[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since I attended MCPS back in the 70s-80s to when my kids attended in the 2000s+, things have consistently improved by any objective measure.  There are demographic differences that have a clear impact but in terms of educational opportunities and college preparedness, it's never been better.[/quote]

What objective measures do you feel are better now in MCPS than in 2004?[/quote]
DP- [b]More students taking and passing  AP. Better college preparedness, better college matriculations, more STEM awards  etc.[/b]..[/quote]

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.[/quote]

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.[/quote]

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.

here's a serious question for you at what point are African Americans no longer a victim class 2050, 2100.  I'm serious

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. [/quote]

And what would black people do with their reparations payment? Buy a new car, a house, jewelry, or new clothes? [b]How many would use the money to enroll their children in tutoring programs or private schools?[/b] [/quote]

All will. I am sure of it. [/quote]
