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.


What do you consider middle class?

I see 65% of black households earning less than 50k.


This person has to be trolling us. Let's just ignore.


Of course, because any talk of black progress must be a lie. Please remember the US is bigger than your bubble.

HERE'S A LINK TO THE US CENSUS DATA FROM 2017 SHOWING THAT 19.2% OF BLACK AMERICANS LIVE IN POVERTY I've seen variations of this information for years. It never occurred to me so many didn't realize most black Americans are actually from the middle class. I guess this is what happens when news stories, social media, and your limited view of the world around you are your only basis of reality.

My "bubble" is the Mocha Moms and J&J set. Every couple is dual-degreed and all the children are born in wedlock.

That doesn't negate the national statistics.


I’d think someone living in that bubble would be aware that there are many, many black Americans doing well.

You’re either lying or thought you were a special snowflake. Sorry to burst your bubble but you and your (imaginary?) friends are not.

If I were one of those black people worried about the white gaze I would find you embarrassing.

I do find your hyper-defensiveness almost as boring as your tediously slow mind.

Most black people are upper class, it's a Cosby Show world, it will rain gumdrops tomorrow and we shall enjoy the view from the good ship Lollipop.

Hakuna matata.

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.



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.


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.


You should just stop. You are embarrassing yourself. Asians beat out blacks in education. This is just a fact.

I think the pp might have some type of mental disorder and is an AA studies student. She could easily be triggered, so lets give her a break.
