What the frick does this have to do with white privilege? Oh the system is racist towards black people and gives them worse grades on purpose? Give me a fricking break.

Its just like people crying about SAT scores being higher in higher income comes in spite of programs paying for SAT prep courses for poorer students.


There is literally a cognitive dissonance related to race/class issues. They literally don't consider that it isn't something that is always given, but earned. They just assume that opportunities are solely the result of economic leverage: better schools, prep programs, etc.

It isn't even considered that maybe the average family is higher income because they are SMARTER than the average lower income families.
