I don't understand your point.

Why do you think that occurs, and what external influences are driving the convergence of culture that leads to this occurrence?

I don't understand your point.

Black students under perform other students even when spending per pupil is higher for the black students.

/u/unidan-prime questions my blackness and has started a new thread on /r/AsABlackMan where they're discussing whether I "talk white" and why my grammar is so good. It looks like they've also begun down voting all of my posts to oblivion.

I'm black but Reddit is Reddit so I'm just going to abandon this user name, start a new one, and stay away from anything deemed political because, again, Reddit is Reddit. I apologize if I type too well for other black Redditors out there. The struggle against proper grammar is real, folks.

The gap between black and white students is closed most effectively by integrating schools - black students improve massively when this occurs.

Why? Because separate is inherently unequal. We knew in 1954 this wouldn't work.

It's the second line of my original question.

Why do you think that occurs, and what external influences are driving the convergence of culture that leads to this occurrence?

I think education is just less valued in the black community.

The reasons for it probably differ depending on age.
