Most white families in poverty live the same way. They don’t invest in their child’s education and we see the same academic results.

Culture does not emerge from nothing. It emerges from the natural proclivities of its people. Show me a group with naturally low cognitive ability and I'll show you a group whose culture does not value intellectual pursuit.
It really is sad to see the extent to which the right has internalized the fundamental arguments of the left without even realizing it. "Culture" is the excuse the right gives in order to stay in line with the leftist notion that environment is the only cause for racial achievement gaps. Because otherwise they're afraid of being called "racist."
If he right does not break through leftist, "anti-racist" conditioning it will never get anywhere.

Poverty is a different issue. My wife (no pics) is a teacher in a school with upper middle class kids and it is sad how many parents of black kids will pay thousands for a personal trainer/qb coach for their 10-year old, but won’t pay a nickel for a tutor to make sure he passes math class.

Yes, they do. They get worse. I'm waiting on the NAACP and other black organizations to announce their boycott of the University of California.

How TF could doctors, attorneys, judges , etc not figure this out on their own by just speaking to/observing their own children and their children's friends?

i've often wondered if that's the same thing that mixed kids go through. a lot of the voices screaming racism, like colin kaepernick, megan markel, bubba wallace, etc may just be trying to prove their "blackness" cause they were teased growing up and told that they aren't "really black". so now they find racism everywhere to show they are down with the struggle.

My wife and I reared 7 children
5 were our own and 2 were our niece and nephew
No one received less than a 23 on their ACT
The lowest scores were my niece and nephew but for my own children the scores ran from 26 to 34
The first 3 kids a 31 was the highest
The last 2, were 31 and 34
I don’t believe there was any appreciable difference between any of the kids we reared other than parenting experience
As scores increased amongst all kids from child to child except for the two that my wife and I spent the least time with, until our youngest
Iow as we became better parents or children did better

It's the truth. I witnessed it first-hand during 4 years at 90+% black schools. The few that tried and spoke the king's english were mocked relentlessly.

So wait, am I to believe that studying and paying attention in class nets you better grades?
Of course not, that’s racist. Black kids wouldn’t have to do those things to be successful if America wasn’t so racist. It isn’t their culture and mindset, it’s structural racism!

It'll take me a while to find a non-paywalled version, but there was a study from the 90s showing that white students from the lowest income bracket did better on standardized testing than black students from the highest income bracket. They just didn't get affirmative action or grants like the black students got.

Jesus H. Christ. Like crabs in a bucket. Black culture is irrevocably broken and doomed. I can’t fathom a culture that rejects being intelligent and educated. 
Okay, I’m open to the idea that there is a huge IQ gap.

The anthropologist also looked at peer pressure among black students to determine just what effect that had on school performance. He concluded that there was a culture among black students to reject behaviors perceived to be “white,” which included making good grades, speaking Standard English, being overly involved in class, and enrolling in honors or advanced-placement courses. The students told Ogbu that engaging in these behaviors suggested one was renouncing his or her black identity. Ogbu concluded that the African-American peer culture, by and large, put pressure on students not to do well in school, as if it were an affront to blackness.
