[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AS students are succeeding because of their home life and their parents.  That kind of parenting will never happen in AA and HI households. They have too many social, mental and cultural issues that bring them down, putting energy towards educating their kids is low down on their priorities.  They are struggling as family units on very basic issues.

MCPS can give them everything except  change their homelife and switch out their parents. They will always be at a disadvantage.  It is the effect of historic slavery and breakdown of family units for generations. We cannot understand this level of dysfunction.  The difference between AA blacks and African blacks who have immigrated here is of day and night.  [/quote]

I have a bunch of black friends that would be very upset to hear the way you describe them and their family lives.  At least the lower middle class background that I came from exposed me to black people and true friendships, don't paint them all with your racist brush.[/quote]

I have a bunch of black friends who are recent immigrants from Africa. This has been their assessment and guilt as well of why AA in this country are unable to succeed.  Those who are middle class and have educated, married parents are in a different ballpark then most other blacks who face all kinds of issues.  And these are mostly people who are recent immigrants. They have had intact families for generations.   Opinions do not matter, reality matters.  There is nothing racist about it.  The secret sauce in Asian-American success is intact families.   Yes, maybe it is generalizations, but these generalizations holds true for majority of these racial groups.    Every race has dysfunctional families but Blacks have a proportional larger numbers of them.  That is one of the reasons that they are not "privileged",

Every single nation in this world has a rich class and a poor class.  US has a poor class comprising of a higher proportion of Blacks.  Many have blamed it on lower intelligence of blacks as a race, which is bunkum.  High performing recent African immigrants have proved that there is nothing wroing with the intelligence of Black people.  It is the family units that are still not fully functional because of years of slavery and degradation.    [/quote]
