I was just speaking to this thread and about if he generalized to all blacks or not. That's all. You are all free to continue and all that. Sorry for the interruption

However, if you actually DO have a comment about my response to Hoosier, I would love to hear it, because I do value your insight...

However, some of the comments Hoosier made are hurtful and misguided. In my opinion he has an inaccurate perception of people with gross generalizations that needs to be rooted out or at least have a concept of why he says what he says and where he is coming from...

The fact is Hoosier's life experiences have limited him to what several folks see on television rather than how many folks live day by day...

I wish I knew why there is a disparity on scholastic performance by underrepresented people of color on standardized tests. All I know is I came in stealthly, under the radar before the rules changed and was afforded an opportunity, which I took--I also worked extremely hard to get to where I needed to go... Giving up was not an option for me, in my mind...

However, I can speak for only African American children, that my mentality was and still is extremely rare and many give up and fall on the wayside... And I wish we had the actual whole numbers to say that it is alright, but proportionally and percentage-wise, we do not.

Should something new be done by the government? I do not know? What more can be done by the government?

If we solve that problem, we solve many other problems in inter-ethnic/cultural relations...
