It could be you are going into the comparison believing that everyone is the same, that everyone acts the same and that everyone wants the same thing.

For instance if Blacks value education less, doesn't it stand to reason they might earn less is due in part to that?

If Blacks are involved in the justice system more, might that also effect how long their sentences are?

If black prefer to save for retirement less, might that not mean they have less to pass on to their children?

Statistic show there is a variance in life styles between groups,

Black and whites

Men and women.

North and South.

Urban and rural.

to compare outcomes that are different and conclude it must be a conspiracy, perhaps is not accurate.

When one looks at the charge you are making, just on the face of it.....it makes no sense.

As I said Blacks do worse in areas that are largely controlled by blacks.

Education, -what institution has done more than College to try to advance the education of Black students, yet we see Blacks (on average) do much more poorly than whites. Especially Black males. We have gone over this before and I showed where the Poorest whites do better than Blacks from the 60,000 per year family.

My friend it is an imperfect world, no doubt there are incidents where Blacks are short changed and so forth but there is also a huge sense of good-will from whites to protect, defend and help advance Blacks due to the unique history Blacks come from. Just look at the conversation here, White folks will wet their pants trying to refute anything I say. (though they can't post a single fact).

I'll tell you, one time I got my Azz kicked by a mob of people, it was so bad I had to crawl under a car to escape. When I got home and my dad saw my face

you know what he told me?

DAD: Boy if you go looking for trouble, you will find it.

And he was right.

It's not that some bias is not out there, I just think you look for it.... and therefore you see it.

My mother was a teacher for 40 plus years, sold the value of education every chance she got. My boss has a masters in math and engineering. My coworkers all have degrees. So your theory that blacks value education is #######, if the family doesn't push it, it won't happen.

I've posted about blacks first time offenders getting harsher sentencing. But whites who repeat offend get less. But I guess we should just accept that.

Your line of thinking is exactly the problem, that blacks are lazy and don't value education.

All you coworkers have degrees? Are all your coworkers black, or are you referring to "your people" again

They're black, but I didn't refer to them as my people. I'm arguing the silly notion that blacks don't value education.

With all that education one would think you would pay attention a bit more what you read.

I asked a broad question as different results between groups are not limited to Black-white.

Lets read WHAT I wrote.

<<< if Blacks value education less, >>>

Which is your way of saying we do, just like we are less educated, commit more crime, etc, etc, since you love to post stats that prove your theory without the backstory to it.

You know I think that use to be a very popular theme. I guy I worked with at the local Grocery store was poor and black.One of the nicest people i have ever met. Him and all his brothers got degrees. He is principal of the same school that he could not even legally attend until the 4th grade.

Sadly i just don't see the same thing in the black youth today

My mother says the same about the youth she teaches. It's not they can't learn, because anyone can. It's a myriad of things, lack of parental guidance, attitude of learning, being around folks who think being smart is acting white and selling out.

Exactly you know the truth you just hate to embrace it. What you just pointed out is the biggest obstacle to blacks today. Oddly you guys still argue it's racism

No sense reposting the numbers concerning those issues, the point I hoped to make was you can't compare different groups and expect identical outcomes.

I think it would be more productive to if what if anything we can do to improve the situation so that the group differences are not so extreme in some of these areas.

Step one, Black kids need fathers to be involved in their life. WHat cased this titanic shift of fathers out of the homes of Black families?

You have a nifty way of embellishing what I do say and making up things I didn't say.

I never said, nor do I believe "Blacks are lazy" why does that stuff even come to your mind when no one said it?

Blacks don't value education as much as some other groups, that you would contest that is silly.

Some blacks do.... perhaps many blacks do but as a group, they don't compare.

In fact one of the "theories" floated as to why scholastic achievement is so much lower on average for our Black students is because Black parents don't

do things like read to their young children.

Bet your mom read to you Marvin...... and see how you blossomed?

How much interaction do you have with black youth today? Little I doubt.

What nonsense you post.

Are you just bored and trying to wind up Marvin?

Yo, the time has come

For everyone to clean up their own backyard

Before they go knocking on their neighbor's door

The house of pain

Is cleaning up

Sweeping up

Clocking up

Check it

Check yourself before you check another
