In October, the Brookline Tab reported that 68 percent of white students in Brookline met expectations on the math MCAS last year. The number for Black students? Seventeen percent.
Members of the Brookline School Committee were “shocked and horrified,” but amid hundreds of millions of dollars of spending on new construction, the school committee has produced no tangible measures to address these disparities.
How about telling black students to work harder?
When black students do poorly, it's everyone else's fault.
About 49 percent of students in Brookline identify as non-white, 6.4 percent of whom identify as Black.
Huh, yet you are comparing blacks to whites, and not to Asians or other non-whites. I wonder why.
These statistics do not signify that Brookline’s Black students have a lower capacity for achievement. I know because I am one of them.
Complete non sequitur. You being black in no way establishes that black students do not have a lower capacity for achievement. Considering your idiocy, if you were to prove anything (which you do not), it would be something very negative about blacks.
Structural racism perpetuates, creates, and exacerbates disparity. My experience bears this out.
I failed, it's everyone else's fault.
In seventh grade, a fellow Black student gave a speech about how it bothered her that she and I were regularly confused by teachers. Immediately after, someone called me by her name.
MY GOD! They did not immediately gain the supernatural ability to distinguish between you two based on your whining?
Much, much easier on the ego to construct some vast network of oppression keeping you down rather than accepting that your failure was because you were fucking about at school, isn't it?
MY GOD! They did not immediately gain the supernatural ability to distinguish between you two based on your whining?
This reminds me that one of my teachers in High School took a whole of lot of time to notice that there were twins in one other class, since she didn't teach that class at all, but only saw one or the other during breaks.
Good lord I hate this speaking in platitudes that started with politicians and now is used by every social justice keyboard warrior. This is how normies and leftists "think". They emote riddles and newspeak that only they understand - and as we see in "What Is A Woman?" - once you finally unwrap the layers of code language and get to the core of their philosophy, there's absolutely nothing inside.
I don't know how we can have any sort of peace or understanding with these robots.
I didn't notice it, but yes, they are fully past talking "equal opportunity." It was apparent their rhetoric pointed more to "equal outcomes," but I guess I've neglected to watch the phrasing shift further.
Still, it begs the question of "how?" It's not like schools will want or be able to force unwilling kids to actually learn things.
I don't know how we can have any sort of peace or understanding with these robots.
You can't, when your fundamental premise is that your stuff is yours - the actual liberal position - and their fundamental premise is that your stuff is theirs.
Why force kids incapable of learning at a certain level into courses everyone knows they'll fail at?
The problem is not the mysterious, shape-shifting, impossible-to-pin-down "structural racism," It goes deeper than that and everyone knows it. It's the elephant in the room. Much of Western thought, including higher mathematics, is inaccessible to a certain percentage of black people (and others) because of their genetically determined intellectual capacity (IQ).
We are expected to believe that "structural racism" explains every black shortcoming experienced in the real world, which continually bends itself into pretzels trying to accommodate black people, and in academia, the most anti-racist institution we have.
The problem is not the mysterious, shape-shifting, impossible-to-pin-down "structural racism,"
I'd argue it is. I mean, these people fail even harder nowadays than they used to. The insistence of academia to blame every shortcoming of black people on racism and in turn compansating for it, produced generations of black people that cannot even live up to their potential capacity, because they were completely robbed of any understanding of actions and consequences.
Honestly in an ideal world that wouldn't even be offensive to black people. I mean for those that do understand high logic and philosophy, why should they care what stupid people can or can't do because they happen to share skin color? I have White family members that are too stupid to understand certain concepts. So what? It says nothing about me. No matter what country we live in there are high and low IQ people, and to improve society we should all be doing what we can to elevate the intelligent and discourage dysgenics.
100%. Leftist intelligentsia, their educational establishment and media have all treated IQ as automatically racist and radioactive as a topic of discussion because of where black people collectively fall on the bell curve. Elder and McWhorter, black men having high IQs themselves, take the same position.
Some people just aren’t qualified. Also how many of the black students were admitted into the school but weren’t qualified. Sadly he has been taught to blame structural racism. If you don’t qualify it’s not helpful to blame everything but yourself.
I remember Thomas Sowell talking about how when he was a college professor he noticed a large amount of black students in remedial classes and when he looked into it he realized it was affirmative action accepting these students into the school when they weren’t qualified
It is not low-intelligence, it is not racism, it is not a flawed system that has brought about these low test scores. It is the entitlement of ignorant motherfuckers. When you glorify the laziness, supreme narcissism, and stupidity that is current black culture, you enshrine the path of least resistance lifestyle. You call these dumb, lazy assholes kings who deserve everything because of some imaginary reason, they expect it and treat everything and everyone who isn't them as beneath them.
This is the true 'systemic racism', and it comes from within.

Exactly what I was thinking. Poisonous thinking to blame “the man” instead of yourself
Seductive, though - as it's designed to be.

True

Oh, that's very, very simple. If you cannot drag the bottom end up, you force the top end down.
You can't, when your fundamental premise is that your stuff is yours - the actual liberal position - and their fundamental premise is that your stuff is theirs.

Anti-racist in the SJW sense, not in the objective sense. Because academia is extremely racist, just against whites and Asians.
Precisely what I meant. "Anti-racism" in the Kendi/DiAngelo sense = the most racist claptrap ever to come down the academic pike.
Yes, anti-racism of the racist Kendi/DiAngelo kind.
If you tell a leftist that the average white student will never understand differential equations, that leftist will nod.
If you tell that same leftist that the average black student will never understand basic algebra, that leftist will call you a racist bigot neo nazi.
I'd argue it is. I mean, these people fail even harder nowadays than they used to. The insistence of academia to blame every shortcoming of black people on racism and in turn compansating for it, produced generations of black people that cannot even live up to their potential capacity, because they were completely robbed of any understanding of actions and consequences.
So it's structural "anti-racism."

I see what they've done to Charles Murray.
This is what not making sandwiches does to a nigga.

Instead they just burn and shoot up their own neighborhoods.
