Great, a lack of afro-centric schools. So this is what's keeping a substantial portion of blacks from excelling in academics and their careers. It couldn't possibly be the fact that there is an inherent problem in the cultures, values, backgrounds and poor choices of Black individuals and families. Let us not kid ourselves. If 40% of black students are dropping out of school in Toronto, there is a much bigger issue at play.
It begins with people who shouldn't be having children having children. If you can't raise a child or incapable of raising a child, you should not be allowed to have a child. But no, any one who has sex organs and can find someone with complimentary sex organs can procreate. Drug addicts and teenagers. People in no financial position to have children. The lazy,stupid,angry,childish and crazy all get to experience the magic that is parenthood. You need a driver's licence to drive a car, but hey if you wanna have two,three or four kids, we can't stop you.
Obviously more black kids would succeed in school if the individual,family and the community stressed its' importance. If 40% of black children are dropping out, then its just not important to them. You do know what's important though, right?? Instant gratification, street cred and living the hip hop lifestyle. These type of numbers, which are so disproportionate when compared to other cultures, indicate a massive collapse of the urban black community. And it's not just dropout rates, it is criminal,incarceration and poverty rates also.
Some people might attribute this to the fact that blacks are raised in poor disadvantaged situations. However, if that was the case, almost all minorities would see similar rates in those negative categories. But you won't see those kinds of numbers in regards to the Chinese, Indian, Filipino, Vietnamese and Pakistani communities. In fact, you'll find the exact opposite in some cultures, In particular, the Chinese and Indian communties
achieve at a much higher level than even whites when it comes to university placement, medicine,engineering and computer science. And for many of these first,second or third generation families, they have had to overcome even higher hurdles than blacks. Many come to Canada with little or no money. The English language must be over come and they have no deep rooted ties to a bigger community. One thing you will see with these communties. Financially responsible people who stress the importance of education and hard work. Cultures who do not tolerate failure.
Hey, I could go on forever. This is not to say that all blacks are doomed to failure. And it does not mean that non-blacks are all gonna achieve. But when you have one community that is overrepresented and which the so called disadvantages are overcome by other minorities, you have a serious problem. Of course its the values, of course it is their fault. If you wanna see why this argument holds, just look at the native population in this country. An even bigger disaster based on all the same reasons. People not fit to be parents having kids and an abysmal record in having success economically,financially and socially. Hope someone bothered to read this. Please no, "no you didan't" comebacks please. Cause yes I did.
