Not a school system problem as you cant teach common sense, simple deduction and reasoning. You have to wonder what these guys think about and ponder at any given time.

This video is sad but believable. Check out this from a teacher who tried to teach in a poor inner city school: Essay by a teacher in a black high school Here is part of it: *This is a repost from the rants and raves section from the Mobile, Alabama craigslist.*
The truth is usually a tough thing to accept, so I understand if this is flagged. It would be a cowardly thing to do, but I understand it. Some people just ignore unpleasant truths. However, if you think ignoring the problem, or trying to censor the truth, will help our black children improve, you�re dreaming. This is important, so I�m happy to repost � indefinitely if necessary. I find it interesting that NO ONE has had the intellect to refute anything in the essay. They can only attempt to censor it, as if doing so somehow makes it invalid. Weak minds, weak minds.
Until recently I taught at a predominantly black high school in a southeastern state.
The mainstream press gives a hint of what conditions are like in black schools, but only a hint. Expressions journalists use like �chaotic� or �poor learning environment� or �lack of discipline� do not capture what really happens. There is nothing like the day-to-day experience of teaching black children and that is what I will try to convey.
Most whites simply do not know what black people are like in large numbers, and the first encounter can be a shock. I read that essay a while ago and it's disheartening, to say the least. You couldn't custom make a culture more doomed to repetitive failure if you tried. If it could be fixed from the outside it would have been long ago, but that will never happen. Like any group that gets its identity from a feeling of persecution, it's almost a badge of honor to maintain that status. I saw that in the Army - blacks have more peer pressure to be "black" than any group of whites or Hispanics I ever saw. The only way it will be fixed is from the inside, and even though we see those voices crying in the wilderness - some of Chris Rock's videos, Jonathon Gentry's rant against Ferguson (posted elsewhere here), Bill Cosby's long time stance - it's all for naught since anyone criticizing the status quo of the culture is ostracized - they're "white". I really try to be objective about this. I've known a handful of black men that were intelligent, moral, people anyone could look up to and respect - a certain systems analyst and several black NCOs come to mind. Either they were genetic anomalies or proof that anyone can succeed with the right attitude, I favor the latter view. But I am SO friggin' glad I live in a place with a very low population of black people. Current black "culture" is a cancer that can only be cured by the patients themselves, and I see absolutely no way that is going to happen.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.

It's really sad that any African American Citizen that sees the problem with the Black Culture and tries to improve their lot is automatically called an "Uncle Tom" and is ostracized by the Black Community.

That WAS painful.
Those two dudes have no perspective. They've probably walked everywhere they've ever been.
I won't get into the public schools because it's criminal what educators get away with not teaching. Bart, Their teachers share the same intelligence level.. Thanks affirmative action and diploma mill predominately black colleges!

Nope - my friend and shipmate, Darryl Duff (ALSO a 6'5" 300 pound black man), is Ferguson's best - for REAL. An absolutely fine gentleman. A REAL gentle giant. Needless to say, he is saddened and embarrassed by the turn of events in Ferguson.

This is one of the the outcomes of that fabulous movement started by LBJ - "The Great Society". To hell in a handbasket at 80 miles per hour.

I can honestly say I've never known anyone with "normal" mental capacity that could not answer such a question. Friends son has severe mental damage, that I can understand. But these two?

I'd wager that you are correct, most likely it would depend on the area. where I live there are not many blacks of the probably 15 or 20 only 4 or 5 are decent educated people. Lots more dumb whites here than blacks.

No child left behind. Great system. The No Child Left Behind law provides some measure of accountability for the educational system. It is only because of it that we know how well schools are doing.

America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.
