The Census website is easy to navigate.

The numbers are garbage anyway. There are many districts where the teachers were pressured to push students through the system.

It is irrelevant. Getting a job is what counts.

Yeah, including my upper-middle class, majority white one.

I doubt it. In the upper-middle class school districts the students are actually raised by their parents and the parents care about education. It is the low income districts that are trying to keep pace by doctoring the standardized test scores and pushing the kids through the system.


At the end of the day the kids from the upper class districts that are getting the jobs. That says it all.

Why do you think Obama gave the speech saying blacks need to do a better job on education?

It's not my fault blacks were put in slavery. I have a lot of black friends and sometimes I'm afraid to say some things around them thinking they might be offended. I'm sick and tired of always walking on pins and needles around black people. Tired Black Man, I disagree with you, we are not all savages. I got mugged by a black man, and I don't think all black people are thieves. Why is it o.k. for Tired Black Man to speak his mind, but when a white man speaks his mind, all hell breaks loose? Black guys rape white women too. Don't act like it was just white guys who raped black women. I'm not even a fan of race mixing, so I agree with Tired Black Man there. Blacks should only be with blacks and whites with whites. I've never called blacks anything but African American or just plain black. If a black ever felt offended at anything I said I would hope that he or she would tell me. I've never used the N word or referred to a black as a monkey or anything like that, but yet I'm still put into a "savage" category. I'm sick of it. Tired Black Man, you're an idiot. Get a life.

You're funny. Your diatribe is tiring and completely unoriginal. lmao. This tired line of thinking is so prevalent that for all we know you simply copied and pasted it here. That's just how often this kind of thing is said.
