Arizona's black male graduation rate was 84% compared to white males 82%. Does this prove that the racial gap is a really a socioeconomic gap or is it something special about Arizona. Black Male Graduation Rates – The Urgency of Now
Probably statistically insignificant in difference, yet shows parity.
I have always contended that differences in income, crime, and academic performance among blacks relative to whites is CULTURAL. Change the culture and you will get better results.
My youngest son's best friend is this HUGE black kid (both are seniors in the Catholic school system). The black kid is the valedictorian- my youngest (a relative family academic under achiever) has a 3.50 GPA. This kid, while being lower middle class, has TWO PARENTS who EMPHASIZE EDUCATION. Not to mention great academics, this kid is very mentally disciplined. In short, a good influence for my kid and we love to have him around our house.

Because school districts are so different within the same state, let alone different states, it is very difficult to draw any conclusions just off of raw graduation rates.
Just perusing the numbers, I did detect what I see as somewhat of a pattern, States with lower numbers of black male students tended to be the states with better graduation rates.
Nearly all the states with a larger number of black male students seemed to have lower graduation rates.

Nonsense, American black people don't have a different culture. Black parents do think education is important in poll after poll this is demonstrated. Black students do think education is important in poll after poll this is demonstrated.

Must be something special about Arizona, it's not happening anywhere else. Most important for Arizona is what is the latino male graduation rate?

You talk like culture is something that just fall out of the sky and just randomly lands at certain race groups and not others.
If you have a triple digit IQ, think about it for a minute.
To answer your question, there are many DNA differences among different races. Science as of today, and still advancing, can tell by DNA if the person belongs to a certain race or not.
Regardless of the abovementioned, can you really not tell the difference between someone from Africa vs. someone from Ireland?

Think for the most part, poster is not trying to upset anyone, but feel i think he is right in a good way.
Of course there are many black people who want that good education, all my black friends fit this profile and are smart, funny, intelligent independent people. They have hard working independent parents and live in very good areas. They want the same things in life we all do, no different.
Any person not only blacks, but whites, asians, hispanics, who live in crime ridden driven areas, are not thinking about culture, or an education. Once they join a gang, their lifes are forever changed, and so are they as people. Their culture is now to the gang. So in a sense, i feel the poster is being fortright.

Yes and no on the last statement. It is true that the states that have relatively small Black populations have higher Black graduation rates. However, I think about Iowa and Nebraska. Both states have very low Black graduation rates. And those states have low Black populations. New Jersey has a large Black population and a relatively high Black graduation rate.
