[quote=Anonymous][quote]Talking about one race at 50% and another at more than 50% is not moving the goal post. Maybe take a statistics class. And the truth remains the same -- I have heard numerous blacks mock college and "book learning." This would be blacks living in big cities, not rural Alabama blacks. I don't hear that same mocking from big city whites.

And to those who said I worked with 30 black people in an office. Clearly you've never stepped foot in a large company in Philadelphia. You step foot into the departments of Comcast, Blue Cross & Blue Shield or another Phil. company -- departments that don't require a college degree like customer service or claims, you're not seeing 30 black people. You are seeing entire floors of black people. An all black department -- where you've got 100 out of 200 women taking an attitude about college, well that's at least 100 kids in North or West Philadelphia (and likely more as each woman generally has more than 1 kid) that are hearing from their moms that higher education does not matter. If you're already living in the ghetto (which both of those areas of Phil. are), you may want to keep your both shut about how education doesn't matter and help your kid figure out some way to get out of the hood -- lest he be hanging with the Michael Browns of the world.[/quote]

You must be an awesome person if you somehow manage to learn how ALL black folks where you work confide in you about how they view education. Gold star for you!

re: education and big city/rural whites. A lesson for you: During redlining, housing discrimination, etc blacks weren't allowed to live in the suburbs with well to do white people. They were pushed to the city. And poor white people stick to the boonies.

Now, whites (who are middle/upper class) are moving back to the cities. So, you are comparing successful white people with poor black people. NOT a fair comparison. If you compared poor black inner city residents with poor rural white residents there would be MANY similarities. BUT, since poor whites are in rural America, they're out of sight. Much easier to shake your head at those misbehaving city black folks.

You continue to ignore the reality that MANY white people shun education. Just look at the Tea Party and or poor conservatives. Look at how so many scorned Obama/Democrats for being elitist. Look at how Southerners show disdain for Northerners who think they're high and mighty because they went to "some fancy college."

You are completely clueless about so many things. So many things...[/quote]
