The influx of so many Latino immigrants who had little or no education. In addition the total lack of respect for teachers and education in general by our black education. This caused millions to be poured into keeping up test scores among our minority population. It’s not politically correct to say all of this but from someone who has seen it happen up close it’s the truth.

Why do bigots so often describe bigotry as "the truth"? When directed towards others, that is.

Truth, sometimes, is hard to face.

Says the defender of bigotry.

It’s an objective fact that most Latino immigrants who arrive in MCPS have received a limited education and have parents who were poorly educated as well. You go off the rails in claiming the black population has a “total lack or respect for teachers and education.” If anything, white teachers and educators historically displayed a total lack of respect for black students, and of course this did not go unnoticed.

When we start treating all kids as worthy of respect, and meet them where they are, we will make progress. Instead, we have far too many whites and Asians who simply want to preserve their own privilege and find it convenient to denigrate black and brown kids to advance that goal. Shame on you.

Teach your kids to work hard. I am not shamed to encouraging my kids to do their best. Shame on you, actually, for not doing that as a parent.

Asian privilege?! That’s the first time I’ve heard of that.

What is Asian privilege? Lots of Asians I know come from incredibly poor backgrounds or were refugees from Vietnam, etc.

DP. There’s model minority stereotype social privilege. In fact, many Asian children suffer from the assumption school will be easy for them.

Yes, "While Asians overall rank as the highest earning racial and ethnic group in the U.S., it is not a status shared by all Asians: From 1970 to 2016, the gains in income for lower-income Asians trailed well behind the gains for their counterparts in other groups."

https://www.pewsocialtrends.org/2018/07/12/income-inequality-in-the-u-s-is-rising-most-rapidly-among-asians/

That's one reason why the "model minority" myth is so pernicious.

What objective measures do you feel are better now in MCPS than in 2004?

DP- More students taking and passing AP. Better college preparedness, better college matriculations, more STEM awards etc...

Basically anyone interested in doing well is doing better than ever these days, but people here prefer to find fault and complain so I suspect this is lost on them.

that doesn't fit the liberal mindset that all black and brown kids are victims

never mind the fact that you are exactly right

you want to watch a liberals head explode ask them to explain how African immigrants are doing so well.

Oh, I can answer that without blowing my head up.

In general, anyone who is financially and logistically able to navigate the American immigration system when coming from overseas (rather than across a land border) is going to have substantial resources and education. Moreover, the generational trauma of slavery and discrimination is not visited as heavily upon first-generation Americans.

This combination of existing resources and lack of the specific generational trauma and poverty that often characterizes the experiences of American Descendants of Slavery (ADOS) goes a long way toward explaining the differences in outcomes between first generation immigrants and those Americans who descend from slaves.

When is the United States going to get serious about reparations? Millions of slaves were released from centuries of chattel slavery, but there was essentially no effort (or, rather, an aborted effort) to provide that group with any form of reparations or meaningful integration. Jim Crow, racial redlining, the omission of Black Americans from the GI Bill and the New Deal. The "War on Drugs" that somehow was only waged against Black Americans.

You tell me when the US is going to get serious about righting those wrongs, and I'll tell you when we can expect ADOS folks to compete on a level playing ground with white Americans.

I did. That required making sure they knew to ignore the haters and doubters like you. You should be ashamed of yourself for your hateful, racist posts.

Good. What's your problem then? By the way, I am a minority as well and have experienced as much barriers as you have. But, at the end of the day, it doesn't matter. You got to keep moving forward.
