Are blacks too dumb to compete? (Joseph Farrah Commentary)
World Net Daily ^ | 10/17/2012 | Joseph Farrah

Posted on 10/17/2012 1:50:32 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

There was a time in America when a black man was scandalously counted as three-fifths of a man for congressional apportionment.

(By the way, it was the Southern slave states that wanted blacks counted 100 percent for apportionment while northeasterners wanted them not to count at all. This was the compromise worked out.)

History is repeating itself in Florida and Virginia – and, I’m sure other states to come.

It’s not that Democrats don’t want to count black votes any more. In fact, they’d count them all twice if they could. Instead, mostly Democratic school officials in these states have created new academic goals that hold blacks to a lower standard than whites and Asians.

In other words, the so-called “progressives” running the education establishment in virtually every state as well as Washington don’t believe blacks are capable of achieving the same standards to which whites and Asians are held. That’s why I call “progressives” what they should accurately be called – “retrogressives.” Quite literally, on matters of race, they want to go back to the plantation mentality.

So performance goals are now curved on the basis of race – thanks to those politicians that blacks consider to be, for some reason, their friends.

With friends like these, who needs enemies?

Last week, the Florida state Board of Education approved a new six-year strategic plan with student-achievement goals that vary based upon race, income, disability and English proficiency. For example, Florida hopes to have 86 percent of white students at or above grade level in math, but for black students the goal is 74 percent.

This is insulting, degrading, counter-productive, unfair, racist, demeaning and hurtful to blacks.

That’s exactly what Jacksonville mom Dwan Johnson, an African-American, thought when she called the state’s action “embarrassing.”

No, but learned helplessness is morally corrosive
Teaching learned helplessness is evil

I believe the largest factor is genetic

Read the best selling book "Guns, Germs and Steel" and you will see how you are looking at it wrong.. mostly cultural but other non genetic factors come into play.

Of course not. It is their culture that is holding them back.

I agree. The article is a little more than inflammatory and degrading to those blacks that are nothing like the welfare kings and queens portrayed by the media which do exist but articles like that only serve to alienate and annoy the productive and educated blacks out there. They know Obama is not good for this country and will vote Romney more often than you would think. We need everyone’s vote to remove the Muslim king in office right now.

The moderator didn't think you guys were intellectually savy enough to see through the title of the post despite the body of the thread shining light on it. Personally, I think you guys are smarter than that, but obviously, he doesn't think so. So I'm done at FR. See you guys on the other side! Keep up the fight for the America we have know and love!

Arcy out.

RE: Mansa Musa I of Mali – the obscure 14th century African king who was today named the richest person in all history.

Wealth does not necessarily equate to wisdom.

Did his kingdom prosper even as he is rich? THAT is what I want to know.

ARE BLACKS TOO DUMB TO COMPETE?

Obviously no. If I thought so minority set asides, affirmative action and constant playing of the race card wouldn't bug me so much.

Not at birth. Only after 10 years in public schools. They perform down to their teachers’ expectations.

Black Americans are above all else, AMERICANS! The racism of demagogues {Sharpton, Jackson, Wright, Farrakan, Obama et al.} has taught a generation of Black Americans they are victimized ~ and it’s all BULLS**T !

Black America needs to hear the AMERICAN message of the REPUBLICAN Black leaders {Ambassador Keyes, Allan West, Herman Cain, et al.} and especially the message of MLK: you will be judged on the content of your character (or lack thereof) and NOW is the time to put the past behind; no more of the same old hyphenated-America... Get into the game as an AMERICAN, don’t be a Black-American, African-American, or anything else, just simply be AMERICAN, and the Black Community will prosper as well as our nation as a whole.

Grrr! Pardon my rant, but every body is entitled to My opinion... :o)

“I have a few honest liberal friends who will say just that, not publicly of course, but to me, they have said that they cannot compete and must be taken care of. Most of them believe it is genetic, because when I raise the cultural issue (which I believe it is), they scoff...

Liberals are the biggest racists of all. “

IQ tests have, for the last 100 years, shown a significant difference between whites, Hispanics, blacks.

Chinese and Jewish test scores are at the top.

Having said the unspeakable, I must draw the attention of those outraged by the preceding to the fact that there are many jobs where IQ is not needed.

The present black/hispanic Urban Ferals could become productive if, and only if, welfare is reformed and those capable have to find a job.

To facilitate their job finding success, remove ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS.

They are taking jobs which our fellow Americans need.

Yes, the above sentence does imply that Urban Ferals are our fellow Americans. They are, and we have a duty to them which mandates we reform education, and I here note that we can educate better without the Pooblik Skool Collectives.

“Also, enemies of FR can cite ONLY the headline and ‘prove’ we are racists.

Would prefer to see the article removed.”

Laz, Laz

I am amazed - don’t you know Liberals will never like Free Republic, regardless of what we post. You know perfectly well Liberals know full well that if you hit on a Liberal wife (theirs) she would respond. They won’t forgive or forget, Laz.

The fact that no FR gentleman even gets near a Liberal is beside the point.

;-)

Are we to drop to the level of those who mobbed Darbyshire?

Apparently so. The smartest one had to bring his fat white baby momma to the debate with him.

Fascinating.

Though I do believe there is a genetic component [which, of course, varies widely,] the culture is the greatest contributor to black underachievement. Intelligence can be taught, but it's taught most effectively very early in a child's life.

I suspect that, if ignored till high school, you can still improve a highly-motivated child's intelligence, but not by much.

Joe really ought to do some history homework before spouting off.

The three/fifths rule wasn’t quite a simple minded as he presents.

“Florida hopes to have 86 percent of white students at or above grade level in math, but for black students the goal is 74 percent.”

Even if Blacks were a few ticks lower on the IQ scale they’d STILL be able to make the gap in expectations narrower than it is...WAY narrower, reading ain’t brain surgery. The problem lies elsewhere. Beside that, how “black” are American blacks anyway? I’ve read that most are something like half white compared to African blacks.
