-12 in one of the most diverse counties in the world is not proof that everyone except Whites have a leg up. In fact, it shows the opposite, especially as it relates to getting a teaching position in FCPS.

Ummmm..... assumptions but okay.

I'm just glad that the vast majority of African Americans are middle class and higher.

One less thing to worry about in the new year, especially since it's out of my control.

Then, why do we have to worry about the achievement gap?
