I think if you were born to a poor woman in a poor community and went to a poor school with other poor kids you'd be different than you are today. Especially with no dad.
I know because I went to Detroit schools till 4th grade. My counselor at my new white school in the burbs told my mom other than what she taught us we learned nothing those 4.5 years.
Nurture not nature. We see black kids excel in good schools.
There may be no saving this generation but we can save the next. Step one is poor women need to stop having baby daddy's. E ******* nuff!
I was one of 6, my father was a factory worker and actually stayed with us and cared for us. By many measures it was a lower class neighborhood, however it was all white and that was the difference.
Black kids in white schools are not excelling, the achievement gap persists across all economic demographics, that is why black parenting is being examined. The more data that rolls in, the more it looks genetic to me.
