Explained: Why Schools of Color Struggle To Teach Literacy To Underserved Minorities

When parents raise children (or any race or ethnicity) with the teaching that education is tremendously important to their success in life, combined with persistent encouragement and expectations of hard work and success in education, children have a high likelihood to succeed.

If children (of any race or ethnicity) are taught education doesn't matter, makes them a sellout and traitor to their community, and that the system is rigged against them, children have a low likelihood of success.

No amount of money from the well- intentioned, can override this.

Very true. And don't forget that dozens of students of color are directly or indirectly descended from that one student of color whose dog really did eat his homework back in 1905.

The consequences of that bad dog's actions are incalculable and compounding exponentially every day, maybe even every second.

Plus, I heard that dog in 1905 was white poodle.

edit: *of* any race

A brilliant professor of Caucasian Studies in Russia has written a peer-reviewed paper about how the metric system has crippled the ability of white American and British sprinters to compete at the Olympic level.

You see, white Americans and Brits always trained for the 100 YARD dash, and this systemic historical obfuscation of white sprinting excellence has been systemically trivialized by the Olympic bodies of every West African country.

And an Eskimo scholar has convincingly posited that the historical emphasis on paddling with the upper body has resulted in systemic body imbalances that perceptually invalidate perhaps hundreds of millions of Gold Metal level Eskimo sprinters from the duplicity of the so-called "Olympics".

But I thought it was because black kids didn't get to rub elbows with white kids 100 years ago?

I hardly doubt that white liberals would ignore black responsibility for their actions and talents or lack-there-of.

Surely it's best to tell every slow-learning black student that they are doctor or CEO material, held back only by white oppression and historical (insert big Don King style word here).

We tell dumb white kids to set realistic career goals and expectations, like being proud to hold down any job at all.

Maybe we should tell dumb white kids that they're really geniuses, and that they should blame all their academic failures on another race.

Actually, I suppose that wouldn't be helpful at all to dumb white kids. It would actually set them up for failure in life and several stints in prison.

I'm just thinking out loud here, I'll axe somebody of wisdom and color.

“Taking an L” is the abbreviated way of saying that someone “took a loss” or failed at something.

Perhaps every race/gender/gender identity should learn how to take an "L".

Or maybe that's just racist, and it's best that only whites and men should take any "Ls".

It would be insensitive to women to suggest that men are better at inventing things, or to suggest that blacks have any slight general weaknesses as a race compared to others.

I guess I need to remember that Thomas Edison and Ben Franklin and Nikola Tesla did nothing exceptional compared to what women would have done if they weren't forced to knit and gossip with their friends by their oppressive white male husbands.

And even though Sub-Saharan Africans never even invented the wheel, I'm pretty sure that they were just about to when the white man showed up in the 1600s.

We all have room for growth as anti-racists, even me.

The schools of color in South Africa are even more abysmal, due to how whites used to run the country.

Much better now, of course, but the test scores are still lacking. White supremacy.

Why did that prep school of white utterly fail to teach literacy to rojo?

Blacks don't have to worry, they can sit back and let the BLM (black looting machine) come to the rescue.

Sample sizes of 1 are almost as useless as sample sizes of zero. Actually probably worse, and more dangerous.

I heard they only burn/loot/murder due to their rigorous principles about systemic interference with black philosophers.

Asians own all races in math though:)

Why did that prep school of white utterly fail to teach literacy to rojo AND wejo?

I thought that ebonics were supposed to be the answer.

You know schools were segregated by race heavily in the past. Which ones did you think were favored by the establishment and why do you think schools were segregated in the first place?

(hint: because racist people in the past didn't want their kids mixing with the 'other kind' and didn't want blacks to get the same standard of education because they wanted whites to run society)

Has anything been done since to address that shortfall? No.

(spoiler: you've said yourself nothing has been done to break the cycle of illiteracy)

So why do you reject the legacy of racist policies are still apparent today?

Nothing has even been done to break the cycle of illiteracy among college-educated TEACHERS of color.

You can go ahead and mock it, but if a black kid isn't taught to be literate, when that black kid grows up to be a teacher, they teach illiteracy to another generation of black kids who then grow up illiterate, and the cycle just repeats itself. The only way to end this cycle is to dismantle white literacy.

Such a weird racist post. Let’s just get right to the point. Do you think whites are smarter than blacks, yes or no?

Donald Trumpus had all the advantages in

America-white skin,rich father who bribed

to get him into top flight schools-and still

he turned out a functional illiterate.

If whites are smarter,all evidence shows their physical inferiority.

Agree with every word you wrote. So beautiful to see a white person grounded firmly in reality, and showing self awareness. Too many whites engage in constant psychological projection, expecting the black taxpayers and teachers to raise their fatherless children. Or making excuses for why so many whites CHOOSE to be career criminals.

Or when white people say that non-whites can also be racist. That lack of self-awareness is so unsettling as a POC of the LBGTQ community.

All of these hateful white folx are obviously just angry about their own shortcomings as a race, and angry about their own broken homes, absent fathers, abusive single teenage mothers, and touchy feely "boyfriends" of the white single mothers. Just look up child abuse and child sex abuse rates by race. Whites are always in the top 5-6.

But their psychological projection is UNBEARABLE for black lives.
