[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's being missed here is that the NPR story also spoke of how, decades ago, African Americans valued educational achievement and sought out opportunities like Dunbar.  Nowadays the culture has changed to where too many either just take education for granted or don't value it at all.[/quote]

Horrible thing of you to say.  Just because there are what may look like many black or low income kids that don't care about education, please don't make a generalization that just doesn't hold true.  Case in point, look at Banneker and Mckinley.  Those "black" kids and parents truly care about seeking out a great education.  It's people like you when I see posts turning towards racists more and more these days that make me sick to my stomach!  The thing you're failing to acknowledge is the systemic economical issues and NOT race issues when you see "those" black kids in the corner or metro.  Sure some overcome and make it to Banneker etc. Iif we were in Mississippi you wouldn't call the uneducated kids "white kids that don't value education" you would say poor.  [/quote]
