Race and Admissions - Affirming Disadvantage

The Wokest said:
Blacks are definitely better educated now than they were in the Jim Crow era, so there has been a lot of improvement. I think Obama also set a huge positive example for blacks, he's the role model for most of an entire generation of black kids, and he's erudite, intelligent, and college educated. When Obama first ran for a seat in the house in a black district, he lost in a landslide because he was accused of being overeducated and not black enough. Now he is as black as it gets.

The generational mindset of inherent inferiority that affected the black population, and was perpetuated by white racists, kept them down. I think there's a lot of untapped potential there. There may be inherent intelligence differences among groups but I don't think current IQ tests scores accurately represent its extent.

By whose standards? Let me rephrase that, by what standards? Blacks have always been educated. And very smart. For millennia. If you are referring to what this country has considered "educated" there is a biased opinion there.

"Basically he's asking should we be changing our admissions standards for schools and Universities because black people supposedly don't do well in math. He says we shouldn't be."

This lesson is for you and the rest of the racist klan who misrepresent AA.

Affirmative Action was created because racist white males wouldn't let Black and other minorities in their schools.

So what's the lie in what he said?

I know one thing, if he agrees with you regarding AA he's a sell out.

LOL. You don't even know my position. It's funny how much like Trump you are. It's not about actual policy or positions it's about who you like and don't like personally.

That's right. McWhorter states that black and Hispanic kids can compete with others in math for instance and in her mind that is selling out stating that. Much of the article is about culture. To TTQ64 it's all about victimhood and to step outside that mindset is a scary proposition and thus her animosity towards the author.

I read McWhorter's Losing the Race.
