From the article:
"African Americans score lower than European Americans on vocabulary, reading, and math tests, as well as on tests that claim to measure scholastic aptitude and intelligence. The gap appears before children enter kindergarten and it persists into adulthood. It has narrowed since 1970, but the typical American black still scores below 75 percent of American whites on almost every standardized test.'
It's because as a race, blacks are WAY below whites and orientals in IQ. Hey, they have dark skin: why can't they have less intelligence? Well, they do: look at Africa. Look at Haiti, and any other black-majority sinkhole. Facts are facts.
We can never make any progress until we tell the truth. I know the truth about this problem is taboo, transgressive --- but it's true all the same. The reason people will NOT tell the truth when it stares us all in the face is that it is unfixable. You can't fix stupid. It would be like trying to "fix" black skin, but the Ethiopian can't change his skin, as the Bible says. So people try to pretend that it IS fixable, but since it isn't, we haven't succeeded.
I don't know how to fix this either, but I know lying about it hasn't worked.
