I agree, the problem is systemic, not a willingness to allocate resources.Where are those funds going? It certainly isn't the inner city schools that need them.

Ask yourself, if this money was given to a school in Beverly hills would it have been wasted like this?
The crooks got the check and couldn't believe their luck.
This is a BLACK problem. It will be purely dishonest if we blame it on white people.
white racism is just as dangerous [if not more dangerous] to the education of black kids as this anti academic black culture you believe in...
Yup culture, culture, blah blah blah.
It was also "black culture" that justified slavey and Jim Crow laws
Miss me with that crap
We are here talking about what could/should be done on a government level. You can't govern peoples households, but you can put people/programs in schools to help students deal with their problems at home.
yeah well actually culture was the reason why black people were put into slavery, in africa there was already a culture of slavery which made it easy for europeans to come and simply participate in the ongoing slave trade, and the lack of knowledge and the lack of organized formal education in africa allowed the europeans to conquer and dominate africans through technology
as far as programs to help people in the home, that is actually my whole point, the public school system is not designed to handle children who come from anti academic homes and broken homes and the whole system needs to be destroyed and rebuilt to address home life and culture
i dont ride with bigdeeot as far as genetics, but i do agree that there is a black culture that needs to be addressed and is seen worldwide, i think that culture is a disdain and/or ignorance about formal education
Yup which is why it was black folks applauding Sarah Palins lack of education, and chiding Obama for being too educated
i was saying the same thing i say about black people to these people http://www.thecoli.com/threads/still-paying-for-the-civil-war.212893/#post-8396795
im just talking about black people because that is what im concerned about and its the subject at hand, but the theory im suggesting applies to everybody including white people
there is nothing peculiar about black people in terms of world hisotory, and as far as i know there is nothing genetic about black people that makes them less intelligent or less academic, but culture is real, culture is the most significant factor in the rise and fall of peoples and countries and empires
i dont ride with bigdeeot as far as genetics, but i do agree that there is a black culture that needs to be addressed and is seen worldwide(), i think that culture is a disdain and/or ignorance about formal education
And skin color doesn't dictate culture either
only tangentially, fundamentally its black culture, if black education depends on the level of white racism then i can tell you for sure that black kids and black people are doomed
i didint say that, but your family and your surroundings and a bunch of other factors do determine your culture
fixed.systemic white supremacy* needs to be acknowledged, and remedied.
...i aint finna get into a back and forth about what is or isnt 'black culture' either...
