Good post! But not consistent with your premise that reason Blacks are not learning is because they have black teachers. I just want solutions to problems not defensive reactions and finger pointing

It's the quota thing. It causes unqualified people to be put into positions because of their gender, color, etc. Sad deal with the first carrier qualified women fighter pilot. She was scrubbed then requalled. They wanted a women and she was at the front for women (there weren't many). Her wing leader on the carrier tried to have her cycled to shore because she was not qualified ( he was prejudiced) and he was overridden. She died finally because of pilot error. Truly sad. Whether women are qualified or not was not the issue, she wasn't. But we had put numbers in place saying there will be X numbers of female pilots on carriers. Quota's are the problem with their thinking all the way through.
