How is it racist? It sounds about right to me.

quote:

79 percent of the TOPS recipients were white


Considering Louisiana's population is 62% white and 30% black, and black people going to college at a lower rate than white people, this sounds about right.

You have more young black males in jail than in college. So how are the numbers supposed to balance out?

These race baiters won't admit black people don't go to college at the same rate as white people. So if you won't admit that, then these statistics do look unfair. However there's nothing unfair about TOPS, you get the benchmark, you get the award. And over 50% of high school students get those benchmarks

I used TOPS, and I am damn proud. Thanks Louisiana.
