....admitting the truth.
And it comes from an unexpected source: Joe Biden.
1. "When Biden was asked by The Washington Post about the discrepancy in school performance in Iowa compared to schools in Washington, D.C., the Democrat cited the high population of African-Americans and other minorities in the D.C. area.
Biden said, “There’s less than one percent of the population of Iowa that is African American. There is probably less than four of five percent that are minorities. What is in Washington? So look, it goes back to what you start off with, what you’re dealing with.”
He added, “When you have children coming from dysfunctional homes, when you have children coming from homes where there’s no books, where the mother from the time they’re born doesn’t talk to them — as opposed to the mother in Iowa who’s sitting out there and talks to them, the kid starts out with a 300-word larger vocabulary at age three. Half this education gap exists before the kid steps foot in the classroom.”

2. These are the facts....and it's past time that we stopped ignoring them:
With respect to the education gap, how is it that 'racism' is responsible for these areas in which black students fall short when compared to white and Asian students:
The number of days absent from school
The number of hours spent watching TV
The number of pages read for homework
Quantity and quality of reading material in the home
The presence of two parents in the home.
How does 'racism' explain these ...deficiencies????
How are white folks responsible???
3. Both Liberal welfare policies and Liberal propaganda ('the legacy of slavery) have persuaded large segments of the black population that they need not take the steps that lead out of poverty......rather, they cannot....and only big government programs will save them.
Here is the amazing consequence of half a century of indoctrination:
Overall, white homes had 2.5 times as many books as black homes. But the most surprising finding is that the top quintile of black homes reported having fewer books (69) than the bottom quintile of white homes (71).

We cannot solve the problem until we admit the problem.
It certainly wouldn't hurt to assign a large part of the blame to Democrat LBJ's plan to co-opt the black vote, and destroy the black family.
