Black kids who came from the same 2 parent home, with the same median income, and went to the same school were compared and the performance gap between white and black students remained. I'll send you the link and you can look them up yourself. Why don't you look up the bell curve as well

I agree that it affects the community more when you have shootings and dealings-I was responding to the usage-and it's not just prescription pills. The use of cocaine, Heroine, marajuana, and crystal meth are just as popular in whites as with blacks. Now since you are having a hard time following, I'll explain this again .-in the study, black kids from the ghetto were NOT compared with suburban kids.

You also claimed this."Another funny statistic is that black kids adopted by white parents outperformed black kids adopted by black parents."Do you realize by saying that you just destroyed your whole theory of academic success being genetic.Basically the comment means academic success(or failure) between the races stem from cultural indifference as oppose to genetic predisposition as you so tediously reiterate.

Give me a link to this study.But yeah how is my comment on drugs being more prevalent in the ghetto false?How can you compare the effects of drugs on young blacks in the ghetto to rich white suburban kids popping depression pills?It's true whites might have more access to drugs but as far as comparitive impact theres no contest.

As far as your comment on drugs being more prevelant in black communities, you're actually incorrect. While blacks tend to deal drugs and be involved in gangs on a larger scale, white kids consume illegal narcotics and prescription drugs at a slightly HIGHER rate than black kids. This is priarily because white children have more disposible income and more access to prescription medication.

I didn't say that you idiot...that was a direct quote from the study. And allow me to correct you. These studies were done taking kids from the same background. They weren't comparing a white kid in a 300,000 suburban house with a kid from the ghetto. Read the study! They took kids going to the SAME SCHOOL whose parents had the SAME INCOME and were both 2 parent homes, and the gap still existed! They also took rich priveledged kids both black and white and the gap as still there!

your wrong...They took "black and white kids, adopted in the SAME home by the same adoptive parents and showed that the white children still outperformed the black students. Another funny statistic is that black kids adopted by white parents outperformed black kids adopted by black parents. However, the blacks adopted by white parents still did not perform even close to as well as white students. The gap narrowed slightly."

Also you say no one has come up with a plausible explanation for the black-white gap.Are you living under a rock?Blacks in general live in harder conditions.Examples for that being no fathers,mothers working 2-3 jobs,drugs are more rampant in there neiborhoods.You not taking this into account is exactly my point.The playing field is not equal.So is it fair to judge blacks and whites like this? Of course not the stats are flawed due to the circumstances.I don't why I'm saying this.You should know

Clipseeee (August 28, 2008 at 5:23 pm)

Your claims are accurate from a statistical view.However,to use mere stats to judge an entire group is hardly ethical because of the different environments they live in and it REMAINS unethical when you consider that a lot of whites aren't smart.Also look where most black kids live?Are they to blame for there place in a society wanting them to fail?Your stats may be true but your not looking below the surface to see the sociological discrepancies that may be the real cause.Your smart think deep.

Clipseeee (August 28, 2008 at 5:04 pm)

Your whole argument is nothing more than petty repetition that serves no purpose in proving black people aren't as good as whites.You even went so far as to point out YOURSELF blacks are better in certain aspects.I needn't the stats to validate my claims simply because my argument is in sociological domain and moral obligation to equality.I was never trying to prove i'm better than you more so to prove we are EQUAL. Please don't insult me by taking me as a racist again.
