  • Comparing races is fucking stupid. If you are white and young... befriend a black kid. become best friends... and then judge genetics. YOU WONT FIND SHIT! Our behaviors is 100% nurture.

  • Everyone is focused on fixing the school system, nobody is asking why we need a school system at all, kids could be engineers and scientists at 16 years old if they were allowed to choose what they they're interested in learning from a young age instead of being forced into a 12 year system that teaches nothing other than how to take standardized tests which has zero carry-over to the real world.

    People need to understand that the public school system is not about education, it's about money.

  • Poor niglets.

  • @TubeGuest5178 I Didn't realize that Stalin wrote the manifesto before he was even born, lol. K

  • @maddingo12 so true. that was wat i was thinking the entire time.

  • 75% of students not graduating from high school!!

  • @girlzndahood i went to Baltimore school for 3 years! and its true

  • I don't think you can shift all the blame on the educational system or the government. Schools are one side of the coin. The other side is the community where these kids live. You can have the best schools but the drug culture and fucked up communities (single parent households, neglectful/abusive parents etc) will draw the kids back in anyways.

  • Stalin authored the Communist manifesto?

  • Um, Stalin came to power in the early 20th century, not the 1800s. Dumbass.

  • unfortunately how good a public school is based on the location of it

    what's messed up is that the funding a school gets is based on where it is - so a richer neighborhood will put more money into theirs because of taxes

    racism and classism all mixed into one
