<p>This is in no way disturbing to me. I’m black and I go to a racially diverse school (almost 41% black, 41% white, 8% other races). Yet even at my school, this plays out everyday. </p>
<p>Its the sad reality of living in America. I’m able to say that I don’t fall into that achievement gap but most black people in America, let alone my school, aren’t able to say that. </p>
<p>The statistics are depressing but look at the way in which blacks are portrayed by the media and the stereotypes and internalization of blacks, it explains everything.</p>
<p>It’s upsetting but I’ve realized this is the way its going to be unless more people make a conscious effort to change it.</p>
