Reality is, so many African Americans still have that victim mentality.
I remember a couple threads about Obama "abandoning" or "forgetting" about African Americans, almost as if they expected Obama to create a specific agenda full of handouts just for African Americans.
I absolutely agree with you on this pair of comments. They thought that Obama would end the racism, but guess what!
He hasn't. Obama can't change the minds of millions of Americans. That would make the Obama Administration a Communist State.

Last election, I remember some bizarre reports where African Americans were being "harassed" at the voting polls.
As I remember, none of those threads were created by blacks. Im sure that people who want to believe that blacks think like this would think that they would create these threads.

It shouldn't be about abandoning or forgetting about any particular American racial group but the problems of the unemployed, the inner cities should not be ignored because they won't get solved by ignoring them.
Bush's mistake is that he wanted to solve all the problems of Latin American nations by making immigration unlimited and also exporting all our jobs to other countries, Clinton did the same. Meanwhile the problems of America's underclass went unaddressed.
1. Yes, of course. Businesses have to make money. If they do not then they will be out of business.
2. On average, Blacks do not compete well in academics. That is just a fact. Look at the New Haven Firefighters promotion exam for just one example.
3. What do you mean 'shift the bell curve'? A bell curve is a bell curve. It is what it is. You don't 'shift' it.
Your questions don't make any sense to mean. I don't know what you mean.

If you don't understand what a shift in the curve "means", then don't quote statistics. It indicates parroting without comprehension. You're absolutely entitled to your opinions, of course, but please spare me your mangled math.

I'm just asking you to clarify your statement. No need for the hostility. If you can elaborate on your thinking I would be happy to respond.
