Mrs. Schifanelli was also uncomfortable with Ms. Kane bringing in an activist group, Students Talking About Race, that tries to “encourage uncomfortable conversations and activism,”
Uncomfortable? I like uncomfortable. It's beyond time to get uncomfortable.
Gee, a very large uncomfortable truth... and not as though it isn't well known and documented... is that Black America, as well as Black Britain, and extending to Black Everywhere, performs at a substantially lower mental efficiency than White Everywhere. Now why is that?
It's because Nature Is Racist. WHAT!! Say it ain't so. Uh-Uh, can't do that. That would violate a principle tenet not found in Algore's "An Uncomfortable Truth", namely that snow will be here for ever.
All over the world Blacks have a lower AVERAGE IQ than do Whites Hey! I din't do it, okay? I'm just reporting the fact.
So what does this mean? Among other things it means that Blacks in a largely white society are going to be frozen out of the jobs that require higher IQs, like doctors, scientists, engineers, mathematicians, to name a few at the top level of IQ requirement.
But there's a way out. Loose the 'tude. Black IQs in the US South are lower than in the North. Exposure to more things and ideas in the North than in the South shows the way. That said, school age Blacks need, really need, to stop thinking that a fellow Black who wants to get ahead is "Just tryin' to be white".
In 1900 the literacy rate among Blacks in the US was higher than it is today. They need to recapture that and go beyond. The brain is flexible and can be stuffed with knowledge at any age, knowledge that leads to good careers and high paying jobs... and a better self image.
You want to go a fur piece in ending the "institutionalized racism" you've helped to bring upon yourselves? You want to be a somebody? Then assign your brains the task of improvement so that you'll be a better fit in a modern techno-society.
