Check it out. It is actually possible to get a letter printed in the WSJ. God forbid anyone take it to heart and actually teach the history of successful Americans of African heritage.

• WSJ and Black History

I have to agree with him. A successful one is an exception. The normal and average one is not mentally capable of being a huge success.

Wow, didn't expect a comment like that.

I notice you didn't say it wasn't true. LOL

I don't have to say it. You know it is not true that folks of African Heritage or any other heritage as groups are less capable than anyone else. Of course, you miss the point. The author was suggesting Black History doesn't include the success stories and history teaching should be confined to only victimhood and past injustices. My point is that the success stories are as much part of history as the negative stuff and success should be included. One common denominator in most of the success stories is the presence of a strong parent or as in the case of Justice Thomas, grandparents. Faith is also usually a factor.

Then why aren't all the groups accomplishments the same the world over?
No, no two groups nor individuals have the same mental or physical abilities. Every human is different, and the average in every group is different.

One should read the (buried if not actually banned) Bell Curve.

Well researched and documented, and right on point.

Authors were crucified after publication.

Article from Forbes attached. We should be teaching folks that education, effort and adherence to basic values can lead to success in life; not treating them as uncapable victims who cannot get by without government help.

• Racial Intellect Differences

I agree with your post, but as to the link, her first sentence proves her totally wrong. "First a disclaimer: There is no such thing as biological race;""
One look at members tells you that state is false.
Then she goes on to say all three races had different amounts of improvement when taught alike. As I said before, the average. I did not say all members of any race.

Cool
