And as Governor Manchin said, we shall never see his like again.

Look up from your keyboard skippy and you might notice that in almost every major US city that's been run by DEMOCRATS for 6 decades the streets are on fire. Why? Because the very liberals blacks elected to improve their lives have FAILED MISERABLY.

“Progress is the largely suppressed story of race and race relations over the past half-century. And thus it’s news that more than 40 percent of African Americans now consider themselves members of the middle class. Forty-two percent own their own homes, a figure that rises to 75 percent if we look just at black married couples. Black two-parent families earn only 13 percent less than those who are white. Almost a third of the black population lives in suburbia.”
I don’t know a lot of gym teachers but I know plenty of IBankers.
That's the dude who shoved a diIdo up his a$$ on tv to own the libs and prove he doesn't hate gay people. That's the kind of insanity we are dealing with nowadays.
Damn, sorry I missed that one. Gotta wonder what he's gonna do to appease the golden shower folks should he run into a little trouble with them. Maybe he can be their tree on TV. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmJqDfdGmV4

The Widening Skills Gap
Why is there such a glaring racial gap in levels of educational attainment? It is not easy to say. The gap, in itself, is very bad news, but even more alarming is the fact that it has been widening in recent years. In 1971, the average African-American 17-year-old could read no better than the typical white child who was six years younger. The racial gap in math in 1973 was 4.3 years; in science it was 4.7 years in 1970. By the late 1980s, however, the picture was notably brighter. Black students in their final year of high school were only 2.5 years behind whites in both reading and math and 2.1 years behind on tests of writing skills.
Had the trends of those years continued, by today black pupils would be performing about as well as their white classmates. Instead, black progress came to a halt, and serious backsliding began. Between 1988 and 1994, the racial gap in reading grew from 2.5 to 3.9 years; between 1990 and 1994, the racial gap in math increased from 2.5 to 3.4 years. In both science and writing, the racial gap has widened by a full year.
There is no obvious explanation for this alarming turnaround.
He then goes on to dissuade us from believing family life matters with a short argument....
The huge rise in out-of-wedlock births and the steep and steady decline in the proportion of black children growing up with two parents do not explain the fluctuating educational performance of African-American children. It is well established that children raised in single-parent families do less well in school than others, even when all other variables, including income, are controlled. But the disintegration of the black nuclear family—presciently noted by Daniel Patrick Moynihan as early as 1965—was occurring rapidly in the period in which black scores were rising, so it cannot be invoked as the main explanation as to why scores began to fall many years later
So what is the fix? Or is it the way stats are being measured? Maybe we really do not have an issue, per say, but we need the issue for God knows what reason. As noted earlier. In Howard County, it has shown the Black enrollment in AP courses has shown no decline test scores, rather an increase above state standards.
A fraudulent intent, however carefully concealed at the outset, will generally, in the end, betray itself.

The gap, in itself, is very bad news, but even more alarming is the fact that it has been widening in recent years. In 1971, the average African-American 17-year-old could read no better than the typical white child who was six years younger. The racial gap in math in 1973 was 4.3 years; in science it was 4.7 years in 1970. By the late 1980s, however, the picture was notably brighter. Black students in their final year of high school were only 2.5 years behind whites in both reading and math and 2.1 years behind on tests of writing skills.
Had the trends of those years continued, by today black pupils would be performing about as well as their white classmates. Instead, black progress came to a halt, and serious backsliding began. Between 1988 and 1994, the racial gap in reading grew from 2.5 to 3.9 years; between 1990 and 1994, the racial gap in math increased from 2.5 to 3.4 years. In both science and writing, the racial gap has widened by a full year.
There is no obvious explanation for this alarming turnaround.
He then goes on to dissuade us from believing family life matters with a short argument....
The huge rise in out-of-wedlock births and the steep and steady decline in the proportion of black children growing up with two parents do not explain the fluctuating educational performance of African-American children. It is well established that children raised in single-parent families do less well in school than others, even when all other variables, including income, are controlled. But the disintegration of the black nuclear family—presciently noted by Daniel Patrick Moynihan as early as 1965—was occurring rapidly in the period in which black scores were rising, so it cannot be invoked as the main explanation as to why scores began to fall many years later
So what is the fix? Or is it the way stats are being measured? Maybe we really do not have an issue, per say, but we need the issue for God knows what reason. As noted earlier. In Howard County, it has shown the Black enrollment in AP courses has shown no decline test scores, rather an increase above state standards.
How are those students doing compared to their peers? Yow mentions those black kids were excelling....wasn’t sure how you determined that.
Here we go again, you can’t stand being in the drivers seat and participate in problem solving, love being a backseat driver.
Don’t know...ask the superintendent of HoCo schools. But the implication of that article was they did not make the standard scores lower, the scores actually improved. So it rules out any academic issues with kids in HoCo
That wasn’t the point of the article unless you read a different article. You want me to post it? YOU said the kids were excelling. I asked YOU straight forward questions. How am I “backseat driving”? I can only be responsible for driving my own kids.
We are currently in discussion of the Brookings article.
Brookings article mentioned the Howard County School?

Actually....the girls and boys at Bryan Mawr and Gilman are excelling compared to kids at Dundalk.

In 1964 Democrat legend and prominent Senator Richard Byrd filibustered the civil rights act for 60 days.Your present presidential candidate ULOGIZED Senator Byrd at his funeral.
Nancy Pelosi on Senator Grand Kleagle exalted Cyclops Robert Byrd
“Senator Byrd’s service, and his leadership, were more than worthy to be remembered for many generations to come. And as my colleague Mr. Rahall said, it is very appropriate that we are celebrating Robert Byrd’s life and putting him to rest in the week of July 4th; he was a great American patriot. And as Governor Manchin said, we shall never see his like again.
“May he rest in peace. Amen.”
Because people can change. And in Byrd's case, he did:
For the 2003–2004 session, the National Association for the Advancement of people (NAACP)[84] rated Byrd's voting record as being 100% in line with the NAACP's position on the thirty-three Senate bills they evaluated. Sixteen other senators received that rating. In June 2005, Byrd proposed an additional $10,000,000 in federal funding for the Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial in Washington, D.C., remarking that, "With the passage of time, we have come to learn that his Dream was the American Dream, and few ever expressed it more eloquently."[85] Upon news of his death, the NAACP released a statement praising Byrd, saying that he "became a champion for civil rights and liberties" and "came to consistently support the NAACP civil rights agenda".[86]
“Progress is the largely suppressed story of race and race relations over the past half-century. And thus it’s news that more than 40 percent of African Americans now consider themselves members of the middle class. Forty-two percent own their own homes, a figure that rises to 75 percent if we look just at black married couples. Black two-parent families earn only 13 percent less than those who are white. Almost a third of the black population lives in suburbia.”
Love reading articles form Brookings, Cato, and Carnegie....thanks for that. This part of the article is what really gets the heart of the issue.

… maybe we should ask C&S. He did such a great job answering the last current events question he was asked. Really knocked it out of the park.
The biggest impediment to black Americans moving forward 72 is they have obstacles like you to overcome. They have to deal with life on lifes terms and overcome the love and compassion of all you berkley burnouts from the 60s. I believe that black Americans should be scared to death of every pasty faced cranky old liberal white dude that just wants to help them. Maybe you should just put a lawn chair in your back yard and watch your trees grow.
I use to be a people person until people ruined that for me.
