This is the equivalent of saying that we have to convict more innocent white people of murder to be fair to blacks, who are only 12% of the population but commit 50% of the murders.

Policies proposed to boost boys [and men] of color ....[CA] "State leaders should revise school testing and funding, extend health care coverage for those aging out of foster care, and make it harder for schools to suspend and expel - all to improve the odds of success for boys and young men of color in California.

Those are among dozens of recommendations from a state legislative committee that spent the past year and a half looking into why the state's minority youth are less healthy, have lower test scores and are more likely to be incarcerated than other young people.

.....Assembly Select Committee on the Status of Boys and Men of Color, led by Assemblyman Sandré Swanson, D-Alameda, will introduce more than 50 pages of policy and legislative recommendations...

......[Swanson] plans to ask Assembly Speaker John Pérez to appoint a new chair so the committee can continue its work next year, and see whether lawmakers should create a state commission on the status of boys and men of color.

Here is a sampling of recommendations from the state Assembly's Select Committee on the Status of Boys and Men of Color:....."

A cry in the black education wilderness

[NEMDF]

Or a certain percentage of black murderers get to go free and unprosecuted, just to allow the rates to equalize. Either way, it is BS.

[FrankR]

That crap started in the 60’s.

[Uncle Miltie]

Failing to discipline misbehaving black students causes a disparate impact on well behaved black students.

Therefore, whoever is caught misbehaving must always be punished, regardless of race, lest their peer group be disparately impacted.

I’ve heard liberals say that many minorities get in trouble at school because we don’t understand ghetto culture. It’s as is we need to understand dissing so that kids do not get in trouble for fighting because they were dissed.

“The soft racism of lower expectations.”

Barry Obama cannot run on his failed anti-Capitalist, Socialistic record so he will as noted, use the race card to threaten otherwise color blind people. Barry Hussein Obama is a calloused and crooked politician from the Saul Alinsly school of - Pick the target - white people - freeze it - make the most of the Politically Correct.... personalize it - race and polarize it using lies, innuendo, guilt for success....Barry Obama will use his race without blinking; he has been there and done that Politically Correct America has forgone courage and Barry Hussein Obama knows it....Michelle Obama is truly racist.

great article. thanks for posting it.

i think the key point is this:
-
“I hope we can also acknowledge that whites are twice as likely to be disciplined as Asians.”
-
basically, proving that it is NOT because of “racist” teachers over-disciplining black students.

[Fester Chugabrew]

It’s racist if you don’t wear your pants halfway down your crack and sire children out of wedlock.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

It’s racist to even make black kids go to school.

[Sherman Logan]

The gender discrimination in school discipline and prison terms is even worse.

Males are only 50% of the population, but 93% of those in prison. The only explanation for this disproportion is illegal discrimination. We must therefore imprison random females and/or release male prisoners until the sex ration in prisons is balanced at 50%.

We also need to release young people and imprison more older people. More discrimination.

[Boogieman]

Boy, I’ve heard some lame arguments from liberals, but that’s a new one for me. It’s not that we don’t understand ghetto culture, it’s just that we (rightly) don’t tolerate it in our schools. At least, that is the way that it should be.

[himno hero]

If they only fit into the system.... but then again it’s a “whiteman’s” thing.... man of these issues would disappear. Instead of being Afro Americans , they need to be Americans. They need to drop their own counter culture for their own survival and success in the “whiteman’s” system.

I do not care where you go, there is only one way to put a nut on a bolt.

It all starts with education, and the parents promoting education...... and not such nonsense as ebonics.

[himno hero]

Ghetto culture is regression to tribal ways. Millions of years of genetics has to have effected day to day living for the genocidal maniacs and free rangers. Conversely, the “whiteman” has experienced civilization since the Romans hit town.....thus have other preconceived notions about day to day living.

[Boogieman]

Well, if you are an evolutionist, then all of the civilization that white folks have had for a couple thousand of years really does not amount to a bucket of spit. Sure, it was the most recent environment we have adapted to, but that would only be a blink of the eye in the evolutionary time scale, not enough to erase our previous genetic predispositions.

[himno hero]

For the “whiteman”? Clearly the most single contributor for our social behavior is Christianity. For the industrial free west? Same

For Africa? they never experienced civilization. Maybeeee two spots for a brief period. Show me where they had organized farming and calculation of taxes for the greater social good...

There are reasons.....
