unfortunately cries of “racist!” keep us from talking frankly about the issues with blacks.

For instance. What if... blacks (on average) are not as smart as other races, or are more prone to certain negative behaviors x,y,z?

We as a society COULD do positive things to address these issues... but the pressure to pretend that all races are equal prevents us.

Which is worse pretending all people are equal to keep from offending some and artifically inflate their ego (which just sets them up for a fall or to blame others) or to address truthfully the issue head on and design programs or help specifically targetted to help.

You got something there, BUT it should apply to all citizens. There should be testing done in schools, aptitudes determined, and kids pointed to a career field in different trade schools where they can learn and actually make a living, instead of telling them they can become brain surgeons and sent on to clutter up city colleges, and take school loans they can’t repay. I basically was put into a daily two year secretarial class in high school beginning at age 16, and brought home a nice salary as a secretary for many years. A friend working as a secretary in a city college tells me the desirable classes fill up with the worst dullards,filling up seats that are then unavailable for more serious students. After 5 or 6 classes they realize they can’t hack it, and drop out and the teachers teach to half empty classrooms. Education desperately needs a re-vamp.
