No, Black enrollment is plummeting to the extent admissions are based on merit. Just as short Central Americans aren't ever going to dominate or even enter the NBA. The races are radically different. Until you get that, you are Liberal and a out of touch with reality.

Blacks will be at the bottom in any society based on merit. They will resent that and use their group culture to even the score. Politicians notice such things in "Democracies"......

Now do you begin to see the wisdom of Jefferson wanting them gone?

The highest performing elementary school in New York is a charter school serving almost entirely blacks and hispanics from impoverished high-crime backgrounds. They thoroughly outperform the whites from prep schools, etc. because their teachers make learning delightful and demand performance out of their pupils. Similar charter schools exist elsewhere. It is not race, it is culture. The book "Please Stop Helping Us" by an American Black, describes the importation of poor white trash from Ireland and Wales over a century ago. Their children attended public schools, learned proper American English and other subjects and entered the mainstream. The blacks still have those immigrants' trashy language and attitudes. How do we persuade millions of trashy blacks and others to drop the trashiness, study hard in school and build a culture of which all Americans can be proud? A few of them have done it--how do we persuade the rest?

Oh it's our fault that Blacks are the way they are. Wow. Well we benefitted from public schools in a way they never did or will. That's an argument against what you believe. As for your ONE perfect minority school, I'd guess much of it is hype since White liberals like you need to believe it to be true. The usual scenario is for a charter or test school to open. Black parents notice the utter dearth of Black students. They raise a ruckus and the school caves. Black students enter and standards ar dropped. White students leave since there is no point. Wise parents withdraw their students before they can be assaulted.

What the name of that Black intellectual who champions this vicious idea? That White slave owners made Blacks into savages? So why are they this way in Europe too?

As someone else finally said its culture.

Build a culture where learning and hard work is not only rewarded but actually considered cool.

There is a problem race. Pretending it's not a problem is naive.

Shelby Steele, in his book White Guilt, would argue that we have built a dependency class that continues from generation to generation. Black mothers are subsidized for having children out of wedlock and punished (subsidy removed) when they marry, in effect destroying the family. Kids without fathers in the home creates problems. It wasn't always like this.

Worse that class now believes they are better than everyone else.

For example, had two black land whales walking basically right into my wife and I. This event occurred in a huge courtyard and as we passed them, they commented on us cutting them off.

So, I turned and asked them why they thought they had right of way, and we had to get out of their way.

I then smugly said I was stronger than them and would have simply walked over them and they should learn their real place in society to be seen and not heard.

Neither of them expected me to react to them or comment back and one up them.

I suspect the younger of the two beasties is still raging.

I have had more than enough of these types of fools.

Well, those same farm subsidies have the same effect in whites. The majority of the younger and middle-aged white personnel with whom I work are single mothers, often with multiple baby daddies. There is little to incentive marriage, now. Not among the lower socioeconomic class.

That's just sad.

It is a primary focus of the New Left, the break-up of the core family. It forms a basis for society that the socialistic bastards want to destroy in their quest for domination. Then there is the LBGTQ+ group whose utmost desire is the dissolution of the male-female bond.

EZ,

So this explains why all the great Cities and advanced cultures of Blacks exist every where else other than America. Europe, Asia and Africa...all garden spots.
