Apologies for the late moderation of your co...Joe,<br /><br />Apologies for the late moderation of your comment and reply. <br /><br />Regarding your notion of dumping white kids into lousy public schools, I can't disagree more. Just for starters, if you were to perform such a perverse experiment, you'd have to also give many of them poverty, broken families, and unsafe environments. Things would doubtless even out. <br /><br />Furthermore, I have also, long ago, addressed your other points in <a href="http://gusvanhorn.blogspot.com/2007/10/quick-roundup-259.html#but" rel="nofollow">this post</a> and <a href="http://gusvanhorn.blogspot.com/2007/10/quick-roundup-259.html#comments" rel="nofollow">its comments</a>.<br /><br />GusGus Van Hornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05126749051688217781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839412.post-90058248140018871872014-08-15T05:34:33.589-06:002014-08-15T05:34:33.589-06:00It seems hard to defend what this police officer d...It seems hard to defend what this police officer did based on early reports. But the early reports in the George Zimmerman case looked bad as well.<br /><br />Still, Black Americans are much more likely to be killed by fellow Blacks. Over 90% of people arrested for murder in St. Louis last year were black.<br /><br />If you were to take the black children out of the Ferguson schools and replace them with white children from Idaho and Utah is there any doubt they would do just fine?<br /><br />I think the prospects for blacks doing well are pretty bleak. What explains why they don't do well anywhere in the world? If it's not genetic it might as well be.<br /><br />-Joe JonesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839412.post-85433794814035995242014-08-14T17:45:26.087-06:002014-08-14T17:45:26.087-06:00Thanks, Scott.Thanks, Scott.Gus Van Hornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05126749051688217781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839412.post-10051689810190113162014-08-14T13:25:41.485-06:002014-08-14T13:25:41.485-06:00Great post.
