GP Anecdotally and based on personal experience (from the early 1990s) I can tell you that the Georgetown law professor's statement about black students being among the lowest achievers in her classes were accurate then as well.

GP And, as the professor plainly said, it wasn't *all* black students. But it was/is far too many, still apparently. I went to a top 20 law school and know that with few exceptions, the black students I attended with fit the professor's description.

GP One of my class's top ranked graduates was a black woman. But there were many more at the bottom of the class and several dropped out altogether. White kids dropped out, too.

The Woke's desire to signal their own virtue with affirmative action - which then results in far more fail outs, debt, and heartbreak - is so insanely cruel in its effects.

GP It has actually set back the cause of racial equality in our generation quite a bit. I grew up really not caring much about race, mostly because I was in DC where there were large and successful black middle, upper-middle, and upper classes.

Indeed. The degree to which race relations have plummeted over the last 25 years is horrific and dismaying. :(

GP It absolutely is. The American difference these days is far less race (at least for our generation and those below us) than it is class. But we're still pretending it's all race because class still correlates strongly with race.

and, as you say, it's not the poor blacks who benefit from these programs - it's the upper middle class, who know how to exploit the system. Poor blacks living in projects who could USE a hand don't know how to pull the strings and fill in the forms. What a tragedy.

GP Don't forget that NYC is now hellbent (as are many woke CA cities and even DC 'burbs) on excluding Jews and Asians from magnet programs for kids in order to put in less qualified or completely unqualified black and Hispanic kids! Yay, equity!
