The whole point of this thread is that black kids don't try to study because of past racism.

You now want to tell black kids that everything's shit so there's no point trying, then point to the inevitable result of that lack of effort as racism? Are you not the racist?

...who is telling black kids that everything is shit or that there's no point in trying?

Society? You tell me. They aren't getting the grades because they aren't studying. They aren't studying because.....? You atleast appear to support this 'truth' telling, regardless of the self fulfilling outcome.

They aren't studying because it's not worth the effort, due to the racism.
