I'm guessing the logic is "if they spend less time under punishment, then that would mean more time studying"
Which is the holy grail of optimism. You know how many black people were in my AP classes? 1, and she was half-chinese. The one black guy in my psychology class almost failed even though that class was notorious for being an easy A. There were tons of "gangsters" in my school even though our area is a pretty safe area with little to no gang violence.
We should be doing more to change the culture that African-Americans find so cool. I'm not saying that black people are dumb, heck one managed to become president. The problem is
most black people seem to purposely ignore scholastic activities in favor of partying and being a gang banger. There's a reason why most of the successful black people are actors or sports stars.
I don't want to go on a rant and turn this into SD material so lemme just say niggas be cray.
I agree with all of this.
