Detroit Students Excel At Afro-Centric Schools While Public Schools Struggle | News One
Proof that the schools, not the kids nor any low "black" IQ is at fault.
Pride and self-determination are hardly mindsets which have anything to do with skin color.The goal of Afrocentric education is to infuse pride and self-determination in the students
Parents sign a covenant, promising to do three hours of service a month for the school or in the school; if they fail, the staff can ask their child to leave the school.

Sounds to me somewhat like those "private" schools all the lefty snobs sniff at (except, of course, when it comes to sending their kids to them).
Students sing the black national anthem and recite the school creed, which starts, I will have faith in myself. I can learn! I will learn! I must learn! This is before any reading, writing and arithmetic.
Good for those students and their parents. About time something positive comes out of Detroit.
One question though:

Why the fuck do blacks need a different national anthem?

Why the fuck do blacks need a different national anthem?
We don't really.
In all honesty it's really a joke.
It's an old traditional methodist church song called "Lift Every Voice and Sing", not a very impressive "national anthem" and I consider it more of the "black theme song".

it was a poem written by the black principal of a segregated school on the occasion of a visit by booker t. washington to the school. it was later set to music by the principal's brother.
i never thought of it as a joke, but then again, i'm not black.
Lift every voice and sing,
'Til earth and heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the listening skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
Let us march on 'til victory is won.
Stony the road we trod,
Bitter the chast'ning rod,
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
Yet with a steady beat,
Have not our weary feet
Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered,
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered,
Out from the gloomy past,
'Til now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.
God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
Thou who has brought us thus far on the way;
Thou who has by Thy might
Led us into the light,
Keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee,
Lest, our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee;
Shadowed beneath Thy hand,
May we forever stand,
True to our God,
True to our native land.
We don't really.

Oh... assumed it was a black church song, because it was in a methodist hymnal that my mom used to own. Plus we used to sing it in church during black history month.
It's still not much of a national anthem, being that we never had a nation. I'd still call it a "theme song".

fine by me. i didn't mean to derail the thread.
GREAT!
Let's expand on this concept:
"Struggling black race in America finds success, happiness back in Africa."
