George Floyd - America so f**ked up

Those Afro Caribbean who under perform at school will earn less in their lifetime than white kids who also under perform at school. I think the disparity was by up to 30% less on average. I wonder why ?

I’m asking you , you’ve done the research I thought ? 

Jesus Gastafari.

One last time.
Official stats tell us that white working class kids perform as badly as Afro Carribbean kids in education.

You have indicated that you believe that the Afro Carribbean performance is driven by their societal characteristics.
So do you think the same characteristics are applicable to white working class kids?

Apologies Oldie, have only just seen your reply.

Once again, you have to delve deeper.

I've asked you what 'White' working class kids?

White British? White Irish? White Polish etc.

There will be some that have similar societal characteristics, yes.

I've mentioned this before that people from 'White Irish' backgrounds performance in education is lower than 'White British'. It's not a coincidence imo that they also have the highest % of single parent households compared to 'White British' or 'White other'. '

The same applies to Afro-carribbean compared to other Black groups too.

You might not like to hear it, but it's an honest assesment from me, somebody who's been brought up within that community, was educated not just in primary but also secondary school made up of predominantly people from that community, its also backed up with actual evidence and statistics.

I'm honest enough to say that it's a big problem not only here but also in the US in places like Baltimore where I've spent time in.

Family structure and not having fathers around for me is a major factor.

Instead of getting offended and blaming it on stereotypes, we need to be honest about it.

Once again, my whole stance has been that it has nothing to do with race. Which by the sounds of it, you agree.

If true
This is just awful...this and an attempt to deny our right to protest
It seems we are sleepwalking

If true.

It's from The Guardian, so very doubtful it will be.

I am sure if people started posting links of articles from The Daily Mail, you wouldn't believe most of it, and rightly so.

The Guardian is no different.

You compare the Daily Mail with the Guardian? 😂

If you had said the mirror, I’d be inclined to agree but Dam hell 😂

Unreal

A black US army lieutenant has filed a lawsuit against two policemen who pointed their guns and pepper-sprayed him during a traffic stop.

Army Second Lieutenant Caron Nazario is wearing his uniform during the bodycam footage, taken in December in Virginia.

"I'm honestly afraid to get out," he tells the two police officers. "Yeah you should be," an officer says.
