I don’t even listen to this kind of crap any more - people who have to resort to the race card are impotent when it comes to rational, reasoned discussion, and just trying to get an advantage on others they can’t achieve through facts and logic by appealing to intimidation and guilt - they generally have nothing to say worth listening to....

By the way - heard that Ben Shapiro is scheduled for C-Span2’s “InDepth” the first Sunday of next month - should be another good three hours.....

In the USA for the last 40 years we've had a situation in which blacks are disproportionally represented at the upper levels of sports and entertainment, and underrepresented in pretty much everything else except crime. Several explanations are available:

1. Blacks are physically superior and intellectually inferior.
2. Blacks are interested in sports and entertainment - and apply themselves in those areas - but have little interest in anything else and therefore don't bother.
3. The white power structure in sports and entertainment is not racist, but the white power structure in all other areas is racist, keeping down qualified blacks.
4a. The public schools - typically under the control of liberal, pro-Democratic administrators - are guilty of the crime of low expectations, and assume blacks cannot learn and so do not try to teach them.
4b. Blacks in public schools are all too often a discipline problem, do not care about learning, and underachieve or drop out, despite the best efforts of teachers and administrators.

So tell me, Oprah, which is it, and what should we do about it?
