[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dematha has over. 10000 boys and low academic standards compared to most schools discussed on this thread, they should be very good in all sports based on sheer numbers.[/quote]

80's Potomac kid comment.  :roll:

Yes. those black kids couldn't possibly be smart too.[/quote]
2017 snowflake comment.  :roll:
Yes.  You couldn't avoid trying to invent a race issue.
(Not the OP, just tired of the noisy snowflakes)[/quote]

If you want to see some snowflakes, watch the Mater Dei 16 yo get schooled in BB by the 14 yo St. Jerome's boys (their B team). it the best part of the BB tourney at Prep every year.

Your comments are racist. The population is majority black and you can't imagine that their academics are equal to Prep and Gonzaga.... they are.

I sit in the stands with you, I am your friend, I am your neighbor, and I cringe at your comments at these boys when we sit in the stands together. I tell you your racist to your face. You laugh it off you call me liberal, you call me a snowflake, We all call you pathetic. [/quote]

I don't have a dog in this race but you lose all credibility when you say Dematha has comparable academics as Prep. That's like accusing someone of being racist if they point out that Harvard has better academics than Howard. At some point you have to deal with reality otherwise everybody will discount even the valid things you have to offer as the ramblings of a delusional madman. [/quote]

Funny you should use that analogy. My black nephew who attended Prep, turned down Harvard for a HBC, not Howard, because he believed he would get a better education there. Because he would not be (like he was at Prep) the guy everybody assumed got in for sports.

Damatha is a top Catholic college prep private school in the wealthiest majority black county in the world. You think they don't get the brightest kids from their area going there and you also don't believe they get an equivalent education to Prep of all places, maybe you should have said, St. Albans.

The reality is that you don't know what goes on at Damatha. You don't know they also have a top of the line arts program. You probably don't know that tons of black kids get into Prep but choose Damatha over Prep, for academics and the social aspects and for the commute and arts. A kid might choose Prep because he knows he will never make the team at Damatha and playing is important. (Same goes for Gonzaga, you know you are not making the BB team there, so maybe you will go to Prep and you will have a chance.)

If you think the smart kids only go to Prep, you have lost all credibility. [/quote]

I didn't say that smart kids only go to prep, I said that the two schools really aren't comparable from an academic perspective. I would wager that on any metric of academic outcomes, Prep will come out on top.......college placement, test scores, college matriculation, college graduation rate, etc.  It really has nothing to do with black or white. Oh, and congratulations to your nephew but he may regret his decision one day because the quality of education at a HBCU will not be comparable to that at Harvard. He may feel far more comfortable in that environment and thus get more out of what is offered, which is great, but that's not the same as the quality of education. I'd think of that as quality of experience. Either way he's a smart kid that no doubt will go on to great things.  [/quote]

Did you just write college placement, test scores, college matriculation, etc... has nothing to do with black or white. SMH

Just imagine that you might have more to learn than you have to share.

Back to lacrosse... [/quote]

I always thought DeMatha was a big Catholic school for working class whites...[/quote]
