1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Yes
4. No, I find that a university which does not have a politically correct cross-spectrum of a society can still be part of that society.
5. At times
We obviously agree on more than we disagree judging from your questions. Where we seem to part company is what the causes are. While there is little doubt racism plays a role, there are other obvious factors which go beyond that. Ascribing, as you do, the ills of African-Americans to racism and racism alone is idealistic and naive. The roots of the problem go far deeper whether you deem that utterance "correct" or not. I really don't care.
What I do care about deeply is an ongoing problem that no amount of self-righteousness, self-delusion or ignorance is going to resolve. We have not matured enough as a society to set aside the convictions of self-appointed ideologues and deal with a naked truth that will continue to plague us until it is openly and honestly confronted.
Idealism is a privilege of youth, stupidity is not.
1) So, people just end up in universities, no matter whether they have complete high school or not?
2) Have you ever worked in a school, or worked with kids? Because I have, and I can tell you that poverty makes a MASSIVE difference.
Try this for size. A kid couldn't get free schools meals because he parents couldn't be bothered to sign the form. How does a kid study properly when he's hungry.
Another case. A kid was always late for school. Someone at the school called the parents and asked why. "Oh, he has to take his two younger siblings to primary school" "well can you not wake him up earlier?" the school asked. "No" was the response.
So the school had to call the boy up every morning to make sure he could get his sibling to primary school and himself to school on time.
These are not cases from a school I worked, but someone I knew's school. 50% of kids in the city lived in families with not enough money to live, and this school was in the poor part of the city.
I worked at a school were perhaps 3 fathers were in prison for sexually abusing their kids, and that was a good school.
3) So, after saying yes to poverty having nothing to do with education, you now say that poverty of black people goes hand in hand with low levels of achievement??? Have you made a mistake here?
4) This is about what the guy might be say, rather than what you think.
5) Is this the right wing way?
Wow, I never said that I was just saying racism is the only cause. I think racism plays a part because historical racism has put a lot of black people at the bottom of the pile, and it's not always so easy to rise up. But I also think racism has affected the way people deal with the situation.
But it's not just racism. There's also elitism, the rich not wanting the poor to rise up. This is done by making education not worth so much. If you follow what happens in UK politics you can see the Tories (right wing) have come in and decided education needs to be purely academic. In the modern world this defies comprehension, a lot of kids simply aren't academic. In the US academic education is still seen as very important, when in reality it shouldn't be.
Intelligence comes in many forms. And to say one is the "right one" is ridiculous.
But there are other ways of keeping people down. The Native Americans have been kept down by sticking them on poor land, destroying their crops, under-educating them, giving them cheap alcohol and many other ways. Then people joke they are useless, well if the govt forces them to be useless, what are you going to get?
I have been there,I know the Czechs had a very low birth rate since WW1 up until the 1960's,even today they have quite low fertility rate compared to other parts of Europe,it use to be called Bohemia before WW1 and were famous for amongst other things "Bohemian Glass..cut glass"which they still are today,still called Bohemian Glass,your 98%would be about right but I do know you had an influx of Vietnamese in the 80's and there have always been a community of Italians,Greeks and Turks.
