Top performing people spend little time on excuses and lots of time working hard and improving themselves.

Dude, you're stepping up on the side of a guy who thinks it's proper for the police to target people based on their skin color. Should "top performing" black people work hard and improve themselves by lightening their skin?

And top performing poor people make it into the middle class, and top performers from the middle class go MUCH higher than that. That doesn't describe most of us here, and I'm pretty sure that doesn't describe you. So please, stop using "top performing" as if you are one.

Racist?

Impoverished students underperform affluent students regardless of race. People who attribute performance to skin color are either ignorant of the truth or are trying to sell a philosophy of race supremacy. We'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you fall into the former group.

If you were presented with an identical diploma/grades from an entry level white and black candidate would you choose the white guy because white guys are better workers? Do tell.

You disagree with what I wrote? You mad? You sound upset. Perhaps you should focus less on me and stop telling me what I can write or making assumptions about my performance or station in life and more on improving yourself. You'll feel better about yourself and won't feel a need to try and insult others.

Do you really think that top performing poor people can only make to the middle class?

I am just wondering what we spent all these hundreds of billions of dollars on these inner city schools and they are getting WORSE and not better?

All the wile there is NO uproar about it from the black community?

Back to your regually scheduled rant about Racist NBA owners......

I don't claim to know all of the reasons that blacks underperform in school. Liberals won't even answer the question, because stating the truth is somehow racist.

One reason blacks underperform is because Liberals expect them to underperform, cover for them when they underperform, and make excuses for them when they underperform. You guys are part of the problem and I'm part of the solution.

NYC charter schools which are almost 100% minority are some of the highest performing schools in the city

Hundreds of billions? You must be referring to inner city Iraq.

If you can name an inner city school system that is better funded per child than the surrounding white suburbs, I'd love to hear about it. Otherwise, go sell stupid somewhere else.
