Loading ...The problem with blacks not reaching their potential goes deeper than just getting enrollments up.
It starts in the home and their neighborhoods and now Identity Politics.
It starts with parents at least showing interest in their education. It starts with getting violence in the home and neighborhoods and the criminal elements off their streets that intimidate the kids who want to learn instead of joining a gang.
Sports is good but only sports is not going to teach them to read or write they will need in any job.
Sports can also set them up for failure.
Not everyone is going to get into the NBA when they stop growing at 5 feet, even 6 ft or can get injured so you better have a back up plan. They could also lose interest and need other skills they missed.
The other important things are talent and IQ which equals potential.
A doctor should have at least 120 IQ 20 points over the average and preferably and usually higher. Even a nurse.
They should give all students IQ tests as they can cheat on entrance exams so should do both starting in elementary all the way up.
To find a job or carrear that they can do and not waist their time on what they can’t.
In times of recessions or depressions people were and still are called over qualified because of their IQ and potential.
They know they won’t be satisfied with being there for any length of time and will have the potential to move on.
Where you take a person who say has Down syndrome and give him a job watering plants. He or she will be happy to just do that.
In short it starts in the home and other factors like IQ and or the willingness to study needs to come into play.
You can’t just not study, fail a test then scream racist. But I have seen black teachers downgrading whites and was proven. On the other end some black professors were even stricter on blacks in the higher classes like science and higher math If they didn’t study , you’d fail. They could call him Uncle Tom but he would fail you anyways. They need more teachers like this to challenge the young and stop the excuses that hold them back.
They should have another kinda tests, skill tests that show potential and interest in certain areas as well as areas they need to strengthen which is usually subjects they don’t like that they need to spend more time on.
For instance if I were to take a test that revolved around mechanics I’d fail miserably and if it was revolved around IQ I’d be probably in the retarded curve.
So that would say maybe not your field. I had the potential once but was turned off by the temperament of mechanics so personality has something to do with it too which indeed can revolve around gender.
Fairness also includes culture as far as potential. Most black women for instance would score high in how to make chitterlings but while woman would mostly fail having no clue.
In short don’t just put people in something when they don’t have the potential. Recognize there potentials and interest when young and nurture them instead of expecting them to do something their not interested in or don’t have the potential. It’s setting them up for unhappiness and failure.
Because you don’t have the potential doesn’t mean they don’t , you can still encourage them just don’t try to teach them and trip them up or confuse them. If they only can draw a stick person don’t put them in ART unless they REALLY want to learn. There is different forms of art too. It depends on interest.
In short Identity politics is just a distraction.
In real equality they need to focus or potential and study practices.
Ororeef 13:43 They don’t get it. You can’t just put a person that does not have the potential or interest in something just because.
