The real problem in American public schools is liberal racism

An AP article "Report: Low Grad Rates in US Cities" was recently published April 1 in the Kingsport Times-News. It contrasted the massive differences in graduation rates in urban versus suburban school systems. Many urban schools have graduation rates as low as 30 percent, that experts called "a catastrophe." The problem here is what was not reported, and is typical for news organizations such as the AP that refers to terrorists as "militants." The issue is race and its use as political issue to further promote a left-wing agenda. The failure of the left has degenerated into Marxist' racism.

Seventeen of the nation's 50 largest cities had high school graduation rates lower than 50 percent, with the lowest graduation rates reported in Detroit, Indianapolis and Cleveland...The report, issued by America's Promise Alliance, found that about half of the students served by public school systems in the nation's largest cities receive diplomas. Students in suburban and rural public high schools were more likely to graduate than their counterparts in urban public high schools...

As usual, we are getting another government program to try to "fix" the problem.

...The report found troubling data on the prospects of urban public high school students getting to college. In Detroit's public schools, 24.9 percent of the students graduated from high school, while 30.5 percent graduated in Indianapolis Public Schools and 34.1 percent received diplomas in the Cleveland Municipal City School District...Many metropolitan areas also showed a considerable gap in the graduation rates between their inner-city schools and the surrounding suburbs. Researchers found, for example, that 81.5 percent of the public school students in Baltimore's suburbs graduate, compared with 34.6 percent in the city schools. In Ohio, nearly 83 percent of public high school students in suburban Columbus graduate while 78.1 percent in suburban Cleveland earn their diplomas, well above their local city schools...

Nowhere in this report was race brought into the discussion. Ref. Apr 1, 2007 Kingsport Times-News

Our comrades at the New York Times

To quote "Six Degrees of Liberal Racism" by Terry Michael,

"Left liberal hallucinations about rampant racism are fed not just by indoctrination of the young on college campuses, but by almost daily news "reporting" that demands we see everything from individual medical conditions to public school test scores and access to the internet through the prism of race and ethnicity. All of these disparities can be traced to economic and educational achievement differences among individuals, arbitrarily grouped into demographic cohorts by those who demand we imagine racism as a master narrative explanation." In fact the "diversity industry" is a vast and profitable enterprise in itself.

Let us turn to the "useful idiots" at the New York Times and use their facts and some reason, not their liberal religious dogma. In the article "Study Says White Families' Wealth Advantage Has Grown" (Oct 18, 2004) they lament how the "enormous wealth gap between white families and black and Hispanic families grew larger" after the 2001 recession. Their their conclusion, "The fact that black and Hispanic wealth is a fraction of white wealth also reflects a history of discrimination."

There is no rational basis for that claim. As usual the NYT never separates legal Hispanics from illegal aliens, and ignores the impact of this on low-skilled jobs. But the other data in the article, derived from the Pew Hispanic Center, tells the real story; "Only white homes recouped all their losses from 2001 to 2002. Both Hispanics and blacks lost nearly 27 percent of net worth from 1999 to 2001; the next year Hispanics gained it almost all back (26 percent), while blacks were up only about 5 percent...Hispanics made employment gains in lower-paid, lower-skilled areas like service and construction. Blacks were hit hard by job losses in the manufacturing industry."

But thousands of white workers also lost their jobs in manufacturing as anyone in Tri-Cities Tennessee region can attest to. Many of the displaced white workers here had the very same problems for the simple reason of poor education. This is the real reason that displaced blacks from the same industries lost income, just like many poorly educated whites here did.

The second problem is massive immigration, most of it illegal, unskilled Hispanics, have displaced blacks and some whites from many of these lower-paid industries and have driven down wages across the entire service sector. The overall impact is far worse for blacks than whites. The New York Times failed to note that fact because they are a big advocates of open borders and illegal alien amnesty.

Their political agenda overrules the harm done to blacks and other poor people of all races, whom they care nothing about. These are economic issues and have nothing to do with racism, but more often class warfare. Yet these millions of illegal and legal Hispanics flooding into the school systems, along with blacks, are dragging the whole system down. Going by the school systems listed in the AP article, if school systems like Detroit (nearly all non-white), have graduation rates of 30 percent, then the 70 percent that dropped out are black and Hispanic. They make up most of the dropouts nationally. Is this not because of racism or exclusion, but a problems of IQ and self-inflicted stupidity such as children born out wedlock and choosing to drop out of school and using drugs.

Some data from the Manhattan Institute (www.manhattan-institute.org), a study paid for by Bill and Linda Gates:

70% of all students in public high schools graduate


51% of all black students graduate
52% of all Hispanic students graduate
54% American Indian students graduate

72% white students graduate
79% Asian students

To quote,

"Due to their lower college readiness rates, black and Hispanic students are seriously underrepresented in the pool of minimally qualified college applicants...the main reason these groups are underrepresented in college admissions is that these students are not acquiring college-ready skills in the K-12 system, rather than inadequate financial aid or affirmative action policies..."

So it isn't money and it isn't lack of rigging the system with affirmative action. I believe the black and Hispanic graduation rates are even worse than stated here because of fraudulent reporting on dropout rates used by many states under the No Child Left Behind program. They are moving to pass laws to enforce uniform reporting standards. (April 1, 2008 New York Times "U.S. to Require States to Use a Single School Dropout Formula") I believe the very low graduation in the urban schools in the AP article are more accurate for blacks and Hispanics in general, because these are schools mostly black and Hispanic to begin with. Let's turn again to our comrades at the New York Times.

In a devastating article, "Most Students in Big Cities Lag Badly in Basic Science" (November 16, 2006), they made the mistake of placing white achievement rates beside that of black and Hispanic failures in the same schools systems, a PC no-no. The article concerned a study of ten cities (most of them also in the AP article) that fourth and eight graders to quote, "tested in science failed to demonstrate even a basic understanding of the subject..."

For blacks there was a 77 percent failure rate, for Hispanics it was 71 percent. But for whites in the very same schools, the success rate was 72 percent. The conclusion is obvious that in the same NEA and minority controlled school systems, with all students in the same schools and classrooms, about three-fourths of blacks and Hispanics fail while almost three-fourths of their white classmates pass. Are we to believe these school systems are conspiring to advance white students over minority students? (Asians were not included in the study, Atlanta didn't even report Hispanics and whites where 81 percent of blacks failed.)

It should be no surprise this mirrors graduation rates for whites in the suburbs as well. Whites in these urban schools did about as well as the graduation rates in suburban schools in the same income bracket. Fact: Over 50 years of integration, special programs, race quotas, etc. hasn't changed the fact that whites and Asians far outperform blacks and Hispanics taking the same classes in the same schools. It has nothing to do with schools and everything to do with the student.

The New York Times also reported (August 27, 2007) that even for what few black and Hispanics even graduate, score far below whites on same college entrance exams. To quote, "Black students on average scored 433 in critical reading and 429 in math; the averages for Puerto Rican students were 459 and 454; and those for white students were 527 and 534...the overall results really foreshadow what the future will look like..." In other words as more minorities take the exam and get into college, overall average scores are expected to drop. That data also mirrors the data above in that whites far outscore blacks and Hispanics, while Hispanics do a little better than blacks. Let's look at Asians.

When our comrades at the New York Times published "In Elite N.Y. Schools, a Dip in Blacks and Hispanics" (August 18, 2006), they again stirred controversy over race. The City created three advanced high schools and started a separate program to "prepare black and Hispanic students for the mind-bendingly difficult test that determines who gets into New York's three most elite specialized high schools..." In other words the idea to exclude whites and increase the number of "minorities" in these elite schools. Hispanic students are the largest group in the city's schools at 36.7 percent, and black students are next at 34.7 percent, 14.3 percent Asian, and 14.2 percent white.

The only problem was blacks and Hispanics still failed to achieve anything again and their numbers actually dropped instead. Since the schools were created about 10-12 years ago, blacks have plummeted to as low as 2.2 percent, Hispanics dropped as well, but Asians make up almost 61 percent in some of these elite schools. To quote another "useful idiot, "The statistics clearly show that black New Yorkers are being shut out." The entrance to the school requires an exam everyone has to take, so Asian immigrants have simply displaced less qualified blacks and Hispanics, while whites moved out.

To quote,

"Debate over the racial composition of the city's specialized schools, and the school's reliance not on interviews or grades but rather on a test alone to determine admissions, has captivated New York for decades. Supporters of the specialized exam, which tests verbal and math skills, say it ensures that admissions are based on merit, while critics argue that elite colleges would never judge applicants on test results alone."

In other words they want to rig the system with affirmative action and quotas like many colleges do. It should be noted that Asians, like whites, are barred from affirmative action programs.

Conclusion

At this point I'm sure the professional race-baiters are in a frenzy, go discuss it with the New York Times. Facts are not racism and the facts show that mythical white racism has nothing to do with the massive failure in most minority communities as proven by Asians. This is a society where education is the key to economic success and those unable or unwilling to get it have themselves to blame. Dropping out of school, using drugs, crime, and unwed motherhood are personal failures and the individual must be held responsible for, not society.

We also need to end this Marxist' dogma of "I'm a victim" and using false claims of racism merely to further a political agenda. We also need to take on the left and big business and shut down illegal immigration from displacing and lowering the wages of lower-skilled legal American citizens. So-called "minorities" are entitled to equal opportunity, they are not entitled to equal results. All racial preferences and programs must end, one standard for all.

To quote one opinion,

Scientists and Educators are beginning to realize that low intelligence is possibly due to genetic inheritance of historically low African American IQ levels... Some have suggested intermarriage with whites to raise black IQ levels, but many in both groups have found this to be a distasteful solution with fascist underpinnings. So, it is generally opposed. This leaves African Americans with a permanently low IQ with no hope of remediation, because IQ is not a function of education. The tragedy is found in the mere 17%-25% graduation rates in African American high school statistics as children with low IQ who are forced to act as though they have high IQ predictably fail, giving them feelings of low self-esteem and worthlessness, and may precipitate their later tendency toward violent criminal behavior.

The New York Times raises this alarm as well that IQ is genetic and not just cultural. In In DNA Era, New Worries About Prejudice (New York Times Nov. 11, 2007) the PC police are already going into panic mode. To quote,

Such developments are providing some of the first tangible benefits of the genetic revolution. Yet some social critics fear they may also be giving long-discredited racial prejudices a new potency. The notion that race is more than skin deep, they fear, could undermine principles of equal treatment and opportunity that have relied on the presumption that we are all fundamentally equal...We will all be walking a fine line between using biology and allowing it to be abused...

Just the existence of such genetic differences between races, proclaimed the author of the Half Sigma blog, a 40-year-old software developer, means "the egalitarian theory," that all races are equal, is proven false...many geneticists, wary of fueling discrimination and worried that speaking openly about race could endanger support for their research, are loath to discuss the social implications of their findings...There are clear differences between people of different continental ancestries, said Marcus W. Feldman, a professor of biological sciences at Stanford University. It's not there yet for things like I.Q., but I can see it coming. And it has the potential to spark a new era of racism if we do not start explaining it better."

But does that mean they again silence proof that undermines what maybe only wishful thinking? If proven false, then the entire left-wing race agenda is undermined. And we already have racism against whites as it is because black and Hispanic failure which at minimum is there own fault if culture, and just reality if genetic. Whites today are constantly penalized and attacked for non-existent crimes they never committed even if true. Black IQ is 85, Hispanic is about 90 as are American Indians north and south of the border. Thomas Sowell believes the IQ problem is culture and cites some valid examples. The problem that remains is IQ gap, which immigration isn't helping as Asians cause the same problems for both Hispanics and blacks that whites do. Are Asians going the be targeted as the next "racist" group? To quote another writer,

(data)...shows that European Americans are not the smartest people in America is the fact that the Asian Americans are smarter as a group than European Americans. Asians have an IQ of 103 IQ compared to 100 IQ for European Americans. Jews are the very highest. Jews have an IQ of 115 points. Probably as a result of their higher IQ, Jews have been the most productive people in the world for the size of their population. [If Hitler had utilized the Jews in Germany, he would have won World War Two. Einstein, Oppenheimer, Ferme, and Teller, who were Jews, developed the atomic and hydrogen bombs that ended World War Two and kept the United States and Europe secure since 1945 when the first atomic bomb, developed in large part by brilliant, high IQ Jewish scientists, was exploded on Hiroshima.]
