If blacks believe in education so deeply, then why are the majority-black schools underperforming so badly?

We do value education, but honestly black young men in poor areas have been condition to believe that the only way out is through sports or entertainment. Which half of that stems from negative images and message that poisons our culture, and the other half comes from just a loop of systemic racism. (Before you call bullshite, understand that the Civil Rights Movement ended just 52 years ago.....52).

Saying blacks just flat out don't care about education isn't true. Just look at the statistic of black females, which is now the largest educated demographic in this country now.

I for one, can't speak on the Texas school systems.

I've been hit with comments like these all my life.

I don't believe you. I think what you meant was -- You've seen examples of these corny, canned "racially-charged" comments on American TV over and over again the last several decades. Because of your inability to use reasoning skills and common sense, while also not operating under an obvious bias, you then decided to apply these generalizations and silly, not-real-life examples of "white folk talk" to describe your most likely unsuccessful and unfulfilling life. And finally, you then used this thread as an opportunity to argue your retarded points, while also attempting to generate sympathy from a bunch of white folks on a message board. Pretty sure i covered it all there. Forgive me if i left anything out.

There is a general negative connotation about black people

Regular, law-abiding folks, whatever color their freaking skin may be, tend to respond negatively when a fairly large percentage of the population aren't carrying their weight. Generation after generation of poorly raised children continue to grow up to be uneducated, bad parents who rely on the government to keep them alive. Granted, basically every stat you can find shows that things are getting better for black folks in America, albeit slowly. It should be happening quicker.

And white people denying the proliferation of racist, condescending "positive" ("She's one of the good ones," or "You speak so well") comments towards black people takes the fricking cake.

Get the frick outta here.

Lmao, so your entire counter to what I said is based on you "believing me" lol. Typical.....

I've gotten the " speak so well" line twice at my current job. No reason to make it up.

You will of course get skewered for this, but I agree 100%
