Socioeconomic status? President Lincoln was born poor for example. So was Andrew Carnegie. So have many Titans of Industry and Medicine and law. Education...ever hear of Public Schools. I went to one and am not a successful engineer. They got the EXACT same education that I received in desegregated schools with the same funding! Family Status? My parents were divorced when I was in 4th grade! Geography? It's too cold in Montana where test scores are very high?

You make a claim that socioeconomic status, education, family status and probably even geography are the root causes for the differences in behaviors, but where's the evidence to support that? It doesn't exist... liberals have been claiming that for generations now, but many born in those circumstances have elevated themselves to prominence... Your argument, while sounding nice, is bogus and truly without foundation... Here's a question for you, kindly do not ignore it... when a black man becomes successful, why is he called a "sell out" to his race, an "uncle Tom?" Kindly answer that question for once... TIA GZ
