"Some states that had among highest overall graduation rates produced some of the weakest numbers for blacks."
Interesting
And then there was this:
"In Cleveland, just 28 percent of the class of 1998 earned a diploma. A stunningly low 23 percent of white students graduated.."
I don't have any statistics to back this up, but if you've ever been to some of the high schools in Cleveland, BETWEEN CLASSES AND YOU AREN'T BLACK AND YOU AREN'T A FLAMING LIBERAL, you might not be too surprised that White Kids don't want to go to school.

When it comes to this:
"Some states that had among highest overall graduation rates produced some of the weakest numbers for blacks."
I wonder if Black kids get discouraged and don't want to go to school. That seems consistent with one of those famous studies they did in the 1950s.

This happens in Los Angeles from time to time. It's always sad when children are involved. There are no words to describe how heinous a crime like this is.
My heart goes out to the family and the City of Cleveland behind this horrendous crime.

Amongst youths, Cleveland is locally known for the annual "beat up a White kid day" that numerous Black cliques 'celebrate' in a fashion that is obvious given what they name the day.
