Zone1 When do folks stop whining and moaning over RACISM when the problem is education and respect? In Illinois, 22% of blacks read at their grade level.

Is it possible that African Americans as a group are weak when it comes to say, reading and math, but that they are strong in other areas of life?

For example, hear tell that Asians -- generally speaking -- are better at math than many Caucasians.

So maybe we have to be realistic and accept the brutal reality that African Americans -- as a group -- will never do well in school. So it's better to spend time and money helping them in other fields where they perform strongly.

What fields are those?

They are great preachers.

They know how to keep a crowd spellbound.

For example, President Obama was justly famous for his articulate speeches.
