<p>Well, I don’t mean to be moronic. And you two are right, I shouldn’t have attributed it solely to the culture or the mindset, but the numbers are so dire that I have a hard time believing that discrimination is to blame. I’m well aware that it still exists today, but to such an awful extent?</p>
<p>I think a lot of the reasoning on this thread has to do with higher-achieving blacks being, in general, a little more sensitive to crying racism. It’s something I’ve noticed in real life, anyway. (As opposed to these fake lives we all lead on the internet. :))</p>
<p>And I can’t seem to quiet this part of my brain that keeps saying, “If you want to achieve, you’ll achieve.” Which brings me back to… the culture. >_< </p>
<p>I don’t know.</p>
