If Black leaders had the avg black person's interest in mind, they would demand good schools in predominately black areas so that the avg African Americans (AA's) no longer have to cope with a substandard education. The uproar over test scores illustrates the point. It is not that AA's have any less intelligence on average, it is that AA's tend to live in areas with inferior schools. The entire modern welfare system seems to perpetuate the cycle of poverty specifically because it does not address the core issue, substandard education. Rather than putting their energy into fixing the schools, Sharpton and Jackson, etc., are screaming about the tests themselves.
