Okay.Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see anything in the article about black females...where are you getting your information on them?
Statistics. Black females are just behind white females in college graduation rates. White males significantly behind black females, black males way down there.
I heard an interesting discussion that pointed out a big problem in poor (and in this case black) families is that the mothers don't have an extensive vocabulary with which to speak to their kids and/or they have not embraced all the little get ahead tricks that people that in the burbs embrace (black and white toys for infants, etc).
Not sure how that fits in with the boy vs. girl learning curve though.
I find it rather shocking that the white literacy level is also pretty low by fourth grade.
I agree, i have always called it getoneese. Blacks need to speak English to get ahead in this world.
For a while they were trying to justify the lack of English by calling it ebonics which i think is ridiculous.
