Study: African-American Boys Receive Less Attention, Harsher Punishment And Lower Grades In School

A recent study by the Yale University Child Study Center shows that Black children -- especially boys -- no matter their family income, receive less attention, harsher punishment and lower marks in school than their White counterparts from kindergarten all the way through college. A subsequent article published in "The Washington Post" reported that Black children in the Washington, D.C. area are suspended or expelled two to five times more often than White children. It's a national trend that needs to be addressed.

Judith Browne Dianis, co-director of the Advancement Project joined Roland Martin on Washington Watch to discuss this disturbing trend.

@childofconvenant Blacks like to count egypts advancements as black. They are even saying now that Cleopatra who was a direct decendent of Alexander the Great's macedondian general, was instead black.

@Baron2yahoo What would the results be if one pregnant mom drank booze and smoked crack every day and anouther did not? What would be the results if 70% of blacks were born to an unwed mother and others had 2 parents? What if one child had a gang banger for a role model and anouther's was a Nobel prize winner? What if one child thought it was cool to beat girls , and anouther thought it was cool to get good grades?

@GoddessCierra Then why do schools without blacks not need cops stationed in school?

@childofconvenant Do you know there is a group so racist they say that if not for Afermative action there would be no black medical Drs?

The groups name is Journal of Blacks in Higher Education

Google that group name along with(The Widening Racial Scoring Gap on Standardized Tests for Admission to Graduate School ) to see. Dont compare grades for Math for Footballers against Math55.

@1stworlder who said anything about ancient egyptians?

[Baron2yahoo]

@childofconvenant well it's not that they grow up with the wrong mentalities. It's the current environment in which the American society PROMOTES the negative mentalities that are enstilled in them by the current population(in other words: media & status quo) of their society. And to answer you're question? They aren't really necessary on race alone, but if the solutions being made are producing positive results for them then i would promote it.

@childofconvenant Please dont count the non sub sahara nation as africa, as anchient egyptians recorded that there was nothing past the headwaters of the Nile but savages and cannabils

@childofconvenant Who do you know that did all the rapes in africa or the US. Interpol provides rape/murder statistics for all nations. The small nation of the congo has the highest rate of rape in the world. The "Estimates and Determinants of Sexual Violence Against Women in the Democratic Republic of Congo" study, slated to be published in the Journal of Public Health in June, estimates that 1,150 women are raped every day -- a rate which equates to 48 rapes every hour
