re: "Stop blaming black parents for underachieving kids"

Seems soom in this Nation are more about making excuses to why some of our kids don't do well in school. There's plently of examlees of kids with limited means learning just fine. You can learn with a pencil, paper, books, and someone who cares enough to teach right. You can have mega millons, but if the will to teach & learning isn't there. Doesn't matter how much one spends. The way some think, it's amazing our forfathers were able to learn to write, alone learn math too.....

Take that Zimmerman witness, that could barely speak a complete sentence, that actually gets you hired in the USA. People where quick to defend this behavior. Instead of finding out why a young kid about to graduare High School wasn't even close to college level english skills. That's the discussion that needed to be addressed with that young lady, and not if your racist because you called a duck a duck. Once we get pass the blame game and truly attack the real problems. What we witnessed with that trail witness will continue until America is full of uneducated and uninformed adults.
