Your kid's SAT score depends on your income and where you live

    You are making the correlation slaves = horrible. Perhaps.

    There is not an African American today who does not honor the fact that one of his ancestors made it to the New World.

    For all of those clamoring to go back to Africa - go.

    Way before any Europeans came to Africa slavery was an established institution in Africa. It is still an established institution today.

    Some say yes, slavery has always existed in Africa but that when Europeans participated it became much worse.

    Look at Africa today. Look at Boko Haram.

    If you lack you need to be intelligent.

  2. I think you need to google your point a little bit better. You said no one should criticize them.

    I said they were great thinkers but nothing wrong with criticizing them for being slaveowners that used people like property.

    You then said, those slaves should thank the white man for rescuing them from Africa, abusing them and banging the women and beating them because of where Black people are today.

    and everyone else said:

    True. Anyone who wants to critcize Robert E. Lee or Tomas Jefferson can. But they still remain some of the most accomplished individuals in US history.

    You might want want to offer M L. King as a counter. Not even close. Few respected MLK for his intellectual prowess.

    I wanted things to just chill. But daily I am accused of being a racist, a white nationalist, and ...

    Perhaps I am. But whoever is on the other side should be able to deal with it.

    Interfamily stuff like this happens all the time. You are stupid, ugly, smelly, whatever...

    I do not have to like everyone. I do not have to think everyone is beautiful. I do not have to think everyone is equal.

    I am a racist. I prefer my own kind. It is the biological imperative. Anyone who says different is lying.

    Proof - If you are of European ancestry, how much would it take for you to become an African American? Answer - A lot.

    But guess what - we are all racists. We all make decisions based on the race of others. Black, white, green, blue ... all make decisions based on the race or others.

    I used colors but actually that is incorrect. There is a wide spectrum of traits that differential one genetic group from another.

  5. African Americans should get reparations (only those enslaved in the USA should get reparations from the USA). If America can afford to pay for healthcare and schooling for illegal immigrants then it can afford to pay for Reparations. Unfortunately, some Democrats seem opposed to it for some reason. Kamala Harris said she would not support a bill that only benefits African-Americans.

    If you look on twitter, there are many African Immigrants living in America who seem to be against Reparations???? These are the same people who use words like "akata".

    AOC even said that Latinos should get Reparations. The only people owed Reparations in my opinion are those who can trace their roots back to slaves in the deep south in the 1800s.

    Yes, look at the Westboro church & neo-nazis. That's America today and has always been.

    I am sorry this thread degenerates into a racial discussion, it was meant to be more about SAT's strategy to side step the intend of SAT:

    To measure how much you learned in school and so to predict student's college successes and not a way to correct social injustice. They should let the politicians and colleges do that because that is supposed to be their job not the job of SAT.

    Given how ingenious we Americans are, it won't surprise me some will start gaming the system by moving to a location with SAT advantage just before taking SAT and score higher to gain an admission advantage. It is legal, and cheaper than paying Singer $15K to boost your kid's SAT score. And you won't go to jail.
