“All of this means that an employer hiring or a college admitting the typical black high school graduate is in effect hiring or admitting an eighth-grader.”
This is hideous, it omits that the typical WHITE COLLEGE GRADUATE of recent years could not pass the eighth grade final of my generation and reports indicate that in real terms a new bachelor’s degree is worth LESS in the job market than a new high school diploma was worth in the sixties. That would indicate that a typical black high school graduate of today has an education equivalent to maybe a third grade student of my time, I entered third grade in 1952. I don’t believe there is any recent high school graduate of any race who could pass my high school final unless it might be someone who has learned far more from his own self studies than he has learned in school.
BINGO!!!
