I think the opposite might be true - that too many black kids can't intellectually compete - and the rationalization becomes 'don't want to act white'... That said, lots of highly intelligent black people.
To find the truth - and solutions - the problem needs to be looked at without PC glasses or rationalizations...

Probably the last thing I'll be accused of is being politically correct. I'm sure there are numerous reasons why some blacks don't fit into the system; however I know what I observed while growing up. I went to public schools during desegregation. In high school, many of the black males sat on the back row with their heads down of the desk, sleeping. They had no intention to even try. I think theirs was an attitude problem, rather than outright stupidity.
